Visiting
What to see, eat and drink in Altstadt
OpenStreetMap maps 158 restaurants, 75 cafes and 34 bars and pubs counted in Altstadt, and 114 named sights: museums and galleries, parks, monuments, viewpoints and other attractions. They are counted the same way as the places to stay: each place goes to the area whose centre is nearest, within that area's reach. This rule has no boundaries, so places near the edge can fall in a neighbouring area's count.
