The 10 Best Things to do in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony
Also known as Brunswick, Braunschweig is, at about 250,000 people, the largest city between Hannover and Berlin. Many of Braunschweig's most historic buildings surround the city center Burgplatz (Castle Square), including the 12th-century Braunschweiger Dom (Brunswick Cathedral), burial place of the famed Henry the Lion, powerful early Duke of Saxony. Henry's rebuilt castle, Burg Dankwarderode, is also on the Burgplatz and is now a museum. The Old City Market is another popular visitor spot.

The Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum is one of Europe's oldest art museums. The name reminiscents of Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. He acquired the major part of the high-class collection: the precious paintings - amongst them works by Giorgione, Rubens, Rembrandt and Jan Vermeer van Delft - as well as the biggest collection of Italian majolica-ceramics north of the Alps, more than 200 exemplars of french enamel paintings as well as a remarkable collection of Eastern Asian artworks.

Was blown away by the quality of the art. Have a fantastic collection of old masters especially Dutch art, including one of only 36 Vermeers in the world (the girl with the wine glass) as well as Rembrandts, a great Jan Steen and on and on including quite a number of Lucas Cranach, The paintings are beautifully presented and the galleries were devoid of people while I was there. Was also a temporary exhibit of drawings through the ages. A real gem of a collection and Braunschweig is very lucky to have such a museum
