Another of Braunschweig's lovely older buildings is the Staatstheater, or State Theater. Able to trace its roots back as far as 1690, this architecturally pleasing theater and opera house is perhaps best known for having been where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's most famous work, Faust, was premiered in the early 1800s.

Also well worth a visit is the Botanical Garden of the University of Braunschweig (Botanischer Garten der Technischen Universität Braunschweig). Established in 1840 and set overlooking the River Oker, the garden is home to countless native and exotic plant species spread across the site, a highlight of which is the attractive Baroque garden with its pleasant stream.

A must-see in Brunswick is Schloss Richmond, or Richmond Castle. Constructed in 1769 near the banks of the Oker River, this perfect little palace was named after Princess Augusta's former home in Richmond Park, England.

After exploring the city's Old Town Hall, head over to the "new" Town Hall (Rathaus). Located across the street from the cathedral, it opened in 1900 and is designed in an attractive neo-Gothic style. This three-story building is perhaps most popular for its elegant 61-meter-tall tower.

At the heart of the cobblestoned Magniviertel quarter sits St. Magnus' Church (Magni-Kirche), a finely restored old Protestant church consecrated in 1031. In addition to its fine interior, check out the old graveyard. Here, you'll find the tomb of the famous German writer and philosopher GE Lessing, who was buried here in 1781.

The large Hagenmarkt is another of Brunswick's old and once important market squares. Highlights include St. Catherine's Church (Katharinenkirche), a 12th-century Protestant church with a unique organ installed in 1980 using parts of an older Baroque organ dating from 1623.

Another public square worth exploring in Brunswick is the Old Town Market, or Altstadtmarkt. Located just a few minutes' walk southwest of the Burgplatz, this old market forms the heart of the town's former Hanseatic commercial town and has been used as a street market since the 11th century.

Completed in 1175, Dankwarderode Castle (Burg Dankwarderode) is a small castle in Burgplatz that was instigated by the legendary Henry the Lion, one of the most powerful of the German princes. It's a picturesque building and notably devoid of defensive structures as, not long after its completion, it was surrounded by other structures such as the cathedral.

The attractive Romanesque and Gothic Brunswick Cathedral - also known as the Cathedral of St. Blasius (Dom St. Blasii) - was the earliest large vaulted building to be constructed in Lower Saxony. Completed in 1175 during the reign of Henry the Lion, it's definitely worth a visit.

In the heart of Brunswick lies the Burgplatz, probably the best place to begin your visit to this beautiful city. Here, you'll find Brunswick Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. Blasius (Dom St. Blasii), as well as the lovely Dankwarderode Castle (Burg Dankwarderode). This small yet important fortress was built around 1175 by Henry the Lion. A two-story wing was added in 1887, and the building now serves as an important museum and art gallery).
