Overview

Get lost in the fairy-tale book of the Old Town Miltenberg, the enchanting historic quarter where time seems to freeze since the medieval times with storybook-esque half-timbered houses and magnificent historical landmarks such as the 13th-century Würzburg Gate of the Old City Walls guarding the east of Miltenberg, the resilient Main Bridge Gate - the only surviving witness of the medieval Main Gate connecting the New Town and the Old Town, the tranquil 14th-century Jewish Cemetery, Gasthaus zum Riesen – the oldest inn in German, which is said to accommodate many famous historical figures, and last but not least the atmospheric Old Market Square, perfectly summing up the medieval cityscape and vibrant culture of the city.
