Increasing popularity of the Rhenish city

The Baden-Württemberg city, nestled between the Rhine and Neckar, is the sister city of Ludwigshafen in Rhineland-Palatinate and faces it over the Rhine. The horseshoe-shaped historic centre of the city, which was laid out in 144 "squares" is characteristic of the city.

In the 17th century, the blocks were given numbers and letters in place of street names and remain known by these today. The "square city" attracts ever more visitors and now registers over 1.1 overnight stays per year.
