Ah, yes! When I started this thread, I was aware that we have a native here on FT.

That was clear from a couple of searches.

Goslar: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/f86bd/eb1b/ is an excellent recommendation for a day trip.

There is another pretty and small old town much closer to Braunschweig that I'd like to mention, and that's Wolfenbüttel: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/f86bd/17dd/ This can be done as an afternoon or even quick evening visit. Take the bus No. 420 from Rathaus and you are there in some 20-25 minutes.

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately, I will not have much time to go beyond Braunschweig. All of my exploring will be limited to Braunscheig itself.

OK. I will have to look for those. Of course, I am hoping that I can find some nice non-student pubs, too.

I will have to let the hotel know the information on their website is confusing.
