Hamelin

See OfFers

Visit the fairytale city of Hamelin in Germany and discover the world of the legendary Pied Piper. Enjoy a relaxing boat tour along the River Weser and take the time to visit the nearby city of Hildesheim, Germany's capital of Romanesque architecture. It is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Romanesque-Gothic Church of St Michael. Hildesheim is a city best explored on foot, taking in the town's Rose Trail.

Also in the area is Castle Hämelschenburg, a beautiful three-winged building surrounded by a moat.

Want to dance to a different tune than that of the Pied Piper? Take a look at our Cologne city breaks or hotels in Karlsruhe for a different view of Germany.

Important Notice: Introduction of the EU Schengen Entry/Exit System

Please be advised that, effective from 12th October 2025, a new Entry/Exit System (EES) will be implemented for all travellers entering and exiting the EU and Schengen Area.

This digital system will replace the current manual passport stamping process by electronically recording border crossings for UK nationals and other non-EU travellers.

At this time, no action is required from travellers prior to their journey. We recommend reviewing the official government guidance to understand how this may affect your travel arrangements.
