Esslingen am Neckar is best known within Baden-Württemberg for its exceptionally well-preserved medieval old town. The town stretches along the Neckar River, while vineyards rise on the slopes above its historic centre. More than 200 half-timbered buildings survive in the old town, giving its lanes and squares a distinctly Swabian character. The twin towers of St. Dionys Church, joined by an unusual bridge, are among Esslingen’s most recognisable landmarks. In December, the town’s medieval Christmas market brings craftspeople, performers and traditional seasonal food into the centre.
