Piazza Walther

The rhythm of the square

Piazza Walther is the meeting place for curious travellers passing through the city, melding history and everyday life with every step. From its central position in the square, the Walther von der Vogelweide monument watches silently over elegant coffee shops and houses with centuries of history to recount. The square’s complementary, well-proportioned house façades stretch out gracefully across the square, giving it a unique and timeless feel.

Living the here and now

But beyond the hustle and bustle there’s a different Piazza Walther, inviting you to stop and enjoy its peace and quiet, observe the light picking out the details on the buildings or listen to the buzz of city life in Campo Franco, with its thousand-year-old Ginkgo biloba tree gifted by Empress Sissi to her uncle Archduke Heinrich. Café tables, small talk and unexpected smiles interweave with the history of the buildings, the fountains and the square itself. Historic Hotel Città looks discreetly out over the square, custodian of a part of the city in which everyday life and history meld into one.
