Market Square in Goslar is a charming and historic town square surrounded by well-preserved buildings, creating a folksy atmosphere. At the heart of the Old Town, the Market Fountain stands as a testament to centuries of history, with its lower bronze basin dating back to the 12th century. The square also features notable landmarks such as the Gothic town hall from the 15th century and the impressive Huldigungssaal.
Absolutely loved this square and the associated atmosphere. Gorgeous buildings and the glockenspiel at 9am is quite cute and entertaining. This town is gorgeous and is an absolute must if in the area.

Goslar is lovely, and this square is a superb example of traditional German townscape. We enjoyed walking around and exploring the wonderful architecture. What a lovely place.
Visited on Walpurgis night and greatly enjoyed the atmosphere, food, cheap beer & entertainment. Beautiful little square where the clock of the Treasure Building has the Glockenspiel- moving figurines with music that tells the story of the Rammelsberg mining industry.
It's an old market square in Goslar, surrounded by old and impressive buildings, some of which are clad in ornate slatework. There are several cafes and food outlets in the square and nearby, and I'd guess that it gets very busy at times. A good place to take a break, before moving on.
Beautiful authentic German village. Buildings are old but architecturally amazing. You can walk around the narrow paths and observe the true German village culture.
Beautiful German City
Super Marktplatz😘Tolle Ambiente viele Touristen einfach nett & chillig hier🧑🎄You will Love it too🙊🙈🙉Very nice place Very cosy nice charmfull and friendly and an Very positiv Energy to chill Out Here 🥰🥰🥰You will Love it too...💋and The fresh Air from the forest is incredible...🤪🤪🤪
A town that has been true to the History of Germany. I has been preserved in the age old fashioned and should be visited should you wish to see how Germany centuries ago used to look.
During the winter is an amazing Winter Market that is truly warm and inviting even when the weather is not.
There is a mine close to Goslar that is a few centuries old that offers tours into the depths of the mountains for those brave enough to go underground.
There are many shops, restaurants and hotels so plan to spend some time in this beautiful little town for a truly German experience.

First thing you notice is the small size of the place in comparison to other "normal-sized" malls, however this doesn't dicrease the diversity of the offer, the place has all the required shops in a mall, a DM, some clothes' stores, a cute tiny Bistro in the entrance, and an Edeka center in the underground.
Nice shelter from sun, cold, rain or snow. Good shops and has restroom even.
Very nice wonderful fantastic
A good number of stores in the same center but nothing out of the special. Still worth a visit.
Surprised bigger than expected with variety of shops.
Everything was so expensive and most of the Brand had poor quality.
Shopping, not many shops but its ok for this small town

Cafe
Located in the historic Altstadt on the Marktplatz, Die Butterhanne is a no-frills tavern offering a wide range of traditional Saxon dishes. The old-world charm and streetside tables create a cozy atmosphere for enjoying regional specialties like Harzer wild game and homemade cakes and pies. Visitors can also savor local Gose beer brewed by Brauhaus Goslar next door.
Die Butterhanne, located in Goslar’s historic market square, is renowned for its traditional Harz region cuisine and warm hospitality. Diners can enjoy hearty dishes such as the flavorful meat roll with pickle and the rich deer meat goulash. The blueberry schnitzel offers a unique twist, and the generous desserts are perfect for sharing. Complementing the meals is a selection of quality beers, all served by friendly and attentive staff, ensuring a memorable dining experience.
The restaurant’s name, “Die Butterhanne,” pays homage to a legendary figure from Goslar’s folklore. The “Butterhanne” is depicted in the intricate wood carvings of the Brusttuch, a historic building constructed between 1521 and 1526. This carving portrays a maid churning butter with one hand while mischievously lifting her skirt with the other, a gesture believed to mock the devil, symbolizing defiance and humor. 
Established in 1870, the Brusttuch has operated as a hotel and restaurant, offering guests a medieval ambiance enriched by its unique decor. Today, Die Butterhanne continues this tradition, providing visitors with an authentic taste of Goslar’s culinary and cultural heritage.

Amazing food and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had the rouladen which was fantastic and so filling! Many people sitting outside in the sun but we chose to be indoors as it was quite hot in the sun for us Aussies! Lovely place and highly recommend.
Stopped in the charming German town of Goslar for a quick break on the drive back to the UK. My meal at Die Butterhanne started with a delightful bowl of Pfifferlingcremesuppe - chanterelle cream soup with fresh chanterelles and a side of baguette. A warming, earthy dish that perfectly set the tone for the journey ahead! The second course was wild boar sausages, served with hearty fried potatoes. The rich, savoury sausages paired beautifully with the crispy potatoes, making for a satisfying and memorable stop.
Very nice restaurant. Very big plates and tasty food. We will come back!!!
We love the XL cream puff. This time serving was not as nice as 8 years ago. Lack of chocolate syrup and the cherry was not warm.
Very good food. We got a table fast and the food was ready after a short time. Quick and nice.
Very welcoming and friendly staff. Food is very delicious. I'd recomend the steak.
Lovely atmosphere but mediocre service. Right in the center. The worst part was having a piece of meat on top of my vegetarian flammkuchen which annoyed me so much. One of the waiters apologized for it but this unfortunately does not make up for it. I would not recommend this place to a vegan or vegetarian person. Besides, the options are very limited for them. It is also overpriced for the taste.

For a quick history lesson on Goslar it was impressive. The cinema experience was ok the english translation of the cinema experience was a direct translation from German word by word meaning some of it didn't make sense and was more comedic than informative but still very much enjoyable.
Totally recommended
€8 for a re-enactment of the city that lasted less than 15 minutes. Definately not worth it.
super :)
👍🏼 Top
(Translated by Google) We found the cinema very enjoyable and I think it is a very good alternative to explaining to the children how mining actually began in the Middle Ages. The effort that went into the decoration and the first area was also very nice. However, you somehow expect a little more from 8D in the actual performance. We also found the wind to be too cold.
(Original)
Wir fanden das Kino sehr angenehm und ich glaube es ist eine sehr gute Alternative den Kindern zu erklären wie das mit dem Bergbau im Mittelalter eigentlich begann. Auch der Aufwand der mir der Deko und dem ersten Bereich betrieben wurde war sehr schön. Allerdings erwartet man von 8D irgendwie noch ein bisschen mehr in der eigentlichen Vorstellung. Den Wind empfänden wir auch zu kalt.
(Translated by Google) We went to the 8D cinema today with four children and three adults, and everyone had a great time. We had a few questions beforehand, all of which were answered very kindly over the phone. The staff member who guided us through the program on site was also super nice and very helpful. It may be quite unassuming from the outside, but inside you'll notice the attention to detail. We can wholeheartedly recommend it.
(Original)
Wir waren heute mit 4 Kindern und 3 Erwachsenen im 8D-Kino und es hat allen super gefallen. Im Vorfeld hatten wir einige Fragen, die uns am Telefon alle sehr nett beantwortet wurden. Auch der Mitarbeiter, der uns vor Ort durch das Programm führte, ist super nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Von außen auch recht unscheinbar, aber im Inneren entdeckt man die Liebe zum Detail. Können wir mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

The Zinnfiguren-Museum Goslar is a unique museum located in an old mill, showcasing the rich architectural and social history of the region. It boasts a renowned collection of over 10,000 hand-painted tin figures and dioramas, offering insight into the cultural history of tin figure making spanning over 1000 years. The museum features 30 captivating dioramas depicting fairy tales that appeal to visitors of all ages.
I was pleasantly surprised! The artistic work is excellent, and the English audio tour is very helpful and clear! Bring your own earphones, because they don't have them (otherwise you have to hold the audio device to your ear). You can make your own figurine, which is also very fun for kids (parties).
The interactive pieces on display are great to look at and experience.
Price: 4 euro P.P.
Toilet: Ask the staff. The toilet is in the Goslar Museum across the Tim Museum

Beautiful little museum. A lot to see and do, with some really nice staff. Making and painting your own tin figurines is also really fun. Everything here is also available for a really great price, including entrance tickets. Absolutely recommend.
Fantastic small gem, don't be overwhelmed by the look of the city and take some time to visit this museum. Not only can you see some astonishing diaoramas made with care but also try to make some figures by yourself. Fantastic place for kids.
Our 2 year old loved it, it is rare to find a museum that children also enjoy. There was enough interactivity to keep her busy. She was able to make and paint her own figure!
You make your own tint toy by casting on your own. Wait for 5 minutes for cooling down. Remove edges. Polish. And even paint. Very unique experience!
We discovered this gem by accident and we were lucky to be able to make our own figurines out of tin. The staff was super nice and explained the whole process to the kids. The results were amazing and kids loved it, highly recommend!
Very interesting and fun exposition for adults and children. Also you can make and drowning a zink figure by yourself.
Amazing place and very nice experience to work on your own figurine. It doesn't take a lot of time and you can sit and relax after a morning of walking.

We went there with a big group of 13 people without reservation on a Monday and we all got a seat.
We ordered burgers, steak and schnitzel.
Everyone was happy with their food and it came almost at the same time.
There is free mayo ketchup and BBQ sauce which is neat!
The portions are okay sized and normal priced.
The staff was very friendly and nice
Would recommend this place!
Dan M — Google review
The food was epic as always, really enjoyed their Tim’s special burger and pasta, but this time we took Veggie burger (which was not that great as compared to others). The atmosphere is always very relaxing and chill, more romantic during the evening hours! Highly recommend!!!
We had a great time here, nice service, fresh food and the price is fair. The omelet with mushroom tastes very good.
Lunch took roughly an hour to be served. When asking the staff about it, it was ready immediately - so it was probably standing there on a hot plate and was forgotten about. Generous portion but incredibly salty, even for German standards. Staff was friendly but not proactive.
Excellent service. Happy waiters ! Good food. What more can you ask for? Thank you Tim’s for a very good experience. Will be back :)
Very nice customer service lovely coffee ☕️ 👌 😀
Many thanks to Peter and Patrick who accommodated us even after the kitchen had closed. They served us the best curry wurst and fries !! Thank you for your kindness to visitors to ur town
Tastiest veggie burger I've had in a long time. Big, filling portions. Kids (9, 11) halved a cheeseburger and that was plenty.

Cozy little spot in the charming town of Goslar. The crackling was addictive, the food and drinks were excellent. Everyone cleaned their plates and portions aren't small. Shoutout to the guy who let me grab a seat after I was 30 minutes late. True MVP! Great vibes all around.

Charming restaurant with attentive service. Staff accommodated my gluten-free needs with care. Generous portions and delicious food.
Ideal location - centrally located yet peaceful.
Highly recommended!
Since this would be the third haxen I tried during my prolonged stay in Germany, I’d say I’ve becoming more of umm an ‘haxen-expert’. And in my expertise opinion, this one win so far. It came with a kiddies knoodle with bits of bacon and warm sauerkraut and dark sauces. The knoodle are warm and creamy and chewy but soft. The sauerkraut was really good! It’s sour (or borrowing the influencer term, tangy) and perfect to balance the greasiness of the haxen. The sauce was okay. The haxen is perfectly cooked! Size was perfect, seasoned perfectly, juicy in the middle but crispy outside. The best part ofc the crackling.. it’s crispy and very flavourful. And to be number one in my ‘haxen adventure’ list, ofc it doesn’t have any gamey smell to it. I could only finished half of it and had the half on the to go box.
I had it with a delicious cold dunkel which was poured beautifully.
The place itself was really pretty. A wooden tavern like place in a small beautiful town that us Goslar. Service was good as well.
If it’s not 250km away from where I live, this would prolly be my go to haxen place. But if you’re around Goslar, I def recommend this place!
We ate there today in the afternoon.
It's a traditionalplace with lots of classic decorations. And all in an old beautiful house. In the center of goslar.
The food is tasty and came pretty fast.
The different selection of beer is good too!
The Brezel we jad before was nice hot ams crunchy.
The staff is nice, spoke good English and was always friendly.
The prices are decent too. Not too expensive for the amount and quality you get.
Defiantly recommended everyone who visits germany or Goslar specifically to visit this restaurant and eat traditional german food!
👍
Excellent hearty meal and beer along with very attentive service.
Highly recommend.
I like the cherry juice. omg omg.
Do it, show the pic to enjoy ur meal!
A good range of draught Paulaner beers and the ones we tried were as good as we have ever tried them.
The Father and Son team behind the bar were fantastic and was great chatting with them. Thank you for your hospitality

Brauhaus Goslar is a traditional brewery housed in a half-timbered building with a cozy medieval interior. It is renowned for its Gose beer and schnitzel, offering a warm atmosphere and wood beam architecture. Dating back to 995 AD, it is one of Germany's oldest breweries, located next to Die Butterhanne on the market square. Visitors can enjoy Goslars original beer while dining on classic hearty local cuisine.
Very nice setting with good beer and good food. Ordered a pork schnitzel and with some extra beer sauce (incredible sauce) it tasted amazing. The gose is a must try, very mild and not a sour beer like it is in Leipzig (which is also tasty).
Vino F — Google review
Highly recommended! The pub is located nearby Tourist Center and offers an authentic experience and tasty fresh beer 🍺 and typical beer food. Important that there were vegetarian alternatives-celery schnitzel-which was very tasty. Waitress Jana was very friendly and kind 🌷
Great place to visit in beautiful Goslar. Beer was tasty, as was all of the food, though food was good, not great. Still, the decor and feel of the brew house was cool, and service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit for the area. We were driving and we parked just a few minutes away in the central car park.
Great food at an even better price. The beer they make themselves is worth trying, very very good.
Absolutely fantastic beer! 🍺 As a brewmaster, I can say this is a must visit spot if you want to experience the historic beer style “Gose”, which originates right here in Goslar, Germany. A true taste of brewing history! 🇩🇪
Simply fantastic! Everything was really tasty, perfectly cooked and well presented. Good location and price.
Congrats! I ate here the best white-asparagus creme I’ve ever tried! If I could I’d give you more stars. Thank you.
Great Brauhaus with delicious and well made traditional german food. Service is fast and attentive. Perfectly located in the town center - it was just a bit cold inside so bring a sweater :)
We made a reservation for two. The poor welcome was a bad start. The frazzled waiter couldn’t find our reserved table. We ended up next to the children’s play area with high waiter traffic. This table needs to disappear, it is a fire hazard! No cozy tables for two? Sorry Goslar Brauhaus, but this was not a good experience. We got up and left.

We had lunch, they only offered Pizza.
Not so good on the same side not so bad. Portions are enough. Price wise too high. Presentation is good.
We have been waiting more than hour for our dishes - 0 apologize from the staff and we were completely ignored. There were many guests who came after us and somehow they could get their food much faster than us. In the end waiter dare to explain us it’s because food is being made with “fresh ingredients”.
Some of the best Italian food outside of Italy! Make a reservation and enjoy. The bruscetta here is some of the best I've ever eaten! The pasta is also amazing. Lots of seafood choices. Family run business with great service...but when full, meals can take quite some time to come out. We were there from 7.30pm and didn't eat mains until after 9.30pm. Still a great night, but not for a quick meal. Bravo 👏👏👏
This is the place to go to in Goslar for a true Italian dining experience. Fresh cooked pasta, our main courses (two different lamb dishes) were very good and the classic tiramisu for desert was delicious. On top of that, the owner/hostess made us feel very welcome here.
A very authentic, nice and cozy restaurant with super nice service and top quality food.
Delicious food, but service has imposed itself too much and made us uncomfortable.
I loved this restaurant. Great pizza, pasta and steak. We will be back.

The Imperial Palace of Goslar is a remarkable 11th-century royal complex that served as the residence for German emperors during the Holy Roman Empire. This Romanesque-style palace is one of Germany's largest and best-preserved secular buildings from that era, earning UNESCO World Heritage status. Despite centuries of disrepair, it was reconstructed in 1879 and remains an impressive structure.
Lovely grassy area which we took our shoes off to enjoy- as only grass we saw in the town. Lovely old building and very peaceful.

The Imperial Palace of Goslar is a remarkable medieval site with a rich history dating back to the 11th century. Inside, the museum showcases artifacts that highlight the Holy Roman Empire’s influence. The Royal Chamber stands out with its beautiful frescoes and impressive medieval décor. From the palace windows, you get a picturesque view of Goslar’s old town, blending history with charming landscapes. While some parts feel a bit worn, the overall experience offers a genuine glimpse into Germany’s imperial past.
Although I never toured the inside of the palace. I thoughly enjoyed the architecture and green space surrounding the site. Some nice views of Goslar behind the palace. Great place to visit.
A majestic historic site that showcases Goslar’s rich past with stunning architecture. The palace and its calm, charming city surroundings make for a truly peaceful visit.
Very helpful staff that made my visit with a mobility scooter easy and very enjoyable! Informative audio guide saves reading all the info tablets and gives good background information on all the exhibits. Well worth a visit!
I really enjoyed it. We got the audio guides which helped explain a lot. I really liked all the imperial art and the explanations behind the depictions. I have never been very good at art history and the symbolism and all of that and the audio guide explanation was very helpful.
Awesome historical place in Hannover City.
Amazing Place. Wonderful historic paintings. Fun to listen to the guide and understand the paintings, so much German history.

This very impressive tower from 1517, a part of the city wall that you cannot miss, houses a museum and a number of holiday homes. The tower is 20 meters high and has walls that are six meters thick. Given its location, in a park on the edge of the old town, a pleasant place to stay.
My fami out attended the night tour. Spoken in German so limited understanding but kids had fun playing with costumes.
Pretty church .. odd though to build a replica of a Norwegian stave church in Harzen
Nice to stay in an old tower :)

Christmas market
Goslar Altstadt, located in the Harz Mountains, offers a magical and mystical experience with its well-preserved medieval architecture. The old town reflects the city's prosperous past, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries when the Rammelsberg mine brought wealth to merchants. Visitors can explore historic sites such as the old mint building on Munzstrasse and Kemenate Rover cultural centre on Frankenberger Strasse, both dating back to this era.
A beautiful town that is highly recommended for a visit.

Great city to visit, everywhere you look, beautiful streets, alley's and romantic sites. You can spend easily 2 or more days.
I was planning to go a place longer from Braunschweig. My son told me just to go Goslar. Really a cute village with vintage homes, clean paths, and interestingly locals and the visitors…. Every one is relaxed and cool. Very pleasant place. Very near to hbf.
Amazing little city, a Unesco site with culture and history. The architecture is unique and quite beautiful. A must see.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Situated in the northeastern part of medieval Goslar, stands "das Breite Tor", a remarkable remnant of the late medieval fortifications. This grand and imposing city gate was both significant and well-fortified, serving as the main gateway to Braunschweig during times of war between Goslar and its neighboring city. The fortified structure included a double gate with accompanying barracks.
We headed over to Goslar after learning of a celebration that was going on with live entertainment.
Goslar is a town in Germany's Harz Mountains. It's known for its medieval old town and half-timbered houses. Market Church St. Cosmas and Damian features 13th-century stained-glass windows. The 11th-century Imperial Palace has historic murals. South, Rammelsberg Mountain is home to silver and copper mines more than 1,000 years old. There is also a museum preserves underground waterwheels and a mine railway, which we will check to next time we visit the town.
Just like Bad Hazburg the town is quite intimate, the shops and restaurants are situated in one central location, there are several very good restaurants and pubs in town, the shops are very unique and worth checking out. There is a very large and entertaining clock in the middle of town, it beats the typical "cuckoo cuckoo clock" any day. Although the architecture itself is enough of a reason to venture through even the residential area of town, there are many things to see when visiting Goslar. This is a great town with a lot to offer, you won't be disappointed you stopped in for a visit.
Cheers!

Einfach toll diese alten Steine...🤣These old brics Like over 600 years old ...Strange 🤢🤢🤢you will Love it too...👽👽👽
medieval times probably weren't sweet, but surely seriously impressive
The building might look small from a distance but is huge standing next to it. Especially the thickness of the walls is impressive. This building truely lets you imagine how it was living here in the middle ages. The gateway is very nice and leads to a beautiful road.
Big, massive, and impressive! In the northeast of medieval Goslar stands "das Breite Tor", an unmissable remnant of the late medieval fortifications. This "Breite Tor" was the most important and best fortified city gate of Goslar, because from here the road to Braunschweig (with which Goslar was at war in the late Middle Ages). The fortification consisted of a double gate with a barracks. Of the outer gate only the Rieslingsturm is still standing, of the inner gate the Brieger Turm and the Breite Tor remain, and on the other side of the street is the Wederhof barracks. The ensemble of "das Breite Tor" is definitely one of the most beautiful and impressive city gates from the late Middle Ages. Well worth a visit!
Uniqe place to visit in Goslar. Its a historic place where you can find an old gate from more than a hundred years ago. Just stroll along this area, its not far from Altstadt and you can find many half timbered houses.
Impressive remains of city fortification.
Fantastic building. Be sure to see the two towers.

The Mönchehaus Museum Goslar - Verein zur Förderung moderner Kunst e. V. is a cultural gem nestled in the historic old town of Goslar, housed in a charming half-timbered farmhouse dating back to 1528.
Tucked away in the pretty medieval town of Goslar, on the edge of the Harz mountains, is this fantastic gallery. Adorning the walls of its three floors, are dedicated works by the cream of contemporary (post-War) artists, brought together by an internationally-esteemed annual prize, the "Kaiserring", paradoxically all the more coveted for not having a big cash value. The honour of being awarded the famous ring, specially made on each occasion out of gold and aquamarine, is enough.
There are works outside, too, including a room in a rough outbuilding of wood and stone, containing a memorably haunting piece by one of the winners, Anselm Kiefer.
A captivating and rewarding place to visit.
Christopher T — Google review
Pleasantly surprised by Mönchehaus Museum Goslar. Inside the very traditional city of Goslar the only and yet nice place for contemporary art. Encountered Ansel Kiefer’s work how I like it best, side specific, in a dark intense somewhat creepy basement of a side-building. These 3 installations alone are worth the visit.
Amazing museum and hidden gem of Harz
Wonderful little museum near the heart of Goslar. The building has character, and the art is enjoyable to look at. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in town.
I'm not a modern art person, so I can't comment so much about it. It is a nice place for sure. But I'm writing my reviews for the lady at the reception. She was very sweet and friendly.
this is an amazing art! I took this photo 6 years ago when I was leraning Deutsch. We were on the tour from my Deutschkurs. So much interesting arts here
An interesting collection of photos/art taken around the world on display.

Okertalsperre is a man-made dam and lake surrounded by picturesque hiking trails through beech forests. Visitors can enjoy boating and swimming in the artificial lake while taking in the natural beauty of the area. The site offers free parking and a kiosk for snacks and ice cream. While some parts of the area may be overgrown, there are still plenty of nature-rich walking paths to explore away from the water's edge.
Hi all 👋🏻
Cool place, beautiful nature, incredible dam, about 50 metres drop (if I remember correctly) - impressive. There are trails for not difficult and not long hiking to see from the heights.
Overall romantic at sunset.
Мария Б — Google review
Nice for a quick stop. Free parking. Nice to walk over the dam. Quite a difference in height on both sides. Weird that there's a pretty nice building on site which looks like once was a restaurant of some kind and now it's closed and they've placed food trucks and portable toilets in front of it. Why not make (re)use of what's already there? Little trail going down was completely overgrown and inaccessible.
What an amazing place! Love mother Nature!
Keep clean!
You can walk with the water on one side and road on the other side. There are also nature rich walking ways away from the water. Great for a day in nature.
Very unique place. Its so Deep, that its hard to grasp
Very pretty place!
Worth stopping to see the dam if you are driving past.
Great walks and parking. Amazing views.

Pretty nice trail, pity that a big part of it goes past the highway, but there are some pleasant spots near the water for a little sit down. It's really a walk rather than a hike. We did the whole trail at a leisurely pace with a kid, small baby and a small dog in about two hours, with a break in the middle to enjoy the scenery.
This an amazing walk, but I wouldn't use a pushchair. It's too steep and way too bumpy. Take a lift to the top instead and go to the nice cafe.
Wonderful hiking track and easy access with a kids buggy... Lots of options for a picknick, wonderful views and lakes along the way. It took us about 4-5 hours with two kids (age 1 and 3) and two longer stops. Absolutely recommendable
Great trial , not much in the woods, and a little long for kids
Fair prices and strict covid policy. The routes could be a bit more maintained and perhaps more variety.
Very lovely route with beautiful scenery. If you want to have a shorter route, take the ski elevator up the mountain, and then spiral down the route following the signs.
Amazing trail, well maintained with beautiful scenery and lakes.
Great for a family hike.

Amazing experience🫶 delicious, good portions and cozy restaurant✨
We just popped in for coffee, cakes, and ice creams - all so delicious! It's worth to try!
The place is nice, not so romantic but good for a calm dinner. They took really long for our food (one hour). We complain about it and one of the waitress was super disrespectful to me and my wife, in the other hand the other waitress apologized for the problem and also they compensated us with free desserts.
The food is not bad, is pretty good and well presented.
I would give the place another chance, at the end the food is good.
Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience at the restaurant.
Very long waiting time, 25 mins just to place an order.
Waiters unpolite and even disrespectful.
I witnessed a lady trying to get the drinks she had ordered 40 min earlier and the waiter couldn't care less about her complaints, she left frustrated and so did I.
Luckily there are other Cafes in the same square with far better service.
Will never come back.
Presentation is great but their flavors are very strong.
Ice delicacy! Yummy ~ 😋 The best in town!
This is a charming restaurant in a delightful and relaxed setting in the old town of Wernigerode near the famous Harz Mountains in Germany.
We had a delicious meal with excellent service from very friendly staff.
I would thoroughly recommend it, and it has the added advantage of being very close to the station for the narrow gauge Harz steam railway which takes you to the top of the Brocken mountain, immortalised in German literature for its witches and Walpurgisnacht.
I would give Zur Grünen Straße top rating!

The staff at OLYMPIA bei Niko und Ruben was extremely amiable, and the cuisine they served was incredibly delectable. The portions provided were quite generous, accompanied by a delightful sauce. While the restaurant is situated next to a road, there is minimal traffic passing by. Furthermore, the terrace boasted communal and sunlit tables. The food itself was remarkably tasty and epitomized authentic Greek flavors; it left customers yearning for future visits.
About once a year I go here when I visit my mum. I have the same dish every time - Gyrospfanne mit Metaxasauce. At my latest visit today the dish has been even better than all the visits before and I can say it has been one of the best meals I have ever had in my life! It was amazing! 🥰

The food was okay, definitely not 4,7 stars. It was really hot in the restaurant and it isn’t possible to pay with a non German card
Good food , very good
Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. Generous portions with a lovely sauce. We sat on the terrace out back, it is located next to an road, but barely anything drives by it. The terrace has shared and sunny tables.
Food was ok, but not great.

Weite Welt Goslar is a charming eatery located at the corner of Domero Rotes Eichhornchen hotel/restaurant on Goslar's market square. This rustic and whitewashed venue offers a diverse global menu, featuring dishes like flammkuchen and chili con carne. The establishment also boasts a specialty wine selection.
We can not thank Weite Welt Goslar enough for hosting a large group for drinks before dinner. Friendly, accommodating service with a smile, their Hugo Black cocktail is now a favourite! We were thrilled to find this lovely spot to sit and chat over cocktails and can not recommend them highly enough! Thank you so much Weite Welt Team, we'll be back next time!

On our holiday in the Harz mountains we had dinner in this restaurant twice and when we come back, we sure will visit it again. Both the food, wine and service were perfect. The food was delicious, we can really recommend the bio wine "sensired" and the hospitality of the owners was outstanding. They were very friendly and helped us with our questions. They even gave us the receipt of the delicious dinner! For sure we will make it back home in the Netherlands. Thanks again!
I went there for a wedding, so I can only rate the buffet and the staff which kept in the background and behind the bar.
The food was delicious, the texture was great, the taste perfect, but in terms of cost, I've got no clue.
It's a perfect Eventlocation, with great food and a nice atmosphere.
I'd think itd probably be great just for lunch or dinner.
The apple/celery soup was great, the white wine was great, service was very good... But my main course was very burned and the waiter couldn't really keep track.
I don't know... But I definitely won't be coming back
Ver pleasant atmosphere and decor, with tables well spaced. Very well prepared food and decent value.
Very expensive and menu not clear for foreigners (I had to pay extras with very high prices). We wait very long time our meals also... Disappointed.
Polite and good service, looks nice, bit pricey

Proximity is everything
For day 3, we bundled attractions like Gustav Adolf Stave Church and World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines and other places within a close range, so that the time it takes to travel between all of them is less than one hour. Combined with the average time people spend there, your day should take about 8 hours.

Gustav Adolf Stave Church, located in the old spa resort of Hahnenklee, is a remarkable medieval-style wooden church dating back to 1908. This Nordic-style stave church was constructed from spruce trunks and boasts elaborate carvings, an impressive organ, and a unique four-octave carillon. The interior is as magnificent as its breathtaking exterior, offering visitors a peaceful and beautiful place to explore.
Really unusual to see one of these outside of Norway. Built on the Norwegian style, it's well worth a visit to admire the craftsmanship, and you won't see another unless you go to Norway. It only cost euros to get in, and that's well worth it too. Take your time inside, and soak up the atmosphere...

I went there by taking M830 from Goslar Hbf. There is only one or two time each hour,and need to check the time in order not to wait for a long time.
The church is very beautiful and attractive. Very impressive. It’s worth visiting.
There is a hotel near the church is also quite beautiful.
This little church is seriously stunning! If you're into checking out the impressive woodworking skills that showcase the local architectural style, you're in for a treat. The folks running the place might not have been the friendliest, but we still had a good time during our quick visit.
Interesting church, not a style one would expect in Germany.
Very beautiful church. The unique thing about this church that's it is made of wood. If you came here you should definitely go inside. The enter price is 2 euro, which is really affordable. Inside it's beautiful as well. Just sit in the church for a while, it's a very peaceful place
One of beautiful churches I have seen
A beautifully preserved wooden church with unique Nordic architecture, full of charm and history. The peaceful surroundings make it a perfect spot to pause and admire the craftsmanship.
Absolutely gorgeous and very interesting history of this church. Entry is 2€ - if you like the organ you can book a tour as well. In case the main gate is closed walk up and around to the right to find the entrance.
There is parking available close by.

The World Heritage Rammelsberg ore mines, located in Goslar, is a significant attraction with a history dating back over 1000 years. The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1992. Visitors can explore the museum housed within the former silver mine, featuring exhibits on history and geology. Guided tours of the 18th-century shafts offer an immersive experience into the mining industry's past.
I had the train tour and the museum. The tour was just in German, but was done in a majestic way. The train is obviously the focal experience of the tour, but also how the life was underground and the tools used is explained wonderfully (also without knowing the language:)). The museum is in 3 buildings, the storage with the history is the main part, and the other 2 is more about the real machines. They all have English explanations.
Marco G — Google review
I took the train/ mine option and greatly enjoyed the ride and temperature change (it was hot outside). Although the tour was in German I was able to infer as it is a very visual and interactive tour. The tour guide was really good. Hard to believe what these workers had to go through to earn a living. Free parking nearby. Great tour,
An amazing experience I would highly recommend! It's rare to get to walk in the shoes and take the same mine train the miners took back in the day, deep into the depths of this mine and UNESCO World Heritage site. The rest of the museum and exhibitions are also interesting but the mine rail tour is a must!
Exiting tour of the mines.
Good museum part, but unfortunately most of it is in German.
Very impressive! It was for me the first time to visit a mine like this, it feels you go back in time! The groups weren't that big, so you could see a lot of the mine. It was quite cold, so wear warm clothes. The train underground was an amazing experience!
Very deceiving for such an emblematic place. It is still a quite impressive place full of history which is nice to see. I expected more...
First of all, there is no tour in English. For a UNESCO world heritage site, you will expect at least one tour in English.
For the museum part, it is interesting but everything is disorganised and it is not appealing. Some parts are only in German.
I hope one day, this place would be made more accessible for non-german speakers.
Recommend booking in advance for English tours.
I recently visited the Rammelsberg Ore Mines with my husband and had an incredible experience. We took the guided tour in English, called the Röder Stollen, led by Mr. Christian Etzrodt. He was super friendly and humorous, making the entire journey interesting and engaging. I really appreciate him going out of the way to add fun to the tour. It was an amazing and adventurous experience, and I highly recommend his tour. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful (she helped us choose the appropriate tour), as was the lovely lady at the shop. Overall, it was a fantastic visit! We really enjoyed the experience. Oh, yes! Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. You would need to walk a lot and climb steep steps. Would not recommend this tour to people with claustrophobia, nyctophobia, panic disorder, breathing issues, pregnancy, etc. It is colder and dark and might be a bit slippery.
P.S. I personally give bonus points for the "Stimmungsring" at the shop, haha

Great atmosphere, I always take visitors here to enjoy the view, but I find the food sub par and the service takes forever, even by German standards. The only thing I can actually recommend is the currywurst, this is a great dish with a fair portion for the price.
Tasty food, great view, wonderful location, but slow service.

Lovely decorated restaurant. Food was good and tasty. Some pieces of meat were a little on the dry side, but not a big deal. Drinks, especially softdrinks, are a bit too expensive in my opinion.
The Tartufo classic had nuts on it though it was not specified in the menu.
All in all can recommand
Wonderful old quirky building. The food is hearty German fare. Service very good.
Cozy atmosphere and food fairly OK(not fantastic)
No internet and staff’s children running around the restaurant was not good.
Very traditional. Good specials. Very fast service, so you’re out in half an hour.
Schnitzel wasn’t that good but the special was nice. Like the outdoor seating a lot.
A really nice place! It starts with the quirky old house which forces the restaurant owner to divide the space into several levels and cubicles, which creates a cosy atmosphere - one enjoys being here! The food is good traditional German fare, all ingredients are sourced locally. Add the friendly staff and you have a nice dinner experience.
excellent asparagus menu, lovely cobbled garden beside the stream running through the town
The meal was stiff with a cold center and the portion was very small for the price

I would give 10 stars out of 5 if I could!
Very good ambient, service was 100% delicious food a good menu with fair prices, but above all the personal are super friendly. 7+ stars.
Just arrived 5 past 21:00 and walked all the way from city center and got the message: kitchen closed 5 minutes ago even if restaurant closes 22:00. This is simply bad customer service. We only wanted to pizza for take-away. Unbelieveable way to serve customers...

Restaurant
Restaurant Ratsstuben is a charming eatery located in the heart of Goslar. The restaurant boasts a lovingly decorated interior with original Bavarian-style decor. It offers a delightful dining experience, combining traditional craftsmanship with historic ambiance. Visitors can expect fantastic food, featuring new and modern recipes that deliver wonderful flavors at fair prices.
Don't let yourself be misled by the looks of the exterior - not that it's that bad, but you wouldn't expect this class of food. We were so much surprised by the quality of the food, the creativity of the menu choices offered and the service (even though the waiter had to cover the entire restaurant on his own). We are definitely coming back!

Give this place a chance. Excellent food (meat and fish) and attentive service. Unfortunately, it is on the pricy side for this region. Vegan and vegetarian options on request.
By far the best restaurant in Hahnenklee! Excellent and very tasty high quality Meditteranean inspired meals. Nice atmosphere in the outdoor court yard. Dogs welcome.
Great food and service. I had the wild pork with potatoes and mushrooms. It was excellent cooked and very tasty. The service was really good, professional and friendly. The area of Hahnenklee is very beautiful contributing to the great experience.
Great food. Dear & wild boar.
Out of season (summer) showed up at 19.00 at an almost empty restaurant. The waiter did not want tell me they closed the kitchen early and told me they were fully booked.
Innovative and delicious cuisine at reasonable prices, loved it. Even though the one waiter who covered the entire restaurant appeared at times overwhelmed, it is a restaurant that I would certainly visit again when I am in town.
Fantastic food, new and modern recipes, wonderful taste. And all at a fair price.

Nestled in the charming Oberstadt of Goslar, Restaurant Bug A Boo is a delightful spot where you can savor refreshing drinks and indulge in traditional German cuisine. Known for its legendary half chickens, this cozy eatery features a rustic interior and an enchanting beer garden surrounding the Greif-Brunnen, making it an inviting place to relax. The menu boasts a variety of dishes including schnitzels, fresh salads, and seasonal specialties available daily from 5 PM onwards.
Great atmosphere, friendly service and good food. The chicken is what many people come here for, and rightfully so. It's a bit salty, but welcomed flavor, especially when you're pairing it with the chicken and not just eating the skin alone. Last time I went I tried the Jaegerschnitzel, and I will say, that was quite disappointing. The schnitzel wasn't quite crispy enough, the sauce was a under seasoned and didn't have much flavour, and the button mushrooms were small and not sliced (albeit plentiful), which took away from the presentation. I needed to add salt to this sauce, which was a strange juxtaposition to the salty chicken. My friend and I got the fries and croquettes for sides, the fries were mediocre, but the croquettes were good. Overall still 5/5 because you can't beat the atmosphere, and when I go back, which I definitely will, I'll just stick to the chicken.

(Translated by Google) Very delicious food.
Waiting times are okay – since everything is freshly made, it's more than acceptable.
Above all, the taste is worth it.
Minor drawbacks include the high noise level, as well as the infrequent arrival at the table when people arrive for drinks – but again, that was simply because the place was extremely busy.
Reservations are highly recommended, as the place is more than deserving of its busyness.

Sehr leckeres Essen.
Wartezeiten sind Ok - da alles frisch gemacht ist mehr als vertretbar.
Vor allen Dingen der Geschmack zahlt sich aus.
Kleine Minuspunkte durch eine hohe Lautstärke, wie auch seltenes zu Tisch kommen bei ankommenden Getränke wünschen - aber auch hier - das lag einfach daran, dass der Laden mehr als gut besucht war.
Reservierungen sind mehr als empfehlenswert , denn der Laden ist mehr als verdient gut besucht.
(Translated by Google) An insider tip that we're happy to share. A rustic element between a restaurant and a pub. Rustic decor, but with great attention to detail. Friendly staff with top-notch service and excellent food at very reasonable prices. Thanks to all the staff; it was a pleasure enjoying this ambiance. Unfortunately, we can only give it 5 stars.

Ein Geheimtipp den man gerne weitergeben kann. Eine urige Komponente zwischen Restaurant und Lokal. Urig eingerichtet , aber mit viel liebe zum Detail. Freundliche Mitarbeiter mit top Service und spitzenmäßigen Essen , zu sehr guten Preisen. Danke an alle Mitarbeiter , es war uns eine Freude dieses Ambiente zu genießen. Leider gehen nur 5 Sterne .
(Translated by Google) Everything was great. The staff was super friendly. Special requests are always welcome, if possible. The food is plentiful and delicious. We had a very comfortable seating. The price/performance ratio is good. However, it was very warm there, and some fresh air would have been nice. We'd happily go back anytime.

Alles prima. Personal super nett. Extra Wünsche, gehen immer. Wenn machbar. Das Essen ist sehr reichlich und lecker. Wir haben dort sehr gemütlich gesessen. Preis/ Leistung, passt. Allerdings ist es dort sehr warm gewesen und etwas frische Luft wäre toll. Trotzdem immer wieder gerne.
