The modern Hauptbahnhof is just outside the town walls. From here, the main entrance into the old town is via the Königstor (King’s Gate), one of four remaining fat, round towers. In total, 71 of the original 130 defensive towers survived. Fine parts of the town wall can be seen at Frauengrabe, but the sections at the west of the town and below the Kaiserburg are even better. Behind the gate is the Handwerkerhof, a restored medieval-looking area selling mainly arts and crafts–see Shopping below for details.
