Maximilianstraße
The most splendid main street of the old town, lined with merchant mansions and Renaissance bronze fountains. In the evening it's a hub for bars.
The street runs south from the town hall square to St. Ulrich's Church. In the Middle Ages it was a wine market and an imperial thoroughfare, and it is lined with noble residences such as the Fugger Houses and Schaezler Palace. Three Renaissance bronze fountains on the street (Augustus, Mercury and Hercules) are part of the Water Management System World Heritage site, and the Hercules Fountain is the most spectacular. The street is free to walk at any time, and cafés and bars are lively on summer evenings.
