Haidplatz
One of the most beautiful squares in the old town, lined with the Goldenes Kreuz inn, tower houses, and the Justitia Fountain. In summer, its outdoor cafés are packed.
In the Middle Ages, Haidplatz hosted jousts and public gatherings. The Goldenes Kreuz inn once welcomed Emperor Charles V, who there met Barbara Blomberg, the mother of Don John of Austria. The Justitia Fountain in the center of the square dates to the 17th century. The surrounding lanes are dense with restaurants and pubs, and summer often brings open-air films and music events, making it a lovely spot to linger in the evening.
