As a unique imperial collegiate town with a history of over 1200 years, Herford used to be an important religious and cultural center. With its many churches worth seeing and the exciting history of the city, the Hanseatic city is still worth experiencing today.

Middle Ages meets modernity, that’s one of the slogans. Of course, this also means the modern museum of contemporary art:
MARTa
.

The architecturally interesting museum is now known throughout Germany not only because of its builder, the American star architect
Frank O. Gehry
but also because of its changing, top-class and sometimes extravagant exhibitions.

The museum is just under a 15-minute walk from the hotel.

On foot you can also reach the
Municipal Theater
the
Northwest German Philharmonic Orchestra
or the
Capitol cinema center
.

For a special kind of relaxation, there is a fascinating sauna area in the
H2O
, the 3500sqm large fun and leisure pool, which is only 1,5 km away from our house.

Nightlife enthusiasts can reach Herford’s large-scale discotheque GoParc in about 10 minutes on foot.

Of course, Herford always comes up with interesting events, such as the Jazz-Time in spring, the Hoeker-Fest in summer or the Christmas Light in winter.

Information about current events can be found in the
Calendar of events of the city of Herford
