One of the oldest cities in Germany, Speyer is a small but elegant town that's well worth a visit if you're interested in history. All the main attractions can easily be reached on foot, and highlights include the magnificent Speyer Cathedral, the well-preserved Jewish ritual bath, and the soaring Memorial Church. Visitors with kids will also want to check out the airplanes and fire engines at the Speyer Technik Museum. If you want to get a birds' eye view of the town, you can also climb to the top of the main city gate, which was built during the 13th century. Speyer
