You step off a tram into a square that still smells faintly of roasted coffee and rain on stone. Cobblestones click underfoot, church bells from Nikolaikirche mark the hour, and the audio guide prompts you to look up—there, the carved façade that has watched market days and mass movements. The route threads through a compact center: passages, a town hall tower, and a concert hall where orchestral history takes shape.
