We've compiled the best of the best in Speyer - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
Speyer's oldest beer garden, a 15-minute stroll through the gardens behind the cathedral, is a popular, leafy spot to pass the afternoon. There's a good selection of beer, and the portions of rustic, regional fare are enormous. There's a good selection of vegetarian choices too. If you're hungry, try one of the grilled steak dishes, served—rather nontraditionally—with fries.
Friendly service and fresh seasonal dishes make for an enjoyable dining experience in the town hall's vaulted cellar (dating from 1578). The frequently changing menu offers main courses such as Bachsaibling (brook trout) in a white wine sauce, and a selection of homemade ice creams.
