Celle is a gem in the state of Lower Saxony, standing out as one of its most storied residence cities. For nearly 300 years, it was home to the dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg, serving as the governmental heart of the Guelphs' most prominent principality. Walking through Celle feels like stepping back in time, with its charming half-timbered houses lining cobblestone streets that whisper tales of history.
If you're a history buff or just someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, the Residence Museum is a must-visit. This museum offers a glimpse into the opulent lives of the dukes, with its grand halls and richly decorated rooms. You'll find that exploring Celle is more than just a walk through history; it's a vibrant experience where the past and present coexist harmoniously. Don't forget to check out the local cafes and boutiques—they add a modern twist to this historical city, making Celle an unforgettable destination.
