This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Burg Dankwarderode, the home of Henry the Lion. It is located near the Dom. We stayed outside because we are not so keen on art

Highlights: We saw the medieval building complex, which reminded me of Goslar. It is located on the Burgplatz near the Dom ✨
