Hildesheim

This historic city was heavily damaged in the Second World War but is now restored to its former glory and features two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

About

The famous marketplace was restored in the 1980s and contains many eye-catching buildings, including the Butchers’ Guild Hall, a fine half-timbered building originally built in 1529. The façade is decorated in fabulous paintings and German proverbs and contains a museum and a restaurant. Equally outstanding is the UNESCO-listed ninth-century Romanesque Hildesheim Cathedral that still features the ancient bronze doors from 1015 and contains what is reputed to be the world’s oldest rose — a 1,000-year dogwood rose bush that grows on the wall of the cathedral apse. There is also an American influence on Hildesheim — the renovation of the beautiful Romanesque UNESCO-listed St. Michaels Church was funded by a New York businessman. In addition to the air of serenity that surrounds the church, there is the showpiece ornate ceiling dating back to the 1300s. Over 80% of the original Hildesheim was destroyed in the war thereby making this restoration of the past a true work of art.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
