Know more about your day trip
Landshut sits about 25 miles (40 km) northeast of Munich Airport in Lower Bavaria. The drive takes around 30 to 40 minutes each way, making it the closest day trip option for travelers landing at Munich Airport with even half a day free to explore.
Three hours is enough to walk the Altstadt, visit St. Martin's Cathedral, climb up to Trausnitz Castle, and enjoy a meal in town. Travelers with deeper interest in the castle interiors and museums may want closer to four hours. Most highlights sit within easy walking distance, so you can move at an unhurried pace.
Yes. Compared with Munich or Nuremberg, Landshut sees far fewer visitors, so its medieval streets feel lived-in and authentic. The 500-meter Altstadt is regarded as one of the finest medieval streetscapes in Germany. Travelers who enjoy walkable, photogenic towns with a slower pace will find Landshut especially rewarding.
St. Martin's Cathedral with its record-holding brick tower, the 500-meter Altstadt street of painted Gothic and Renaissance houses, and Trausnitz Castle above the town are the three essentials. Inside the castle, look for the Narrentreppe (Fools' Staircase) with its painted commedia dell'arte figures, one of the most charming interiors in Bavaria.
Try classic Bavarian fare like Weisswurst, schnitzel, and pork roast with dumplings at one of the traditional inns along the Altstadt. Pair it with a local beer at a castle garden Biergarten when the weather allows. Coffee and cake at a Konditorei on the main street are a tradition worth honoring.
Landshut is one of Bavaria's best-preserved medieval cities, with a striking Altstadt, painted Renaissance arcaded houses, and Trausnitz Castle on the hill above. St. Martin's Cathedral has the tallest brick church tower in the world at 130.6 meters. The town is also famous for the Landshuter Hochzeit historical pageant.
The Landshuter Hochzeit is one of Europe's largest historical pageants, recreating the 1475 royal wedding of Duke George of Bavaria. It's held every four years (most recently 2025, next in 2029) and fills the streets with thousands of costumed participants, jousts, and medieval markets. Outside pageant years, the town still feels timelessly medieval.
Spring through early fall is the most pleasant time, with comfortable weather for walking the Altstadt and visiting Trausnitz Castle. December brings a charming Christmas market on the main street. Visit in summer 2029 if you want to catch the next Landshuter Hochzeit, when the town becomes a living medieval theater for several weeks.
