The Palatinate.
To the point.
In the middle of the Southern Palatinate. Between the Palatinate Forest and the Southern Wine Route. Between French lightness and German down-to-earthness. Between vineyards and orchards. This is Landau in the Palatinate. 47,000 people call it home. Open. Down-to-earth. Cordial. People know each other. People greet each other. We celebrate together. This is how community is created in passing. Landau is big enough for diversity. Small enough to meet each other. With heart instead of hustle and bustle.

Southern lifestyle.
Very close.
In Landau you will discover small wineries. Wine taverns. Cozy places. Meet people who live and work with passion. And excellent wine. And a cuisine that serves tradition with ease. The climate? Mild. Friendly. Almost southern. It brings almond blossom in spring and golden vines in fall. And evenings that belong outside. On the terrace, in the street café, in the vineyards. Landau in the Palatinate - the Tuscany of Germany? Clearly: Yes.

Urbanity.
In the right measure.
Landau in der Pfalz is not a metropolis. Fortunately. And yet we lack nothing here. Except perhaps the hustle and bustle. Cafés where we like to linger. Small stores full of great ideas. Markets where people know each other, greet each other and stop to chat. In summer, life flickers through the alleyways. Readings in courtyards. Small theater stages. Galleries that showcase regional artists. The events in Landau are lively. Diverse. Authentic.

History.

To touch.

The center of Landau is the old town.
A real piece of character.
Car-free. Manageable.
With a variety of sights.
Your footsteps echo gently on the cobblestones.
And you can feel the history in every alleyway.

Here an espresso on the town hall square.
There's a shop window that catches your eye.
And when you walk - across the town hall square, past an open window from which music is playing - you feel that you can simply be here.

Our city is old.
But anything but dusty.
Landau in der Pfalz is a city that has seen a lot.
And hides none of it.

Naturally green.
In the middle of the city.
What always stands out is the abundance of greenery. Parks such as the Goethe or Schiller Park invite you to take a deep breath. The zoo - one of the oldest in Rhineland-Palatinate - is a real highlight. Not just for families. Sit on a bench on the banks of the Queich. Have a coffee with a view of the collegiate church. Or take time for a walk through the fort - the former fortress area, now a park with a lot of history. Our city is green. Also in its way of thinking. Sustainable urban development. Renewable energies. Environmental protection. Landau in der Pfalz is growing. And remains in balance.

A vacation in Landau in der Pfalz invites you to discover. Over 2,000 kilometers of marked hiking trails. Vastness. Silence. Distant views. Or you can take the bike. Through vineyards. Small villages. And again and again: wine shops. A glass of wine. A piece of cheese. A conversation with the winemaker's family. A moment to pause. To enjoy. The Palatinate way of life.
