Weekend in Landshut
How to spend 2 days in Landshut — a Friday-to-Sunday plan covering the highlights without the tourist-trap detours. Built from real attraction data.
Arrive and Settle In
Friday evening is for arriving, checking in, and getting oriented. Keep it simple — a short walk to get your bearings, then dinner near the hotel.
St. Martin's Church
Free 100m from centreGothic church with the tallest brick tower in the world (133m). Interior is plain but impressive—check the altarpiece and stained glass.
Tip: The tower climb costs €3 but gives a 360° view. Go on a clear morning for the best light. Skip if it’s raining—the steps get slippery.
Ländtorplatz Market
Free 200m from centreCentral square with a weekly farmer’s market on Saturdays. Sells local produce, cheeses, bread, and flowers. The surrounding arcades are historic.
Tip: Come by 9am for the best selection and to snag smoked fish from the stall on the south side. Bring cash—cards not accepted.
Friday dinner pick
The Main Sights
Saturday is your main sightseeing day. Start early to beat the crowds at the top attractions, then take the afternoon at a slower pace.
Isar Riverwalk
Free Open 24 hoursFlat, paved path along the River Isar stretching about 2km. Benches, birdlife, and views of the castle from below. Good for a stroll or bike ride.
Tip: Start at the Ländtorplatz end and walk towards the Auenfried cemetery—it’s quieter and you see old weirs. Keep an eye out for kingfishers in summer.
Burg Trausnitz Park
Free Open 24 hoursGreen area surrounding the castle with benches, trees, and paths. Great for a picnic or a quiet break from the old town.
Tip: Bring your own snacks—there’s no café on site. Early morning is best to avoid crowds and get clear photos of the castle.
Trausnitz Castle
0 Courtyard: daily 8am-8pm; museMedieval ducal castle on a hill, rebuilt in the 19th century. The courtyard and grounds are free, but the interior and art collection cost a few euros.
