The old town of Fussen is located on the banks of the Lech River at the top of the Alps. Visitors to the old town can see, among others medieval streets, gothic defensive walls, city library, late gothic High Castle, or the baroque monastery complex of St. Magnus. It is worth going to Reichenstraße, where you can feel the Italian atmosphere in street cafes or shop with local suppliers.
The old town also hosts festivals, marches and fairs, including the winter Christmas market with a rich cultural program, the August birthday of the famous 'King of the Fairy' - Ludwig II Wittelsbach, or the medieval three-day 'Imperial Holiday', as well as numerous chamber music concerts and jazz evenings.
At 3 km from the city of Fussen are two famous castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.
