2 Best Sights in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, Germany

Bautzen's main market square is actually two squares, the Hauptmarkt (Main Market) and the Fleischmarkt (Meat Market), separated by the yellow, baroque Rathaus. The current town hall dates from 1705, but there has been a town hall in this location since 1213. Bautzen's friendly tourist-information center, next door, has a great Bautzen-in-two-hours walking-tour map and an MP3 guide to the city.

The handsome, white High Renaissance town hall forms the backdrop for the Marktplatz's two statues.
