- The Weser Renaissance style in everything from Church to Palace architecture
- Urban Villages, highly concentrated old-towns once surrounded by a wall
- Lower-Saxon half-timbered houses, and their distinctive brick and wood architecture

The Weser forms one of the most under-explored and amorphous regions in Germany. It offers a surprisingly large number of high-quality destinations that put it in contrast with the nearby Ruhr Valley and Lower Saxony. The river connected the heartland of Germany with the North Sea, and its history as a vital trade conduit is evident in every beautiful market square dotted along the entire length of the river. Start with the halftimbered alleys of Hannoverisch Münden, the halls of the ancient Monastery of Corvey, and follow the river north through Minden, Denmold, and up to the spectacular center of Bremen.
