We transferred to another hotel for the last two nights due to a desire to spend an extra day in this magical city.
From this one to the below.
After a complete breakfast, we decided to climb to the top of the Town Hall Tower. It was a very narrow stair case with 214 tiny steps. The view was grandiose.

A quick stop for lunch.
After lunch we explored the city and visited the churches. The most intriguing was St Wolfgangs church. It is s fortified church which means it was built as part of the wall. You have windows for guns up stairs and dungeon like passages downstairs which were used during WW2 as a bomb shelter. It also has exhibits of the annual Shepherds Dance and many pictures of what the city looked like after the bombing.

To round out the day we decided to walk the wall.

Keep head low for a mile or so.
