Main attractions near Kaiserslautern train station

Known as ‘K-Town’ for its historical and current importance as a military base, this city on the edge of the Palatine Forest dates back to the 9th century. Now a hub for technical development, it’s home to universities of research, technology and communications. Heading from the station, visitors can be at the beautiful St.-Martins-Platz — the historical, cultural and gastronomic heart of the city — within a leisurely 15-minute walk. This route passes the 13th-century Stiftskirche (Collegiate Church), considered one of the most important late-Gothic churches in south-western Germany. Close to the church is Spinnrädl, a timber-frame building dating back to 1742 and the last one of its kind in the city.

St.-Martins-Platz is surrounded by handsome 18th-century and 19th-century houses, including one that accommodated Victor Hugo, Napoleon and King Ludwig I. Old plane trees shade the central fountain and pavement cafes, as well as the medieval church, originally a 14th-century Franciscan monastery, which dominates the square. The serene location, its surrounding streets and smaller squares offer a wide selection of traditional and contemporary cuisine options.

Continuing north on foot, past the modern Pfalztheater, and still under a 30-minute stroll from the station, the largest Japanese gardens in Europe beckon exploration. This exotic paradise is a unique place for some respite surrounded by nature. On Museumsplatz, to the east of the gardens, is the grand neo-Renaissance facade of the Pfalzgalerie. Visitors can venture inside to admire classical art and sculpture before heading back to Kaiserslautern train station.
