The city’s Renaissance Town Hall is one of the finest in Europe and it has therefore been listed as a part of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Böttcherstrasse, the street laid with bars, restaurants, art galleries and shops, is a fine representation of Art Nouveau. Universum Science Center, Schlachthof arts centre, ELZ–BLG-Forum and former power plant – the industrial host of theatre plays, concerts and parties, add a modern twist to the Hanseatic town.
