Culture across the region
Neustadt is just one of a number of towns in the Rhineland-Palatinate region which plays host to the Summer of Culture. The street entertainment festival and events held at Neustadt Abbey are some of the cultural highlights you can enjoy in the town. Other important festivals across the region include the Nibelungs Festival in Worms and the Antiquity Festival in Trier. The Summer of Culture has something for everyone, whatever your age.

The town of Neustadt on the German Wine Route lies at the edge of the Palatinate Forest in a region which enjoys plenty of sunshine. The historic old town with its narrow, winding alleyways and medieval architecture, as well as its wine-producing tradition which is an integral part of Neustadt's culture, make this a charming and pleasant little town. Neustadt's most famous architectural landmark is the Gothic collegiate church, but the baroque town hall, the ruins of Wolfsburg Castle, the festival hall and Hambach Castle are also well worth a visit.

The Palatinate region has a great deal to offer lovers of culture. In almost every little wine village you will come across studios and craft workshops run by creative artists and artisans, where you can buy lovely pieces of artwork and handicrafts. There is a rich cultural scene in Neustadt itself, which includes the Summer of Culture, the Otto Dill Museum and drama productions on the open-air stage in Villa Böhm Park.
