An ideal starting point is the interactive exhibition "UNESCO World Heritage" on the first floor of the Tourist Information Center at the historic market square. Here, you can discover the history of Hildesheim and its World Heritage sites in a vivid and engaging way. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an interactive city model that brings over 1.000 years of urban development to life. It's based on a scale model of the landscape, including all the buildings that exist today.

The exhibition is complemented by clear timelines that guide you through the most important stages of the city's history.
