Located in Lower Saxony, about 40 km northeast of Hanover. Celle is considered one of Germany's best-preserved half-timbered towns, with over 400 historic timber-framed houses spanning several centuries. The magnificent Celle Palace with its Baroque garden and Germany's oldest continuously operated theater is the cultural heart of the city. Its location on the edge of the Lüneburger Heide makes Celle the perfect starting point for heath excursions and cycling tours.
