In Halle's market square, opposite the Marktkirche, is a landmark Gothic bell tower. Also of note is the late Renaissance Marktschlösschen, home to a gallery and tourist information office.
The rebuilt Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Art Museum still reveals the splendour of the original palace in its courtroom and banquet hall. Paintings and sculptures range from 19th-century galleries to Symbolism, Expressionism and New Objectivity in the modern halls.
For musical history altogether more recent in tone, the Beatles Museum is within walking distance. Set in a grand Baroque residence on Alter Markt, the collection of memorabilia covers the 1960s lifespan of the Beatles and the Liverpudlian artists' solo careers with 3,500 exhibits: vintage posters, autographs, stamps, rare LPs, photos, magazines and souvenirs.
Beginning a motorhome rental in Halle means you're well-placed to see Giebichenstein Castle. The site is situated north of the city centre on a hill above the Saale River and dates back to 961. Inside the upper castle is a museum, whereas the lower court is home to the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design.
You'll find plenty of modern shopping nearby in the Trotha district. Driving eastwards, Stadtbezirk Ost is home to the Halloren chocolate factory, shop and visitors' centre. Why not have a look around Germany's oldest chocolate production line and the mouthwatering displays?
Other examples of local history include the Saline Museum, dedicated to the salt production corporation and its workers. There again, Halle's parks and gardens include the Botanical Garden of the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg and Reichardt's Garten, part of the Garden Dreams project and laid out as an English garden.
In addition, there's open green space at Peissnitz Island. You also shouldn't miss Pestalozzi Park, near the river and towards the southern neighbourhoods of Stadtbezirk Süd.
Leipzig-Halle is at the heart of a main metropolitan region, so when you start your motorhome rental, the nearest airport is only 19 kilometres away. More flights operate from the medium-sized airport of Altenburg-Nobitz, 66 kilometres distant. Other alternatives include Erfurt at 90 kilometres and Dresden.
In Halle, Parkplatz in Fährstrasse has four secluded spaces for camper vans. It's north of the city, near a bend on the River Saale and the Trotha district. Alternatively, Campingplatz Nordbad and Parking Uni Halle each have room for twenty vehicles, while Parkplatz Heidesee can accept ten.
While Halle has much on offer, you could also consider visiting the fifteenth-century city of Leipzig, a major cultural centre with fine Renaissance architecture. Popular attractions include the old town, market square, Leipzig Panometer and the Belantis amusement park with fun rides for all ages.
