In the centre of Wetzlar, the Best Western Hotel Wetzlar, Wetzlar, Germany, sits within a ten-minute walk of the old town, the cathedral, the train station and the events arena, with comfortable rooms and junior suites, free Wi-Fi, a TV and desk in every room, step-free rooms for guests with disabilities, an outdoor swimming pool right behind the hotel, and six air-conditioned meeting rooms full of daylight.
The old town, the cathedral and the river are all a short walk away, with the Leica camera factory and the arena close by. Wooded hills rise around the Lahn valley.
Wetzlar is a pretty, old town on the River Lahn, with steep lanes and timber-framed houses below a huge cathedral that was never finished. The young writer Goethe fell in love here, and the heartbreak inspired his famous novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. The town later became world-famous for making cameras and fine lenses, and its old lanes hide quiet courtyards. Paths along the river lead off into the green Lahn valley.
