# Steyr city walk: experience the old town & history

City walks in Steyr - history on foot
=====================================

### Squares and perspectives. River and facades.

Where the Enns and Steyr rivers meet, a path through over a thousand years of the town's history begins. City walks in Steyr lead through narrow alleyways, past the Gothic Bummerlhaus, across the lively town square and up to the view from the church tower. Between town houses, courtyards and the greenery of Steyr's meadows, you can see how close culture and nature are in 360° Alpenland. Guided tours tell of the crafts, trade and people who have shaped Upper Austria. Those who walk here discover not only sights, but also connections - between the river landscape, architecture and the lifestyle of a city that naturally combines past and present.

Advent tours through Steyr
--------------------------

### Lights and silence. River and history.

When the smell of punch wafts through the streets of Steyr, Advent hikes combine culture and nature in the heart of Upper Austria. From the town square to the Christkindl pilgrimage church, paths lead along the Enns and Steyr rivers - past town houses, quiet banks and Christmas markets. In 360° Alpenland, Advent becomes a mindful walk through town, countryside and living traditions.
