When you go out to lunch in Oldenburg you want to have the perfect old world setting. A canal nearby, trees to provide the ideal shade canopy, bicyclists scooting past, and a Schloss next to your cafe to gaze at while you munch your pizza on the outside patio and browse for books at the bookstore. You can pose in front of the yellow palazzo with pink and red begonias where the dukes of Oldenburg presided whle the bell tower tolls the noon hour. You hop in your car and pretend it’s your carriage as your horses carry you away to the ball. It’s all picture perfect in downtown Oldenburg.
