Burgdorf is a model of historic town planning, with a feudal high town between the castle and the church mound, and a low town at the foot of the castle rock, where the tradesmen were based. Today the station district and historic centre with its intimate squares are popular places for shopping and strolling, for entertainment and all kinds of markets and culinary delights.
