Where to stay in Blumlage
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The Altstadt is the obvious base. Blumlage holds Celle's museums and its palace inside four square kilometres, so a room here puts the Bomann-Museum, the Kunstmuseum Celle and the Celle Palace within the same walk as the old-town streets. Everything worth walking to is here.
Guests who put St. Georg, the Alten Rathaus and the Celler Schützenmuseum on one day's list gain most from staying inside Blumlage/Altstadt rather than out in the wider town.

The Bomann-Museum, the Otto-Haesler-Museum and the Celler Garnison-Museum hold the district's account of itself, while the Langensalza-Denkmal and the Albrecht Thaer memorial stand for the names Celle chose to keep.
