Where to stay in Aldenburg
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Stay in the city, not here. Aldenburg records no hotels, no museums and no churches, so the practical answer is a room in Wilhelmshaven's centre, from which the borough is a short run by road. The Deutsches Marinemuseum and Nautimo are there. Bant and Heppens carry more for a visitor than Aldenburg does, and Störtebeker Park lies over in Altengroden.
