Fodor's Expert Review Peterstrasse

This elegant street lies steps away from the site of the former city wall, and is of great historical interest. At No. 35–39, for example, is a replica of the baroque facade of the Beylingstift complex, built in 1751. The composer Johannes Brahms's former home, now a museum in his honor, is at No. 39. All the buildings in the area have been painstakingly designed to follow the style of the original buildings, thanks largely to nonprofit foundations.
