Verden (All) is the district town of the district of Verden in the state Lower Saxony. In the northwest the Aller flows into the Weser. Even if the word "Verden" is not derived from horses, but from Ferdi in Saxonia, and refers to ford or ferry, the self-proclaimed "equestrian town" is the center of the German horse industry (breeding, trade and sport).

Tourist Attractions
- Old town - The old town stretches along the Aller between the town hall and the cathedral. That is between the cathedral and the Aller Fishing district, where most of the well-preserved historical buildings can be found. The John Lennon Memorial, erected in 2008, is also located here.
- Verden Cathedral - The Gothic cathedral is the symbol of the city. It was built in two phases, the first from 1290-1323, the second from 1473-1490. In a wall in the inner courtyard you can also find the "Stone Man", around which several legends are entwined.
- St. Johannis in Verden - The St. Johannis Church is one of the oldest brick buildings in Northern Germany. The construction of the stone church began in the middle of the 12th century. Initially, the building was a single-nave Romanesque church with the tower at the end in the west and a choir room in the east. Many Romanesque style elements have been preserved to this day.
Museums
- Canon House. The canon house, a stately courtyard from 1708, is only a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and houses the cultural and folkloric collections of the Verden city history.
- German Horse Museum. The connection between man and horse has centuries of tradition in Verden and the surrounding area. This is documented by the German Horse Museum. The focus of the collection is riding and driving equipment from different eras and cultures, models and smaller pewter figure dioramas, bronze sculptures and porcelain figures, illustrated books, graphics and paintings. It also offers two riding simulations.

This is where "Sotti's Bistro" is located (you should, however, like sports broadcasts), the cocktail bar "Variety" (perhaps the most delicious cocktails in town) and the bistro / pub "Vienna". In the fishing district (from the cathedral towards Aller) there is also the "Mais 12", somewhat hidden in the Nikolaistrasse the "Zü Palü". A little outside, at Siemensstrasse 14, is the "Dropstone dance hall" which, by Verden standards, comes closest to a disco.
