There are numerous car parks available in the city center. Be sure to observe the 'Parkscheibe' (parking disc) rule. This allows for free parking for a specified period, usually indicated on signs.
A must-visit is the Achimer Windmill, a symbol of the city's agrarian past. Dating back to 1888, this heritage-listed building now operates as a museum. The Historical Museum Achim offers insights into the regional history, while nature lovers can enjoy the Baden Marsh Nature Preserve.
