- Marktstraße (the painted old town street) — The heart of Bad Tölz: narrow cobbles, cafes and those famous Lüftlmalereien (painted facades) that make wandering the street feel like walking through a living postcard.
- Marktplatz & Altes Rathaus — The market square is where locals meet; the old town hall and surrounding buildings show off historic Bavarian town architecture and are a great spot for photos and people-watching.
- Stadtmuseum / Heimatmuseum Bad Tölz — Compact, local-history displays that explain the town’s spa tradition, everyday life, and regional costumes; useful if you want context for what you’re seeing around town.
- Kalvarienberg (Calvary Hill) and chapel circuit — A short climb up a tree-lined path with Stations of the Cross, small chapels and a real local-pilgrimage feel;

- Kalvarienberg (Calvary Hill) and chapel circuit — A short climb up a tree-lined path with Stations of the Cross, small chapels and a real local-pilgrimage feel; the hill also gives one of the best outlooks over the town and Isar valley.
- Kurpark and Kurpromenade — The spa gardens are peaceful and easy to stroll (Kneipp facilities and benches), and they reveal why Bad Tölz developed as a health town—good for a lazy hour or an afternoon picnic.
- Isar promenade and riverbanks (Isarauen) — Walk or bike along the river, watch swimmers and anglers, or just sit and listen to the Isar. The riverside meadows are perfect for a relaxed half-day outdoors without leaving the town.
- Stadtpfarrkirche (the parish church) — The town’s main church is worth popping into for its interior art and atmosphere; it anchors the religious and civic life you’ll see echoed across Bad Tölz.
- Historic spa villas and Kurhaus architecture — The grand villas and former spa buildings along the Kurpromenade tell the story of 19th-/early-20th-century spa culture—pleasing to stroll past even if you’re not checking in to a treatment.
- Weekly Markt (open-air market) — Local producers, cheeses, sausages, flowers and regional specialties show up on market days; great for cheap, authentic snacks and a real slice of daily life.
- Small artisan shops and bakeries in the Altstadt — Bad Tölz punches above its size for quality local food shops, traditional bakeries and craft stores; seek out a Konditorei for a Tölz-style coffee break and you’ll see why locals linger here.
