This page of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt guide contains a map of Oxenfurt and areas located west of the town. Our World Atlas marks, among others, noteworthy locations of Oxenfurt and its surroundings, as well as all signposts appearing in town and rural areas.

Oxenfurt: description

Oxenfurt is the second largest town in the game located southeast from Novigrad. The map above shows the city itself and a small territory East of it.

Not only will you find here all the merchants you could need but some side quests and valuable items as well. You can start exploring this territory even on low level (reaching level 10 is recommended). But watch out for quest-related enemies, they can require up to the 35th character level to beat them.

Oxenfurt: Most important places

1. Gate

When will try to enter the city, you will find the main gate to the city closed. To get inside you must show the proper pass to the guard - travel pass. It's the same document you show in all border outposts leading north. During the conversation the Thou shall not pass side quest will start. You can find its description on the side quests page in the Inn by the Crossroads (M2) chapter.

You can easily reach the city simply by swimming to the other side of the river and entering it through the Novigrad gate.

2. Vernon Roche's hideout

The hideout location won't be uncovered by checking the nearby notice board. You must personally get near the cave which is the entrance to the hideout. A short cutscene will start. After it you will talk with Roche who will describe his situation. Ves can be found here as well but you won't be able to talk to her immediately.

5. Inn

One of the more important places in the city. Here you will find innkeeper Stjepan with whom you can play gwent. He is one of the best players in Velen. By winning the duel you will complete the Gwent: playing innkeepers quest for which you will receive an unique card. You can trade with him as well. He has food, drinks and additional cards for your collection.

Oxenfurt: Important information

You can go to the city and its neighborhood on rather low experience level, around 10. You won't meet large groups of strong opponents here. However, watch out for monsters related to the witcher contracts, they are very strong and can require that your character is at least level 35.

If you don't have the pass (Thou Shalt Not Pass side quest) allowing you to walk through the gate, swim through the river. You can enter the city easily from the other side. There are no strong opponents in the river that could kill or even hurt you.

When you search for parts of witcher gear, you should go to the Ruins in the north-eastern part of the map (M8,3). There you will find Diagram: Enhanced Feline Armor.
