In the News - Erfurt

The state capital of Thuringia, Germany can trace its existence back more than 1270 years of history and has a rough population of 200,000 inhabitants. Visit Erfurt and discover one of the best-preserved medieval city centers in the country. This City has attractive patrician town houses and lovingly reconstructed half-timbered buildings.

Some of Erfurt's most famous landmarks are St Mary's Cathedral, Church of St Severus, as well as the Merchants' Bridge (Krämerbrücke). The bridge is 131 yards long and with 32 houses along its course, it is the longest inhabited bridge in Europe. Above Cathedral Square on Petersberg Hill towers the only extensively preserved Baroque city fortress in the whole of Central Europe, which can be visited on a guided tour.

As the center of Thuringia's economic, intellectual, cultural and political life, the city has always attracted great personalities, such as Luther, Goethe, Schiller, Bach and Liszt. Buildings in Erfurt still commemorate them today, like the Augustinian Monastery and the Imperial Hall

Erfurt is a member of the Working Group for "Barrier-Free Travel Destinations in Germany", an association of cities and tourist regions dedicated to barrier-free tourism in Germany. If you are like me and just hearing about "barrier-free tourism", it is a program specifically designed for travelers with disabilities or limited mobility (this also includes families traveling with small children). The city offers a wide range of barrier-free programs which have been tested extensively for their suitability for guests with limited mobility or disabilities.

You can enjoy your stay in Erfurt in first-class hotels, country-style holiday flats or pensions. Enjoy your adventures in Erfurt!
