Erfurt
The capital of Thuringia, with deck lives, cathedral, compact old town and base for Weimar or Thuringia.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Krämerbrücke
The Krämerbrücke is one of the most unusual places in Erfurt, with its inhabited houses and shops built directly on the bridge. We cross it almost like a street, before looking for the side views that really reveal its position above the water.
Heritage
Cathédrale d'Erfurt
The cathedral of Erfurt dominates a large square with the nearby Saint-Severe church, creating a monumental ensemble very strong. The climb of the steps, the portals and the Gothic interior give the visit a sense of progress that marks the route in the city.
Place
Citadelle de Petersberg
Petersberg's citadel offers a high point on Erfurt Between bastions, walls and views of the bell towers, the promenade helps to understand the city from its defence lines rather than from its shopping streets alone.
