Erfurt, Germany

Erfurt Germany

Erfurt is the capital of the German state of Thüringen. It was an important trading town during the Middle Ages, and has many beautiful old buildings and parks. The city centre is quite compact so walking is often the best way to explore the city. Much of Erfurt's charm is found in its narrow streets, many of which are pedestrianized, with their beautiful old houses, green areas and little bridges across the Gera River and the Stadtpark and the Nordpark on different sides of the city centre. The most important sites to see in Erfurt are: - Dom (Cathedral) and Severi Kirche (Church) both overlooking the Domplatz (main market square, location of the Christmas market in December as well as fairs throughout the year). - Krämerbrücke (Bridge with medieval houses, the most important landmark in Erfurt) - Fischmarkt with its Burgerhouses and town hall. - Augustinerkloster (monastery where Martin Luther lived), the main gate of the old university (third oldest German university, shut down in the 19th century and reopened in 1992) - Anger (Main Square, full of stores) with the old Post Office building. - Petersberg Citadel (a historical defence system and a great lookout over the city) - Old Synagogue Oldest surviving European Synagogue, today a museum that has an impressive collection of 14th century Jewish jewellery.
