Erfurt
Erfurt is a beautiful and lively city in the heart of Germany. It’s the capital of Thuringia and full of charm, history, and culture. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or a longer trip, Erfurt is a great place to explore. If you're looking for a central place to stay in Erfurt, Leonardo offers two wonderful hotels: NYX Hotel Erfurt — a perfect mix of comfort and design, and Leonardo Hotel Erfurt City Center — ideal for budget-savvy travelers.
Get your bearings
Erfurt is located in central Germany, making it easy to reach by train, car, or plane. It has excellent rail connections to cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, and Munich, and even international links to places like Prague. The city itself is full of character — with cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and a charming medieval old town that feels like stepping back in time.
Don’t miss
There’s a lot to see in Erfurt. Don’t miss the stunning Erfurt Cathedral and the Church of St. Severus, standing proudly on a hill. Walk across the Krämerbrücke (Merchants’ Bridge), lined with houses and small shops — it’s one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. Explore the Augustinian Monastery where Martin Luther once lived, or relax in the peaceful Egapark gardens.
While you’re there
While you’re in town, try some local Thuringian sausage (Bratwurst) and sweet pastries. If you’re visiting in December, the Erfurt Christmas market is magical. In summer, join one of the many local festivals or markets in Erfurt’s Old Town. To get closer to nature, check out the Gera-Flutgraben — a peaceful, tree-lined path around the city center, perfect for walking. Erfurt has something special for everyone.
