City Guide Erfurt
You are now in Erfurt or planning a trip?
We accompany you on various tours and trips through the city of Erfurt and Thuringia.
The representation of historial contexts as well as time to pause for questions is more
important than plenty of dry figures to us. You´ll discover famous sights and landmarks
and leave the trodden tourist paths to perceive the hidden that can´t be read in any travel guide.
Join me on a walking tour of Erfurt which is the ideal way to see the main city highlights
in one of the best preserved medieval city centres in Germany.
During this tour I will tell you all about the current and former business and cultural centre
of Thuringia in its more than 1270 years old history that attracted many famous people
such as Martin Luther, Bach, Goethe and Napoleon.
We will see the beautiful patrician and half timbered houses which line the main streets,
we can take a stroll along the pretty quaint alleys and narrow streets and you will also learn about
the local people going about their everyday lives, their churches and festivities.
The tours listed below can be customised to your specifications such as architecture,
religion, music, gastronomy e.g. - contact me with your request and we can fine tune your itinerary together !
