GERMANY ~ Erfurt -

...Lovely views of the most beautiful cityscapes... a medieval hidden gem in central Germany... famous for its incredibly well-preserved old town, stunning timber-framed houses, cobblestone streets, and historic sites like the Erfurt Cathedral, St. Severus Church and the unique Merchants' Bridge lined with artisan shops and cafes... it's one of Europe's few remaining bridges of its kind... the Augustinian Monastery and the  Fish market square... all this making it a popular spot for history and culture seekers looking for an authentic, less-crowded German experience, highlighted for its rich heritage and charming atmosphere... Thanks Dustin!【ツ】

Erfurt is the capital city and largest city of the German state of Thuringia and lies in the wide valley of the River Gera. First mentioned in 742, it was a vital medieval trading city on the Via Regia, known as "Thuringian Rome" due to its many churches. The young Martin Luther studied at the university and lived as a monk in the Augustinian Monastery (now a museum).
