First time in Arndtadt: it's a beautiful well-preserved historical city immersed in the green. The central location of the hotel Stadthaus puts you in the heart of the city while somehow maintaining a serene, cozy atmosphere that feels like a peaceful retreat. The rooms are beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed, with extremely comfortable beds. We lived the attentive and friendly staff, and the genuine warmth and personal hospitality of the owners, who treat each guest like a welcome friend rather than just another visitor. The breakfast with fresh locally-sourced high-quality ingredients was a delicious experience as well.. We are planning our return visit before we've even checked out!

The location is very calm and the scenery magnificent. At our arrival, we received an upgrade for no extra cost. The hotel is brand new, as was the room. It was spacious, very modern, cosy and spotlessly clean, as the rest of the hotel. The personnel was very accommodating, friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food and service was just excellent. Breakfast next morning, served at the time of your choice and at your table, so no annoying buffet, frankly couldn't be topped. Value for money - top. I would not hesitate one second recommending this locations to anyone.

Erfurt is an absolute hidden gem—the perfect city for an unforgettable birthday! 🌟 I recently visited Erfurt from September 8 to 10 to celebrate my birthday, and I completely fell in love with the city. It is stunningly beautiful, with so much charm, history, and a warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. For my birthday dinner, we went to an Indian restaurant in the city, and it turned out to be the icing on the cake! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors, but what touched my heart the most was the staff. They went out of their way to surprise me with a birthday cupcake and a candle so I could make a wish. From the gorgeous city streets and breathtaking views to the incredible hospitality everywhere we went, my birthday trip to Erfurt was truly magical and will hold a special place in my heart forever. I cannot wait to return!

Weimar is a small town with a rich history.

Weimar is a small town with a rich history. With an interest in literature and/or Bauhaus, it is definitely worth a 2-3 day visit. All sights are in walkable distance from each other. Typical highlights include Bauhaus Museum, Goethe Museum and Anna Amalia Library. A real discovery is the Museum Neues Weimar which is modern and welcoming and gives a great overview of Weimar's role for the Bauhaus and new design and architecture. With a little extra time you can spend some time in bookbinding! Try traditional Thuringia food like Bratwurst, "Klöße" dumplings, Rouladen - with local beer or white wine. The people - in museums, hotel, restaurants, shops - were exceptionally friendly. Visit some museums, wander about, go to the market and take a walk through Park an der Ilm with Goethe's Garden House.

A charming town packed with incredible history and nature!

A charming town packed with incredible history and nature!Eisenach is a hidden gem for history, music, and nature lovers. The town is highly walkable, making it incredibly easy to explore everything on foot. Visiting the Bach House and the Luther House feels like stepping back in time. Of course, the absolute highlight is the stunning Wartburg Castle overlooking the city, which offers breathtaking views. For nature enthusiasts, a hike through the mystical Dragon Gorge (Drachenschlucht), with its narrow moss-covered rock paths, is an unforgettable adventure. Food tip: You absolutely must try the perfect burgers at babi's DELI!!! They were delicious and a total highlight of the trip! It is a clean, peaceful, and beautiful destination that I highly recommend!

Oberhof is a lovely town in Thuringia, Germany, that caters well to tourists of all ages, with plenty to do throughout the year. It is best known as a winter destination, but we visited in summer and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For us, it was the perfect weekend recharge for two. We spent some time exploring the town and had an enjoyable lunch at Ánh Kim Asia Küche on our first day. Afterwards, we made the most of the facilities at the Schlossberghotel Oberhof, relaxing in the pool and sauna, having a drink at the bar, and enjoying a very nice dinner in the hotel restaurant, followed by breakfast the next morning. We then went for a hike around the Ohratalsperre, parking at and starting and finishing our walk from Gasthaus Zur Wegscheide. You can also enjoy a good traditional Landgasthof meal there after your hike. The Thuringian forests are beautiful, and Oberhof is a wonderful place for a relaxing and active weekend away.

Altenburg is a beautiful and unspoiled 'Residenz' town in Thuringia, with many buildings beautifully restored, others needing a lot of renovation/restoration. There was no war and no bombing in this part of Germany, so the town is essentially unspoiled, but needing investment and attention. The town is organized around the Palace, which is at the highest point overlooking the town. The Theater Cafe, across from the renovated theater, has excellent food, very friendly staff, and great value for money. Altogether, Altenburg represents great value for money.

I remained in Old Town since I was researching my grandfather's story and needed access to archives, the library, Palace and other historical locations and resources. There is so much rich history here and many of the buildings have plaques on them with historical details about the building. There was a decent variety and number of restaurants to choose from in Old Town, it felt very safe and people were very friendly.

Located in a valley, the city offers beautiful views to the surrounding mountains and is a good starting point to explore them. It is worth it to climb the Domberg, which overshadows the city until the Ottilienchapel, which offers a nice view over the city or even to the top that has a tower with a panoramic view of South Thuringia. The city itself is rather quiet and mostly elder people are to see. The downtown has some decent restaurant options, like the Greek restaurant Delphi or the fish restaurant "Gastmahl des Meeres". Via the nearby highway it is easy to explore nearby attractions.

We fell in love with Erfurt. Interesting city, love the old buildings - some quite ornate fronts. Lots of great restaurants. People we met were very helpful giving us directions when we got turned around. We had dinner at Willy's Bar (named for Willy Brandt a former Chancellor) and lunch at Ubersee overlooking the river near the Kramenbrucke.

It is a place to get to know J.W.v.Goethe and the time he lived in, especially in his residence, the attached museum and the Garden House which is located in the beautiful park along the river Ilm. The Bee Museum is worth to visit. Here you also can eat an deliciously prepared meal and home made cakes and ice cream.
