The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Weimar, Thuringia
Weimar was quite the intellectual hotspot back in the day, with Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Bach, Liszt, Lucas Cranach and the Weimar School all spending time here. Goethe groupies will enjoy visiting his home, his tomb and the museum dedicated to him. If you’re in search of great food, visit during the Weimar Onion Market, held in October. (Just don’t forget your mints.)

Perched upon a hill to the south of Weimar in the middle of a spacious park with an orangery, pleasure garden and labyrinth lies Belvedere Castle, the former Baroque summer residence of the ducal family of Saxony-Weimar and Eisenach. Since 1923 the castle has been used as a museum of the arts and crafts dating back to the 18th century, featuring exquisite porcelain works once owned by Weimar’s ducal dynasty.

My first ever visit to a castle. Absolutely everything I imagined it would be and more. Very close to where we were staying. Beautiful artwork, very helpful staff, wonderful gardens. I will certainly be back in the next couple of years to spend more time on this beautiful place. Barb from Perth Western Australia

Before he passed away in 1805, Friedrich Schiller spent his last three years at this residence on Esplanade where he wrote his famous plays “The Bride of Messina” and “William Tell”. Today, Schiller’s original desk and bed are displayed in his former living quarters.

The Haus Hohe Pappeln, built in 1907/08, was the private residence of the Belgian architect and designer Henry van de Velde and his family. Van de Velde drafted the plans for the entire house down to the last detail. The result was an extraordinary Gesamtkunstwerk whose representative living area and garden can still be visited today.

Well worth a visit. Provides the forerunner to Bauhaus idea of complete house design. I went with Art Pursuits abroad and llved the idea of complet lifestyle design. Van de Velde and Weimar are a marriage made in heaven.
