Merchant's Bridge

An old-fashioned bridge and street lined with pretty houses dating back to the Renaissance.

Reviewed By Centh L - Stockholm, Sweden

It was build 1325. That is the most impressive but that is not what you feel. It's houses and shops on the bridge with nothing special to see. To see the bridge october 17 from the outside was a dissapointment as it was a lot of Constructions ongoing.

Zitadelle Petersberg

Reviewed By ct-cruisers - Connecticut

While visiting Erfurt, I walked up to the Citadel from the Domplatz.
You walk through a gate and up a cobblestone street. Inside, there are several open areas that offer terrific views of Erfurt.
This is a cafe at the top as well with food and drink.

Interesting Jewish history in a very special building. I was told by a Historian that many years ago, while the building was being restored, valuable items were found buried underneath the building which nowadays are exhibited in the museum. Fascinating!

Evangelisches Augustinerkloster

Reviewed By Gary W - League City, Texas

Our 500th Anniversary of the Reformation tour group visited this site due to its historic significance in the life of Martin Luther. It is located adjacent to the Augustiner Church, itself worthy of a visit to see its recently restored primary stained glass window. The Augustinerkloster gives an excellent insight to the lives of monks during the time of Martin Luther.
