Erfurt, Germany

Photography Tour in Erfurt

The best photos of Erfurt aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Erfurt is Thuringia's capital and one of Germany's best-kept secrets — a beautifully preserved medieval city with a stunning cathedral, a bridge lined with inhabited houses, and Martin Luther's university town.
