Let’s start off in the state capital, Erfurt, a beautiful city that dates back to prehistoric times. Hotel Krämerbrücke places you right in the middle of town, with views of half-timbered houses and the Instagrammable Merchants’ Bridge. Rooms have a crisp design and a homely feel, and downstairs you’ll find an excellent restaurant and bar. Alternatively, there is a huge selection of cafes, restaurants and bars within walking distance, plus a number of galleries, museums and shops.
