The city's landmarks are the impressive ensemble of St. Mary's Cathedral and St. Severi Church. They characterize the cityscape like hardly anything else. Another highlight is the famous Merchants' Bridge (Krämerbrücke). With a length of 120 meters and 32 houses, it is one of the longest completely built-up and inhabited bridges in Europe. After visiting this medieval monument, you can enjoy a tasting of regional chocolate at the Goldhelm chocolate factory. Another highlight: With the medieval buildings of the Old Synagogue, Mikveh and “Stone House”, the Jewish-Medieval Heritage has held the title of “UNESCO World Heritage Site” since September 2023.
And don't be surprised by the colorful hustle and bustle in the city: On June 14, Erfurt's largest city festival begins: the Krämerbrückenfest (Merchants' Bridge Festival).
