Fascinating cities, magnificent castles, legendary fortresses and the famous Thuringian hospitality - this is what makes the region a paradise for its visitors.
Set right in the heart of Germany, this Thuringia has it all - from a beautiful countryside to colourful cities with a past as exciting as their present. Where else can you find such a wealth of culture in such a small area!
There are mighty fortresses, castles, monasteries and churches in cities full of history; such as the state capital Erfurt or Weimar, the city of literary classics and the famous Bauhaus Museum. Eisenach is the home of the Wartburg Castle and Jena, famous for precise optical equipment from Carl Zeiss AG, is known as a city of science.
Numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites are to be found everywhere and many famous people have left their traces in the cultural state of Thuringia, like the reformer Martin Luther, the composers Bach, Liszt and Wagner, as well as Germany's most important poets Goethe and Schiller.
Thuringia's wonderful countryside is also a paradise for walking and cycling and the state's renowned hospitality guarantees an unforgettable stay.
