Advantages: Very convenient location Disadvantages: A little bit basic
In the golden age of rail travel, the railway hotels were giants of hospitality. You only have to see some of the fabulous railway hotels like the one at St Pancras or the Great Eastern at Liverpool Street (I think it has changed its name recently) to get a sense that there was a time when nothing but the best of architecture went into railway hotels. These were times when the railways represented a massive sense of hope and opportunity. Unfortunately these days the term 'convenient for the railway station' is often short-hand for 'shabby, run down and in a dodgy part of town'. Many years ago I remember a learned newspaper (probably The Sun or the Mirror) coining the phrase 'Have-it-away-days' for part-time prostitute housewives heading into the city to earn a bit of extra money in the hourly-rented hotels around the major London ...
Advantages: well-preserved and renovated city in the east of Germany Disadvantages: couldn't find any
Today I want to take you with me to Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia in the east of Germany. I got off the train at Erfurt on my way to East Saxony, put my baggage into a locker and spent three hours in the city.
On the square in front of the station the tourist sees the first attraction, a bratwurst stall. I?ve learnt that not all of you know what a bratwurst is (the Americans do thanks to the many German immigrants), so here is the explanation: a bratwurst is a long, thin, spicy grilled sausage, the Thuringian variety is known throughout Germany and I can tell you from my meat-eating days that it is indeed yummy.
I asked in the station where the tourist information office was and was directed to the Fischmarkt (Fish Market), there it is tucked behind the city hall. How to get to the Fischmarkt? Follow the rails of the tram! I ...
Advantages: Beautiful nemly renovated medivial city Disadvantages: none
Apart from being the capital of the state of "Thüringen" (Thuringia), Erfurt is right in the heart of the "Thüringer Wald" (Thuringian forrest). The city was founded around 742 and is one of the most beautiful cities in the former GDR (East Germany). With compliment to Ryanair you can fly there from London without any problems. Accommodation is genearlly quite cheap as there is a youth hostel (bookable via http://www.jugendherberge.de) or for the more demanding travellers a number of cheaper hotels, such as Ibis Hotel.
