...If you are looking for an easy yet different weekend away from London, then Erfurt might be your answer. In short - stunning architecture, very friendly people, and good food and drink (you pay in Euros the equivalent of what you might pay in pounds in London.)

Don't rush to Weimar, just down the road - overrated, in my opinion, and a bit dull - Erfurt is the kind of place that you can spend time in and feel you never want to return from. (One puzzling observation - there are a curiously large number of shoe shops for a city this size... plus, they still have a Woolworth's store with pride of place on the main drag - something we haven't seen in the UK for over twenty years... and C and A is still, by the looks of it , the place...
