By accident we ended up in Erfurt rather than Weimar on our first visit, and did Weimer as a day trip. We have always returned to stay in Erfurt subsequently.
Your comment has solved my dilemma...i have 3 nights to stay solo in Germany before heading back to Frankfurt for flight back to us.. I'd be arriving in Erfurt on Saturday and was thinking this was probably going to be more 'down' time than i needed..assuming that a lot of things will be closed on Sunday..But a day trip to Weimar would be great!! Thank you thank you.
