The Weimar City Guides answer the questions a visit here really turns on: which inn still shapes its Klöße by hand, how to fit Goethe, the Bauhaus and Buchenwald into two days when half the museums close on Monday or Tuesday, where the town drinks after dark and which trains reach Erfurt, Jena and the Wartburg. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Gasthaus Scharfe Ecke Weimar
Eisfeld, behind the Markt
The town’s benchmark for Klöße: the dumplings are shaped by hand each morning and arrive with roulade, roast pork or goose in season, or simply with gravy and red cabbage if you skip meat. Mains run about €15 to €22. From the food guide.
Liszt-Haus
Marienstraße, edge of Park an der Ilm
The rooms where Franz Liszt spent the summers of his last 17 years, kept as he left them, with his Bechstein grand and Beethoven’s death mask on the desk. Half an hour is enough. From the things to do guide.
Wartburg
Eisenach, 45 min to 1 hour by train
The hilltop castle where Luther put the New Testament into German. A guided tour leads through the Romanesque great hall to the room he worked in, while the courtyard and tower cost little. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Weimar
Day one: start on the Markt, see the Cranach altarpiece in the Herder Church, stroll through the Park an der Ilm to the Liszt-Haus and finish with dumplings at a Thuringian inn and a glass in a wine café. Day two: the Bauhaus-Museum and Museum Neues Weimar in the morning, then bus 6 up to the Buchenwald Memorial for the afternoon. For a rainy or slow day, take the 15-minute train to Erfurt, or stay in town for the Prehistory Museum, the indoor pool at Schwanseebad, a cheap canteen lunch and a gig in the Kasseturm cellar. Check the Monday and Tuesday closing days before you fix the order.
