Capital of the Thuringia region, Erfurt is the closest city to the exact centre of Germany, and the Erfurt Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station which serves the city. From the station, the city centre is located north, and by renting a car from Erfurt Railway Station, you'll find that access to the centre is easy and quick.
The city's most famous citizen is perhaps Martin Luther, the monk, who attended university in Erfurt in 1501. The Stadtmuseum is the best place to visit in the city if you want to learn more about him and his role in religious history.
One highlight of any visit to Erfurt is the brilliantly named Angermuseum, named not after the emotion, but after its location in Anger Square. The Angermuseum is Erfurt's main art gallery and showcases some incredible modern art. Art lovers and general visitors to the city alike will find it fascinating to explore the Angermuseum, and by hiring a car in Erfurt you'll find it easy to access.
Those who are more interested in the history of the region and the people who have lived there, will want to visit the Museum of Popular Art and Cultural Anthropology located in the city.
