Our walking tour of Erfurt today took us from Petersberg Citadel down to Cathedral Square, past the Town Hall, and finally to the medieval Merchants' Bridge. The Christmas market had brought the city to life – lights everywhere, music, and the aroma of mulled wine and baked goods. The festive atmosphere was truly infectious.
