Cranach and Bach, Liszt and Strauss, Nietzsche and Feininger are among the many who have strolled down Weimar’s attractive streets and across its fine squares and spacious parks. Weimar’s classical attractions and Bauhaus Sites are mentioned in the UNESCO World heritage list. More than 3.5 million visitors come to Weimar every year to spend time in this charming town with its many cafés, welcoming bars and chic restaurants. And many of them enjoy the slower pace of life they find here.
