And although it’s famous for Goethe, Schiller and the Bauhaus, Weimar has something for everyone - whether you’re an art and culture lover, night owl, sport enthusiast or gourmet. And all of this in downtown Weimar where nothing is further away than a ten-minute walk. You can look forward to visiting more than 20 museums, four cinemas, the Deutsches Nationaltheater, several small theatre venues, student clubs and concert events.

In the following, you’ll find a small selection of interesting places in Weimar which we strongly recommend discovering for yourself. Have fun!

Pubs, Cafés and Restaurants

If you think, Thuringians eat Bratwurst and potato dumplings only, you are completly wrong. Weimar offers a various number of restaurants with international cuisine. You can have a French evening with Coq au vin and Cidre, a chopstick fight at the sushi bar or traditional Turkish kebab. And who is looking to snack on something, can have a Curry- or a Bratwurst. The atmosphere of the cafés, pubs und bars ranges from "gemütlich" to stylish modern. A special place for students is the s140 Café close to the university.
