Markets and Festivals

Bustling streets and squares, fairground rides, stallholders trumpeting their wares and the stalls themselves groaning with delicious traditional delicacies:

During market days and festivals, Erfurt's old quarter fairly buzzes with cheer and good humour - and there are plenty of occasions to see this for yourself.

Enjoy the experience of medieval pageants, cheerful carnivals and great live music!
