Was on a multiple day bicycling tour through Germany. Spent one whole day in Erfurt. Very pretty city and also (without planning) was there during the happening of a music festival. No entry fees which I absolutely loved and very good music and vibes. People dancing everywhere and also nice decorations. That trip made Erfurt one of my favorite cities in Germany.

Erfurt is a very safe city where you can move freely, even at night. If a place is crowded you should still pay attention to your belongings (phone etc.) but other than that there are rarely other crimes.
Posted: March 19, 2026Cute city but kinda boring there’s so many old people. Not much gays. I thought it was kinda small turns out it’s kinda big. You can relax here if you don’t like huge city hustles. It’s like cooldown town
Posted: February 7, 2026It's a very small student town with a lot of old people. There are very rare cases of nuisance which are reported. The city closes down by 7-8PM and it's pretty quiet afterwards. The public transport system is pretty good. Till midnight, it's very regular. After midnight, there is a tram every hour. I enjoy living in this small, quaint town.
Posted: May 17, 2025Erfurt is a beautiful medieval city in the heart of Germany. It‘s downtown is safe throughout the year, even on crowded Christmas market days. In the dark, unsafe city boroughs in the North and South should be avoided due to a higher crime rate.
