The Erfurt electric tramway, which has been making its way tirelessly around the city since 1894, has a special place in the affections of the locals. It seems to represent some aspects of the city itself: it just keeps on going, even through hard times; there is something metropolitan about it, only more relaxed, and it is always open to new challenges. A tour of Erfurt on this historical tramway will take you around the most important sights from the city's recent and more distant past. The beautifully preserved Jugendstil (art nouveau) areas of the city are especially worth a visit. A 30-minute stroll to the Merchants' Bridge rounds off this guided tour in style.
There is space for two wheelchairs (incl. electric) in the tram.
