Located in the state of Thuringia, Weimar has been home to many cultural legends in its time. It was voted the European Capital of Culture in 1999. Goethe, Schiller, Bach & even Nietsche have lived here at some stage, making it a town for pilgrimage from the artistic community members & intelligentsia across Europe.
It's a small town with a small town feel. Quite a nice alternative to the big town atmosphere that has been the key focus on my trip so far. But it another respect, it's a bit too sleepy, & the only site I was motivated to check out was Goethe's house. And that's it.
Buchenwald Concentration Camp is also located just outside the town, but I opted not to go. But Obama was here only a couple of months ago to visit the site.
