What travelers say about Erfurt

5.0
Domplatz is Erfurt’s most iconic sights. It is framed by the majestic Erfurt Cathedral (Mariendom) and St. Severus Church, both sitting dramatically above the square atop the famous 70 stone steps known as the Domstufen. The light rain intentional slowed me down to look and reflect.
