Erfurt Thuringia is a picturesque city located three hours by car from Berlin. With over 200,000 people, the state capital straddles the Gera River. With many historical sites, this quiet destination is a perfect staycation for visitors looking for a Springtime getaway away from the bustle of Germany’s main metropolis.
The 2024 film version of Nosferatu has placed the Northern German municipality of Wismar, population 44,000, on the radar. The former Hanseatic League city with a Gothic Quarter, narrow cobblestone streets, towering cathedrals and shaded sky feels like a place where a vampire would reside.
Wismar is located on the Baltic Coast, a two and half hour drive from Berlin.
