Cultural diversity and tourist highlights

With its cultural diversity, our region is well-suited to city trips and short holidays. Not only the towns, but also the rural areas, are a magnet for tourists. Visitors can go on the trail of German classical and Romanticist traditions in Jena, see the relics of royal life in Altenburg and Gera, and enjoy the East Thuringian landscape.
Theatres, museums and other sights tempt tourists to spend the day there, the events calendar is packed with highlights all year round, and the great outdoors beckons with trips on water and land and in the air.
