Caption: While we didn't have very long to explore the whole city, we managed to hit some of the main highlights, like Erfurt's famous chocolate shop, Goldhelm Schokolade. I highly recommend visiting both their ice cream shop located on the Merchant's Bridge, as well as their nearby dedicated chocolate shop for some cake and truffles.
