For a city of its size (only about 60,000 people), Weimar has an unusually rich assortment of attractions due to its extremely important place in German history and culture. Goether, Schiller, Herder, Wieland and many others made it the cultural centre of the German enlightenment, Liszt and Wagner turned it into a centre of music, the Bauhaus group made it the centre of early 20th-century architecture and design, and the National Assembly proclaimed the first German republic there in 1919. For today's visitors, this means a large number of sites on a relatively small area that can all be easily visited on foot. From the sites constituing the Classical Weimar WH site, I visited Goethe's House, Schiller's House, the historic cemetery with the Prince's Tomb (including the tomb of Goethe and a tomb once thought to contain the remains of Schiller), the City Church (known as Herder Church), the City Castle and the Dowager's Palace (both just from the outside), and, as the absolute highlight, the Duchess Anna Amalia Library with its outstanding Rococo Hall (advance reservations required). I managed to see all of this in one day because most attractions are just a short walk from each other, but of course, one could easily spend several days there.
