Another top thing to do in Weimar is pay a visit to the elegant Belvedere Castle.
Perched atop a hill in a park-like setting on the city's southern outskirts, the palace was built as a hunting lodge in the early 1700s before being remodeled as a palatial summer residence.
Now a charming museum chock-full of interesting artifacts, including artworks and weapons from this period of time - as well as especially attractive glass and porcelain collections - the property consists of a number of lovely gardens, the main palace building, and picturesque outbuildings, including the former stables with adjoining quarters for officers and their servants.
