Gera is a restored medieval city with vibrant cultural offerings and a rich history. It served as the former capital city of the Principality of Reuss-Gera for almost a century—from 1848 to 1918. The textile industry flourished in the mid-19th century, yielding lucrative growth and cumulative success for the city.
When the weather is fine, take a nature walk around the 30-hectare (74-acre) Hofwiesenpark to immerse yourself in lush green meadows, beautiful spring flowers, and tall shady trees. If you have a penchant for learning history, visit Stadtmuseum Gera, the city museum set in a distinct Baroque-architecture property dating back to 1739.
You will need a few days to feel like you’ve returned in time. And you can spend those days in the comfort of an amazing rental. Check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Gera, Germany, for accommodation options.
