Transportation;
As reported yesterday, walking is an excellent way of exploring and sightseeing in the old city parts of Gotha.
The main railway station (Bahnhof) is with walking distance of the downtown area. The station was half destroyed by bombing in 1945 and was rebuilt after the war. Gotha is connected by the Thuringian Railway to Erfurt and Leipzig in the east and to Frankfurt/Kassel in the west. The local trains to Eisenach in the west, Halle in the east (via Erfurt and Weimar) and Bad Langensalza in the north depart once an hour.
There is a wide network of trams throughout the city.
