Darmstadt

Darmstadt is a city of contrasts. It’s home to the world’s oldest technical university, but also some of the most beautiful art nouveau architecture in Germany. It’s a city that’s both old and new, with a history that stretches back to the 12th century, and a modern, high-tech business district. Darmstadt is a city of science and culture, of industry and art. It’s a city with something for everyone. The city centre is a pedestrian-friendly zone, with a lively mix of shops, restaurants and bars. The Hauptwache is a popular meeting place, and the Marktplatz is the perfect spot to people-watch on a summer evening. The Schloss is the city’s most famous landmark, and the Mathildenhöhe is a must-see for art lovers. There are also plenty of green spaces, including the Luisenpark
