Darmstadt has a reputation as a centre of science. Renowned centres and institutes have settled around the Technical University.

The city has become an international meeting place for musicians, including the Darmstadt Jazz Institute and the Jazz Forum. If you are interested in architecture, Darmstadt is also known as the centre of Art Nouveau and has left its mark on the city. Unfortunately, many buildings were destroyed by the war, so you only come across individual structures. For example, on Mathildenhöhe, where there was a well-known artists' colony.

The Residence Palace, which is also used by the university, is worth seeing. Darmstadt also has a lively nightlife and attracts night owls. Book an escort service if you are bored on your own. The ladies can show you their favourite places in this beautiful city. By the way, in summer there is always the Heinerfest, which attracts many people; in winter there is a wonderful Christmas market.
