In the very heart of the Rhine-Main region, lies a city modest in size, but with a multifaceted appeal. It offers everything that students from all over the world could wish for: a renowned university, international flair, a lively restaurant and bar scene as well as exclusive student housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to see in Darmstadt?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over 100 years ago Ernst Ludwig, the Grand Duke of Hesse, had the idea of attracting artists to build a colony in Darmstadt to breathe new life into the city\u2019s culture and commerce. The houses, studios and monuments of the colony were designed by the leading members of Germany\u2019s Jugendstil movement. Today, the Mathildenh\u00f6he is one of the most celebrated examples of Art Nouveau style in the country as it offers testimony to early modern architecture, urban planning and landscape design. The serial property is littered with amazing architectural elements such as the Wedding Tower, the Russian Chapel of St. Maria Magdalena or the Exhibition Hall. You can download a map of the area with all of its wonders right here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another pride of Darmstadt is a building complex Waldspirale which lies in the northern part of the city. It is an example of the revolutionary and colourful architecture of a famous Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This unique construction symbolizes a complex connection between humanity and nature. Its name \u201cWaldspirale\u201d refers not only to the general plan of the building but also to its green roof planted with a grove of lime, beech and maple trees. This twelve-storyed residential complex is distinguished by spiralling bands of texture, curved edges and unusual window design. The windows are so random that not two on the entire tower are the same. To really admire the uniqueness of Waldspirale, you should see it by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to de-stress?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Darmstadt\u2019s biggest and oldest park is the first go-to place to escape everyday life. Herrngarten dates back to the 1500s when three smaller parks were combined into one. In the late 17th century it was redesigned in the English style and 45 years later opened to the public. Nowadays Herrngarten is a favourite spot for students to hang out, have a picnic, barbecue or simply chill in the shade of trees. Just outside the city boundaries, there is another place that brings Darmstadt\u2019s residents closer to nature. Park Rosenh\u00f6he is an enchanting garden with a pleasant walking area and lots of blooming flowers of mesmerizing beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gorgeous oasis is a peaceful place to relax, breath in the fresh air and enjoy the warm rays of the sun. When you are there, take a stroll and look for the striking Lion\u2019s Gate, a picturesque teahouse with a golden roof, the Spanish Tower or the Herb Garden. Immerse yourself in the beauty of tranquil surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
