From here it is easy to go for a walk around the city or for day trips around the region.

Historic walks and events

Historical excursions to Jena reveal the multi-layered history of the university and urban architecture: cathedral ensembles, old buildings, museum collections and cozy squares keep the traces of scientists and students of past centuries. Immersion into the past takes place through stories of cultural and scientific achievements, as well as through walks through centuries-old streets where each tower and facade tell its own story.

It is a personalized approach and deep knowledge of the city that provide sincere impressions and safe route planning, and excursions with a Russian-speaking guide will help you feel confident and relaxed.
