Why Jena?

The 750-year-old university city of Jena, with a population of about 100,000, offers a very pleasant atmosphere for your stay, with its picturesque surroundings, its academic and cultural traditions, its world renowned industry (optics, pharmaceuticals), and, above all, the friendly community spirit and hospitality of its people. The nearby city of Weimar, cradle of German Classicism and site of the creation of the first democratic government in Germany after World War I, is an added attraction for those with a strong interest in German language, literature, history, and music.

Jena provides a wide variety of leisure activities to suit all tastes. Museums, the Botanical Gardens, hiking, cinemas, student clubs, concerts by the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra, and theater are only a small sample of what the city has to offer.
