City of Science or Centre of Culture? Darmstadt is both. Like almost no other city, it combines an appreciation of the arts with a passion for science and innovation. Darmstadt still has the charm of a royal capital – at the same time it is a modern city, a laboratory for cultural as well as scientific experiments. The journey started on the Mathildenhöhe – today UNESCO World Heritage – with the forming of the Artists' Colony, a group of artists whose exhibitions enjoyed worldwide recognition and who created a document of modern forms of construction and housing - starting point for modern industrial design.
Darmstadt combines its diverse culture with a variety of festivals and events and offers a large range of shopping and leisure opportunities.
It has a touch of Mediterranean flair, when already very early in the year, the bars and cafés in the city of Darmstadt put the chairs outside and the “Heiner” (as the Darmstädter call themselves) and guests of the city enjoy their coffee in the open air, wrapped in a blanket.
And that in front of the very special scenery of numerous cultural institutions and sights - from Landesmuseum, darmstadtium and Residential Palace, to the White Tower and Luisenplatz, city church and domed church "Sankt Ludwig" up to the State Theatre.
