Introducing Jena

Innovative and avant-garde, Jena is a city that exudes modern metropolis vibes whilst preserving a traditional character. Nestled in the heart of Thuringia, this city has played a pivotal role in Germany's intellectual and cultural history.

Be struck by a stunning blend of old and new architecture. Take a stroll through cobblestone streets lined with ancient churches sitting alongside slick, shimmering skyscrapers. Jena's skyline is dominated by the iconic JenTower, a symbol of the city's forward-thinking spirit.

Jena's steeped in culture. With world-class museums and theatres such as Stadtmuseum and the Theaterhaus, you'll be in for some of the best German art and eclectic performances on offer – ranging from classic drama to cutting-edge experimental theatre. If you're looking to escape the city's frantic ways of life then the banks of the Saale River are a must-visit, offering plenty of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking and fishing.
