Friendly atmosphere und exciting sights of interest

With a population of about 140,000, Darmstadt is a city without skyscrapers, urban motorways or extensive office and administration blocks. Instead, the city’s face is still characterized by its history as a residence of the grand dukes of Hesse, to which many urban features bear witness: the baroque castle in the city centre opposite the new science and congress centre, for example, or the old town hall built during the Renaissance or the large number of parks and small palaces around the town. The city boasts a remarkably friendly atmosphere in pleasant surroundings. A congress in Darmstadt means a congress in a compact and manageable environment with a wealth of leisure activities.

On the following pages, we would like to present a selection of Darmstadt's most interesting sights, that may be of interest for your social program around your event at the darmstadtium wissenschaft | kongresse (science | congresses).
