Must-Visit Places in Darmstadt
Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt
Hesse's regional museum, which is over a century old, includes a little bit of everything, from natural history to ancient archaeology to current painting. With such a large and diverse collection, what you see will be a personal preference, but there are a few exhibits that are universally appealing.
Mathildenhöhe
In 1899, Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse, had the notion of enticing artists to form a colony in Darmstadt in order to revitalize the city's culture and business. He enlisted the help of some of the most prominent members of Germany's Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) movement to create houses, studios, and monuments in a wave of construction that spanned 13 years and was separated into four shows.
Hochzeitsturm
The 50-metre-tall tower was built in 1908 to honour Ernst Ludwig's marriage to Princess Eleonore of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich. The Zimmer der Großherzogin (Room of the Grand Duchess), which may be booked for weddings, is the most opulent.
Schlossmuseum
The museum has been open to the public since 1924, six years after Ernst Ludwig abdicated in 1918 and handed up his family possessions. Silverware, gold, clothing, porcelain, tapestries, paintings, clocks, glassware, and furniture from the 1600s to the 1900s may be found in 15 magnificent rooms.
Museum Künstlerkolonie Darmstadt
The Ernst-Ludwig-Haus, designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich and intended for ateliers, was one of the Art Nouveau structures built in the inaugural exhibition. The exhibits of the museum tell the tale of Mathildenhöhe's Art Nouveau shows from 1899 to 1914. There are wonderful examples of applied arts created for such exhibitions, such as furniture sets, sculpture, glassware, ceramics, textiles, and metalwork.
Transportation in Darmstadt
Darmstadt's public transportation system is part of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) . Tariff area 40 includes Darmstadt and its vicinity. This area is further separated by zones designated 40xx, with Darmstadt city located in zone 4001. Fares vary according to the number of zones visited.
Tramlines are identified with single-digit numbers. The tram network stretches from Darmstadt-Arheilgen in the north to Darmstadt-Eberstadt in the south, with extensions to Seeheim-Jugenheim and Alsbach, and from Griesheim in the west to Darmstadt-Kranichstein in the northeast. The core network consists of lines 3, 5, 7/8, and 9. During rush hour, lines 1, 2, 4, and 6 supplement the core network. Line 6 is an express line that skips several of the intermediate stops on its way from Eberstadt to Merck.
Local bus lines are denoted by single or double letters. Main bus lines are identified by a single letter and frequently share route stops with trams throughout the city. During late hours, most tram and bus lines run every 30 minutes.
Overland lines to nearby towns and villages are identified by three- or four-digit numbers, or by two-digit numbers preceded by the letter K. The majority of these lines terminate at Hauptbahnhof and other stops along their route through the city.
It is also fairly simple to navigate around the city on a bicycle. Bicycle lanes are available on larger streets, and riding a bike is rather safe. It's a pleasant trip to Castle Frankenstein or the Grube Prinz von Hessen where you can swim.
