Jena is best known as a city of innovation and education, home to one of Germany's premier universities, Friedrich Schiller University. With a blend of modernity and cultural heritage, Jena is a perfect destination for the tourist in search of something different.

Mobility and Transport

Jena is well connected by road, rail, and air. Jena has a well-organized transport system, but to freely explore the city and beyond at your own pace, renting a car is recommended.

Renting a car

If you value flexibility, independence, and convenience, renting a car will be your best bet. You'll find many car rental agencies at the airport, train stations, and some in the city center. While compact cars are often more than enough for city driving, an SUV or a similar vehicle might be more suitable for longer trips and for those who plan to go off the beaten path.

Parking

Parking in Jena is straightforward, with various parking lots and garages throughout the city. However, as in any city, it's important to read the parking signs carefully to avoid fines.

Attractions and Excursions

Jena has got plenty to offer! Don't miss out on the city's top-ranking attractions:

  • Jena's Historic City Center: Take a stroll and discover the city's mixture of tradition and modernity.
  • The Zeiss Planetarium: The world's oldest planetarium in operation.
  • Jen Tower: For a spectacular view of the city, visit the observation deck of this iconic tower.

For the explorers, beautiful towns such as Erfurt and Weimar are just a short drive away.

Driving in Jena

Like any other city in Germany, driving in Jena is regulated by a well-observed code of conduct. The standard speed limit varies from 50 km/h inside built-up areas to 100 km/h outside these areas. Remember, it's always important to pay attention to local speed limits, as they can change depending on the area and current traffic situations.

Climate and When to Visit

Jena has a temperate seasonal climate. While the city is a year-round destination, the best time to visit Jena would be from May to September, when the weather is typically nice and warm. During this period, visitors can enjoy different outdoor activities and festivals like the "Kulturarena" with concerts, theater, and cinema under the open sky.

Money Matters

The official currency in Jena, as in the rest of Germany, is the Euro. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always helpful to carry a small amount of cash, particularly when visiting smaller establishments or the local market.

Local People and Culture

Jenans are known to be friendly and welcoming to tourists. German is the predominant language, but English is also widely spoken, especially among the younger generation.
