If you speak German, the name might sound peculiar to you as the word "Darm" means "intestine" in German, though - as locals are quick to point out - the etymology of the name has nothing to do with intestines large or small.

The Darmstadt Marketing tourist office is located on the corner of the Luisenplatz. For those continuing their journey to Darmstadt by public transport, the Darmstadt Airport Shuttle bus service AirLiner is far more convenient than the train. Buy your ticket from the bus driver. The AirLiner stops at both terminals of the airport. Look for bay 14 across the street from terminal 1. At terminal 2 the stop is right in front of the terminal.

In the opposite direction the bus goes directly from the station to the airport. The freeways A5 and A67 go by to the eastern end of Darmstadt. Expect a traffic jam here in the morning. You can also reach Darmstadt via the B3 and B26 main roads. The B3 runs in north—south direction, connecting Darmstadt with Frankfurt in the north and Heidelberg in the south.

It runs largely parallel to the A5 freeway. The B26 runs east—west and is the main connection to Aschaffenburg. The inner city is a system of tunnels and one-way roads for passing traffic. This can be a bit confusing.

Darmstadt and its surroundings are designated as tariff area This area is further subdivided into several zones numbered 40xx, Darmstadt city is zone Fares vary depending on the number of zones touched. Tram lines are marked by single-digit numbers. Nearby is the Russian church that the Grand Duke built for his Russian wife. This part of Germany is very Catholic and so there are few Russian churches to be found!

Just a short walk from the tower are the remnants of the Jugendstill movement. There was an artist colony established here and 4 exhibitions were put on from , , , and There are a few sculptures on the hill overlooking the colony.

The museum had an exhibit on the Rosetta, a spacecraft that preformed a detailed study of a comet and completed a Mars fly by and was controlled in Darmstadt. One of our favorite finds here was the great art gallery they have. We had an amazing city guide Hey Georg! The castle was just your regular German castle until after World War II when American soldiers stationed nearby decided the castle made for a great place to throw a Halloween party.

This man-made lake is in the middle of the city. M and I spent a good hour at this park just hanging out. We wish we would have brought a picnic to share but just ran out of time. The city centre of Darmstadt is pedestrian which is fantastic for anyone that wants to walk around without having to dodge traffic.

There are lots of small shops, restaurants and coffee shops all over. The Luisenplatz was once the political center of the city and still is important, especially as a transportation interchange. The Ludwigsmuseum is the tower that stands in the middle.

I have a post planned that will be all about Hessen food but some of our favorite foods in Darmstadt were a complete variety of things. This hotel and restaurant looks like something that came out of the 19th century. But, the food was really excellent. The portions are HUGE so be prepared to eat a lot and plan accordingly! M and I both ordered chicken dishes but there is a wide variety of traditional, local foods on the menu.

I have to say this was my very favorite meal in Germany and I still think about it! This restaurant and beer garden was very close to where we were staying and in the evenings was constantly busy. If you want authentic German food and are seeking great beer — this is the place to go. Love ice cream? Then you have to stop here. They offer really unique flavors and can cater to just about every diet imaginable. Grab a sausage with the sauce of your choice, some bread on the side and a glass bottle of Coke.

What could be better? This was another international food choice. I ordered the bao Korean BBQ beef sandwich, and it was gigantic! M got a bowl of tofu soup with vegetables and chicken satay skewers while we split a spring roll. He then insisted we stay and have coffee and tea on the house. I swear there is nothing like Arabic hospitality. This little bakery is some of hidden in a residential neighborhood.
