Tip

The Ilm Park is a popular place in Weimar where you can meet up with friends, do sports, study – or simply take a break from the daily routine and enjoy nature.

Weimar – Small but Beautiful

This charming city on the Ilm is a Mecca for design fans with a livelyart and culture scene. It also caters to those who enjoy pub-crawling, offers affordable rents, short distances and cretive student initiatives. Instead of going to a large nightclub, people here dance under canopies, build soapbox carts or organise literature festivals. Those who prefer to fly under the radar, however, have their work cut out for them. In Weimar, everyone knows everyone and you'll run into people you know all the time – yes, even your professors.

Beatriz:

“It's a very familiar city. When you go shopping, you meet at least ten people you know on the way to the supermarket. This can do a lot of good when you're feeling lonely. It's a place where networking works very well.”
