Living in Jena

A sophisticated cultural landscape, varied shopping and leisure facilities, short distances to work and a diversity of educational offers characterize the city centre of Jena. 

You will feel it clearly when you stroll on warm summer evenings across the historic market place: Living here is quite pleasant.
