As the name would indicate, right across from the Hauptbahnhof.

Spectacular views from the hotel terrace. Or dine inside, feasting on dry-aged bison in the massive, lodge-like restaurant.

Impossible to miss. Just look for the giant windmill. (Which makes it easy to find even after a few drinks.)

Wellness retreat with various luxe treatments to cure what ails you.

Award-winning onsite gourmet fare is (almost!) too gorgeous to eat. Imaginative and definitely photo-worthy.

Watch the wild ducks from this picturesque spot surrounded by farmland in the lush Aue Forest.

Primo spot near it all – 20 mins from the airport and close to the Central Station (Europe’s largest!).

Contemporary yet cosy rooms keep your sheep count to a minimum.

As in-the-heart as it gets, right off a busy shopping street (busier once you get there!).

Set on a quiet street in the centre of town, mere steps to sights, bites and the train station.

Free WiFi is always a nice-to-have.

Biggies like Botanischer Garten Jena and Planetarium Jena are less than a 10-min stroll. (Get going!)
