Germany Hesse Darmstadt

Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt by Joachim S. Müller

Darmstadt holds the official title "City of Science" as it is a major centre of scientific institutions, universities, and high-technology companies. Darmstadt was the capital of an independent country (the Grand Duchy of Hesse) until 1871 and the capital of the German state of Hesse until 1945. It is due to its past as a capital city that it has many architectural testimonies of this period. Darmstadt has a rich tradition in modern architecture. After 1945 several "Meisterbauten" (Masterful Architectonic Creations) were built that set standards for modern architecture. These buildings still exist and are used for various public and private purposes.

Home to an array of museums, cultural monuments, and gardens, this vibrant city is a major industrial hub with a metropolitan charm.

I came across your website whilst planning an impromptu trip to Italy. Although we only booked hotels with you, I found your website a great help. We traveled by train and found Italian trains to be very good. The rooms we booked with you were all good. The locations were great. The hotel in Viareggio was a great treat. I would definitely recommend your site to anybody planning a trip. We will use it again .... Vietnam and Cambodia next!

My experience with RoutePerfect was better than I expected. The website was intuitive, the staff were extremely helpful and I can't think of a single bad experience with the RoutePerfect service. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were what we expected them to be, except one which was WAY better than expected. With your site, I was able to plan our honeymoon with ease, without any travel agents. I'm lead to believe that we got the best hotel prices as well and I was happy with what we paid. I managed to save a lot of money for shopping :) Our Italy trip was amazing, and exactly how we imagined.
