A Day in Series: Marburg!

Marburg is a cute old city with lots of 17th and 18th century "Hessische" architecture. This small university city was luckily almost untouched during the World War II and lays in the beautiful Lahn valley. Marburg also has the oldest Protestan university, The Philipps Universität , which gives Marburg a big population of students! This old city with young population is definitely worth to visit.

To reach the city you can either fly to Frankfurt and take a train there since Marburg is on the north of Frankfurt. To explore the city you can walk, since it is a very small and cute town or rent a bike/take the bus. Since it is an university city, the inhabitans are from all over the World. The language is hardly a problem in here, you can easily communicate with English and even Japanese or Mandarin! People are also super friendly and very helpful, which will make the experience even better. :)
