Darmstadt 达姆施塔特


Darmstadt, Germany

This is a small city (160k pop), 26 miles south of Frankfurt am Main. One of the big attraction for me is their bathhouse, Jugendstilbad. However, I couldn’t go because I don’t have cash: they take cash and German bank card only. No credit card, no PayPal, no nothing. Only myself to blame.

How on earth one would go without local currency? Oh well, you find one here.

I decide that this trip I’m not going to exchange any euro, using credit card only. In the end, it works out fine, except Sesselbahn @ Boppard

Another miss is the Bismarck Tower, which is 2.5 miles south of the city center.


达姆施塔特是个16万人的小城; 艺术气息挺浓的. 除博物馆多, 还有 Artists Colony 艺术家园地, 是 Jugendstil ‘风华正茂’风格的中心. 和新艺术运动 Art Nouveau 有一比. 还有百年的浴池; 二战的残壁.

It’s about 15 minutes ride from Frankfurt to the Darmstadt Hbf main train station. Fares I paid
