🇩🇪 Germany Travel Guide | One Day in Jena
🔸 Suggested Route: (see 📸) 📍 Must-Visit Spots ▪️ Flea Market 🛍️ Held ~monthly—check dates on jenakultur.de for markets & events! ▪️ Zeiss Planetarium 🌌 Free area: Tiny hallway with star charts (not worth it). Real highlight: Hourly shows (€12.50 / €11 student). Music shows cost €1 extra! 🎵 ▪️ Botanical Garden 🌿 Hours: 10:00-19:00 | €4 (Free for Uni Jena students). Our take: "Meh." We peeked through the fence + saw it from JenTower instead. ▪️ JenTower 🏙️ Hours: 10:00-22:00 | €4.50 for the viewing platform. Pro tip: Elevator to 27F → switch to 28F. Don’t exit at 26F (or you’ll restart from the lobby! 😅). ▪️ Phyletic Museum (Evolution Exhibit) 🦖 Hours: 10:00-16:00 | €1.50 (student price—steal!). Quirky bonus: Last room has a "seafood party" display (yes, really 🦀🎉). 💡 Insider Tips 🔹 Markets > Museums: Attractions are quick to see, so time your trip for a market day! 🔹 Train Hack: From Erfurt, get off at Jena West (closer to downtown than Paradies station). Always check navigation! 🚆 #Jena #GermanyTravel #DayTrip #HiddenGems #BudgetFriendly
