Oldenburg is a city in northwest Germany, located close to Bremen and the border with the Netherlands. The most iconic landmark is Schloss Oldenburg, a palace that, until recently, was the administrative centre of the city.

The Schlossgarten right outside the building is a lovely park for strolling along curved paths between ponds and foliage. Another notable point of interest is the Oldenburg State Theater, the oldest mainstream theatre in the city.
Near the city's university, the Pferdemarkt hosts a market with fresh produce, meats, breads, and other delicacies. The city is a popular destination for foodies, and some of the most popular restaurants include Ratskeller Oldenburg and Kleine Burg.

Jena is a German city famous for its rolling hills and a variety of wild orchids. One of the most iconic landmarks in the city is Stadtkirche Sankt Michael, or the Church of St. Michael. The church's magnificent Gothic architecture includes a tower that may have once seemed tall, but is now dwarfed by the neighbouring JenTower skyscraper. The cylindrical JenTower has an observation deck and restaurant on the top floor where you can get the best views of Jena.
Jena has a wealth of quirky museums that are not your average art or history museums. For example, the Optical Museum exhibits a wide range of glasses, microscopes, and cameras from various points in optics history. Planetarium Jena often runs laser astronomy shows, and the Phyletic Museum hosts a small but rich collection of natural history exhibits. Of course, you can always simply stroll in the Botanischer Garten, one of the oldest botanical gardens in Germany.
The central hub of intercity coach transportation in the city is the Jena Paradies Bus Station, right in the city's centre. Travel to Jena includes coach service on FlixBus, plus numerous train routes on the Deutsche Bahn network.
