Locations for your language-learning trip to Germany
Berlin
The Goethe-Institut is located in the Mitte district, a central area that is one of the coolest in the former East Berlin. This makes the perfect base for discovering the huge and varied array of different parts of the extraordinary capital city.
Dresden
The Goethe-Institut Dresden is located in a young and lively part of town, with the River Elbe and the baroque city centre within walking distance. Dresden has an abundant range of sights to see, including the Semperoper opera house, the Zwinger palace, the Frauenkirche church and a whole host of other worthwhile destinations.
Freiburg
Our institute in Freiburg, Germany’s greenest city, is located inside a park not far from the historic city centre. Although the city is on the smaller side, Freiburg still enjoys a lively atmosphere thanks to the large number of students living in town.
Schwäbisch Hall
Our institute in Schwäbisch Hall is located right in the centre of the small, picturesque city. This makes a useful staging post for diving back into the city’s history through to the Middle Ages. Schwäbisch Hall has a rich history and a plethora of traditional events to enjoy.
