Brno is an energetic and friendly university city of about 400k people. Situated only 2.5 hours from Prague and 2 hours from Vienna, it’s easily accessed by train, bus or car. Get to know the quaint historic center and be sure to explore the surrounding neighborhoods.
Once an important part of the Holy Roman Empire, Nuremberg is an intriguing and bustling city only 2 hours north of the capital Munich. The site of 13 post-WWII military tribunals, Nuremberg has also played a large role in 20th century history.
These war criminals were tried on the same streets that once hosted Nazi propaganda rallies during Hitler’s reign just years before. Today, this well preserved city has a mix of transportation, technology, health and energy companies providing a diverse and thriving economy.
A small settlement from the 12th century, Maribor, Slovenia, has since been a battle ground between opposing empires and faiths. Shifting from Habsburg to German and later Yugoslavian control, Maribor and Slovenia finally regained sovereignty in 1991.
Throughout its tumultuous past, Maribor experienced periods of prosperity, most notably due to its strategic location on the Drava River and its wine production, dating back to the 14th century.
