Add a little Scandinavian flair to your German cultural experience when you develop and perfect your language skills with German course in Flensburg, one of Germany's northernmost harbor towns. Flensburg belonged to the Danish crown for 400 years, and you can still see the Danish influence in the town's colorful fishermen's houses, old market squares and bright yellow captains' yards. Spend an afternoon strolling the white beaches surrounding Glucksburg, a castle ripe for exploring surrounded by a sparkling lake. Learn about the city's maritime history by walk along the Kapitänsweg, which begins at the Harbour Museum and passes the unique Rum Museum of Germany. During the holiday season, be sure to check out Flensburg's lovely Christmas Market, a city-wide open air festival featuring handmade gifts and traditional German and Danish cuisine. Beer lovers should also taste the famous Flensburger Pilsener, nicknamed "Flens," during an evening at the pub. Aside from its uniquely bicultural atmosphere and maritime character, Flensburg has all the amenities and attractions you'd expect to find in an urban environment. Attend a show at the State Theatre or treat yourself to a night at the symphony. Shop and dine in the waterfront downtown district. Fall in love with this bustling seaside town when you begin or continue your language education at a German school in Flensburg.
