Tips for your stay in a homestay
Information about homestay
Simply spend the night in a different way - this is possible through a homestay. This is a type of hospitality and accommodation in which you share the accommodation with the hosts. By taking a host family stay, you will get to know the culture of this up close. In contrast to the B&B, a meal or breakfast is not necessarily included here. Rather, it is about the usually somewhat longer experience with intercultural exchange. Experience a priceless, authentic overnight stay with local communities and thus contribute to a socially more sustainable tourism.

What activities are there to discover around homestay?
Probably the most common reason for visiting a homestay is that you can get to know the country and its people authentically and up close. So take the time to really get to know locals. Let yourself be inspired by other music, culture or thoughts and enter into mutual exchange. Activities that strengthen and further expand intercultural understanding should be at the top of your list; these are also the most fun. Take part in village festivals, dance and cooking classes or other local events. If the accommodation of your choice is in nature, you can also pursue exciting outdoor activities and do sports - what more could you want.
