Located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Tübingen is a university city widely known for its veganism and eco-friendliness. Visiting Tübingen is a green experience in many ways, from the robust cycling infrastructure to the nearby Schönbuch forest. One of the most picturesque parts of the city is the Neckarinsel, a small, densely-treed island in the middle of the Neckar River. The city's old town quarter is excellently-preserved and makes for a perfect day strolling down cobblestoned lanes and narrow alleyways.
Over one-quarter of Tübingen's residents are students at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, and the city is decked out with cafés and pubs to serve this young population. Some of the local favorite spots include Gasthaus Bären, Restaurant Mauganeschtle Tübingen, and Aspendos Restaurant.

Located on the river Neckar in the southwest of Germany, the university town of Heidelberg is one of the country's most popular destinations. From impressive Baroque and Renaissance architecture to exciting museums, festive Christmas markets, and fantastic shopping, this town has something for everyone.
The first thing you'll see in Heidelberg is the Schloss Heidelberg or Heidelberg Palace. Sitting on a hill overlooking the city, this impressive castle was once the seat of Heidelberg's Prince-Electors. Although rebuilt following the Thirty Years War in the 1600s, this beautiful ruin is open to visitors with audio tours available daily. And as one of the most-Instagrammed castles in Germany, the palace is the perfect backdrop for your next envy-inspiring post. While in the castle, visit the Apotheken-Museum, which displays the history of pharmacies and medical science in Germany.
Heidelberg is also home to the famous hike, Philosopher's Way. Taking its name from the many university academics that used to hike this route for the solitude and views to inspire them, this route rambles up the southern side of the Heiligenberg. With exotic vegetation and a temperate climate during the summer months, it's easy to think that you've accidentally walked all the way to the Mediterranean.
Although Heidelberg does not have an airport, the Mannheim Airport is under 15km away, and it's easy to take a train from Mannheim to Heidelberg. Coach service provides transportation to Heidelberg from many domestic and international destinations. Many direct trains run to Heidelberg from across Germany and other European cities, too, so there is no shortage of travel options to get to this fabulous city.
