Link to image attributionGöttingen is a city in central Germany, and its highlight is the University of Göttingen, founded in 1737. The university was once the most-visited university in Europe. Its grand splendour is still visible today, especially in the Göttingen State and University Library and its Old Botanical Garden.
The city centre of Göttingen is another lovely spot to stroll around, with its many picturesque buildings and charming cobblestone streets. To explore the history and cultural significance of the city, check out the Göttingen City Museum. Make sure to stop in the marketplace in front of the Old Town Hall, too. In the corner of the square, you'll find Vierkirchenblick, a metal plate in the ground from which you can see the four most important churches in Göttingen.
Although Göttingen is relatively far from any of Germany's most significant cities, robust transportation still makes traveling there a breeze. Frequent Deutsche Bahn trains connect the city to Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Antwerp, and more. Intercity coaches operated by FlixBus and Sindbad offer additional ground travel at very affordable prices.

Karlsruhe is fondly referred to as the Fan-Shaped City. Even though it's at the northern edge of the Black Forest, Karlsruhe has some of the warmest weather in the country, so many visitors pick this city to experience a Mediterranean-inspired vacation in Germany. There are hundreds of fine museums, quirky galleries, and beautiful theatres in the area that are all worth checking out.
Karlsruhe is a hub for science and technology, but it has an artistic side, too. The ZKM is a unique art museum that displays contemporary video and audio installations in a former weapons factory. Hit up the Jakobus Theatre, Kammertheater Karlsruhe, or The Sandkorn Theatre for live music or theatrical performance.
Another can't-miss landmark is the Karlsruhe Palace, built in the 18th-century. Not only does the palace include stunning grounds and magnificent architecture, it also houses the Baden State Museum with exhibits about the region's history. Some of the best outdoor recreation sites are Badesee Epple, Rheinstrandbad Rappenwort, and Weingarten, offering blue waters for fishing, swimming, and sailing, respectively.
Karlsruhe is easy to reach from cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt on Deutsche Bahn trains. FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, Sindbad, Union Ivkoni, and Cazmatrans provide coach service to the city as well. The Karlsruhe/Baden Airport is not too far away, so you can travel to this warm destination from nearly anywhere.
