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.

Named for the river running through the town, Chemnitz is a cultural centre in Saxony, close to Germany's border with Czechia. The city was known as Karl-Marx-Stadt before German reunification, and an enormous bronze sculpture of Karl Marx's head reminds visitors of this legacy. Other notable structures in town include the Red Tower, a remnant of the city's 12-century walls, and the striking Altes Rathaus, or Old Town Hall. These two buildings are located close to the city centre, with many enticing restaurants and unique shops in between.
You can find even more of Chemnitz's unique architecture in the Kassberg neighbourhood, a residential area of 18th-century and 19th-century Art Nouveau buildings.
