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 splendor is still visible today, especially in the Göttingen State and University Library and its Old Botanical Garden.
The city center 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.

Saarbrücken is the largest city in the German state, Saarland. Germany's border with France bounds Saarbrücken on the city's west side. The bulk of attractions, accommodations, and businesses are located along the river Saar, which gave the city its name.
One of its most iconic landmarks is the stone bridge over the river Saar, built in the 16th century. Nearby, you’ll see the Saarbrücken Castle, an imposing Baroque castle that now hosts the Historical Museum Saar. From the castle, cross the river to the right bank, where you can stroll around the historic old quarter of the city and visit the Old Town Hall.
When it comes to dining, Saarbrücken certainly will not disappoint. Since the city has frequently changed hands between France and Germany as borders were drawn and redrawn, the cuisine implements the best of both cultures. St. Johanner Markt is a lively area dotted with bars, restaurants, and bistros to experience the hearty fare of Saarland.
Saarbrücken offers plenty of ground transportation options to head east into Germany or west into France. FlixBus, Sindbad, and BlaBlaCarBus operate most intercity bus service from the city. Travelers can also access the efficient German rail network, Deutsche Bahn, for both short and long-haul train routes.
