Göttingen 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. Frequent Deutsche Bahn trains connect the city to Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Antwerp, and more. Intercity buses operated by FlixBus and Sindbad offer additional ground travel at very affordable prices.
