Gettingen (Gottingen) is a student city located in Lower Saxony, Germany, with a student population of over 30,000.
The city has over 130 thousand inhabitants, and almost every building in the city is more or less connected with the university. It is unusual for a city of this size to be such a significant university center. It is worth mentioning that more than 30 people who graduated from this university or conducted research there have been awarded the Nobel Prize!
Departing at our stop located at ZOB, am HBF - Berliner Str. 28, we find ourselves in the very center of the city. It is worth starting the sightseeing from the old town surrounded by medieval ramparts. In the very center under the building of the town hall we will find a fountain with a statue of the famous Goose, which according to tradition, each of the newly graduated doctors must kiss on the cheek. The passage will make us enjoy the ubiquitous view of beautiful architecture and half-timbered buildings. From here, it's just a few steps to Wilhelmplatz, where there used to be a detention center for students who participated in duels, smoked tobacco or got drunk. Unfortunately, over time it has become a tradition for every self-respecting student to end up in the detention center and experience the adventure that comes with it. Nowadays, the jail is open to the public and the square itself is a very popular place among students, where they meet to drink beer, sing, dance and have fun together. In addition to the picturesque architecture, the city has over 300 marble plaques commemorating Göttingen's most prominent scholars located in various places around the city. The city also offers plenty of restaurants and pubs, as well as several museums and a botanical garden.
Göttingen is the perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries, just let yourself be carried away by the peaceful rhythm of the city. Welcome aboard our buses!
