Göttingen

Rich in tradition and young at the same time

Göttingen is a university town that has remained young at heart. Around 30,000 people with a thirst for knowledge study here every year at the various faculties, giving Göttingen its young flair. Therefore, you can look forward to an always lively city centre with a great gastronomic offer of stylish bars, cosy pubs and good restaurants.

But Göttingen is more: a popular shopping city (perfect for a girls’ weekend), a well-known festival city (including the International Handel Festival) and always a great destination for a day out. With medieval churches and half-timbered buildings, Göttingen also has a lot to offer those interested in architecture. And for those interested in culture, Göttingen attracts with a wide range of theatres, museums, galleries, collections and much more. The city of Göttingen participates with many cultural institutions in the “Kulturbonus Südniedersachsen” – take a look.

In addition, Göttingen’s botanical gardens are just two of the many “green” destinations worth visiting in and around Göttingen. The city forest with its game reserve also offers pure relaxation – here you can really switch off and let your soul dangle.

Or simply visit Göttingen during the pre-Christmas period. The famous Göttingen Old Town Christmas Market welcomes you from the end of November until the end of December.
