Well worth it

Jun 2023 • Couples

We had read about and seen pictures for years and the experience of visiting the town lived up to the hype. Every where you look there is a gorgeous 500 year old building or great view. We were lucky enough to be there during a Pride parade and were thrilled to see all the 100s (1000s?) Of participants and spectators. If you go, plan on spending 3-4 hours just exploring.

Antiquariat (second-hand bookshop) Heckenhauer - a Must-See for Hermann Hesse Fans

Dec 2017 • Friends

Holzmarkt 5: a second-hand bookshop like from a movie, overcrowded with old books and memorabilia from Hermann Hesse who was here as a young apprentice. It is not easy to find, outside are only a few books. To see the store you have to enter a narrow door then climb the stairs. It is one of the oldest shops of this type in Germany.

Beautiful

May 2018 • Couples

The old town is the picture postcard vision of Germany you hope for. Cobbled streets, timbered houses, interesting shops and cafes. There are a lot of twisting steep lanes and roads though, so bear that in mind. A nice break from the serious 19th century neoclassicism and post war architectural mistakes you see in some other parts of the town.

Spoilt Tübingen

Apr 2018 • Friends

It is a great shame that so much of this important University town is desecrated with graffiti. It is not only to the shame of the scribblers but also of the town leaders who have not invested in a cleaning up schedule. One hopes this will change!

Beautiful!

Oct 2017 • Family

The old town of Tubingen is a must-see. Wander the cobblestone streets admiring the architecture, then take a break at a cafe and people-watch while you relax.

Enjoy Tübingen

Sep 2017 • Solo

I can't recommend it enough! My favourite part of Tübingen is not in the attractions list but you must visit and chill at the Platenallee, it is a small island by the bridge which you have to cross when coming from the central station and going to the Old Town. All locals will be sitting there in a hot summer day. In fact, Tübingen is a quite warm city and has good weather while most of the German cities are used to grey and cloudy skies. Enjoy your time in Tübingen.

Beautiful old town

Sep 2019

Beautiful old town with plenty to see and do.

We happened to take in an International Festival that took place 11 to 15 September.

You can easily spend several hours if you decide to shop, or have a meal in one of the many restaurants.
