Places of interest in Göttingen
Göttingen’s picturesque Old Town and pedestrian precinct with many cultural highlights are only a short walk away. Revel in the Handel Festival held each year in early summer. Follow in the footsteps of Carl Friedrich Gauss and the famous Göttingen Seven. Discover the many marvels and delights of our city: Gothic churches, graceful old half-timbered houses which bear witness to the city’s commercial importance in the Middle Ages, cosy squares, carefree student life and of course the respected and world renowned George Augustus University. Visit Gänseliesel (the little goose girl), the “most kissed girl in the world”, in front of the historic Old Town Hall, and take in the panoramic view from the 16-storey New Town Hall. You’ll be delighted by Göttingen’s splendid location, in the valley of the Leine River, close to the Harz Mountains and on the Fairy-Tale Road of the Brothers Grimm, right in the heart of Germany.
