2025 Gottingen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Old Town of small city in Germany. There's one statue that PhD students need to "kiss" after they completed their study. That is their tradition. I was amazed when I heard about it. Like what in the world is that statue made of which make it deserve to get "kissed" 😵‍💫 My local friend told me about the story when we walked around this area. I visited this area twice, during fall and winter since my friend is studying here. The town is so quite filled with friendly people and also nice scene. This is the best city so far in my exploration of Germany. #passionpassport #germany #urbanexplorer #europe #mustvisit

#favouriteitinerary Göttingen’s historic charm and academic heritage make it a fascinating destination. Stroll through the Old Town, where half-timbered houses and medieval churches like St. Jacob’s Church and St. Michael’s Church showcase the city’s rich past. A highlight is the Botanical Garden, a peaceful retreat with diverse plant collections, originally established for the university. Don’t miss the famous Gänseliesel Fountain, a symbol of Göttingen’s student traditions.
