The best thing I did in...
by Venturingnow
The best thing I did in Tubigen was relax. I was getting near to the end of my trip and I was really exhausted! I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the city and surrounding areas so much that I stayed for 2-1/2 days.. There were only two people in my whole youth hostel, and the city had virtually no tourists at all. The best part of the city is the river island that runs through the city. It's the perfect place to take a peaceful walk, eat a meal, or write up in your travelogue. Another great place in town was out of the center up in the hills. There are some trails for walking that no one seems to use. They lead you up and around the hills for some spectacular views.
Tübingen Marktplatz
by sniem
The Marktplatz with the beautiful Town Hall, it was built in 1435. The astronomical clock showing the sun and lunar phases by Johannes Stöffler was added in 1511. When the university celebrated its 400th anniversary in 1877 the beautiful facade was made. Sitting in a beergarden or cafe and enjoying the lively atmosphere
Marktplatz and Rathaus
by bugulma
The visually dominating City Hall was built with three stories in 1435, in 1508 heightened by a fourth level, and in 1511 decorated with an artfully made astronomical clock by Johannes Stöffler. The clock, which still functions, shows the course of the stars and the phases of the moon.
Hardly any places take credit/debit cards
by seoulgirl
There are hardly any places that take credit/debit cards and this is true throughout most of Germany. I have only been able to use mine at very large department/grocery stores. There are not many ATM's either (Geldautomats), only inside/outiside banks. So stock up on euro or you'll be searching and searching for an atm's especially in the middle of walking cities like Tubingen. They are only on the edges on main streets.
Eberhardsbrucke
by antistar
The busy Karlstrasse crosses the Neckar at Ebershardbrucke. Unlike some other medieval towns Tubingen doesn't have anything in the way of impressive old bridges, but the Eberhardsbrucke makes up for that in terms of views, if not much to look at itself. From here you can continue north to the town, or take a step down to the Platanenallee to the east, and walk along the artificial island in the Neckar.
