Tübingen

The medieval city stretches along the Neckar River, featuring narrow streets, historic buildings, and the prominent Hohentübingen Castle on the hilltop.

The Eberhard Karls University, established in 1477, ranks among Central Europe's oldest educational institutions and continues to shape the city's development.

The city maintains a distinct academic character with one-third of its 90,000 residents being university students who participate in traditional boat races.

The central market square hosts regular farmers markets, offering regional products while the surrounding streets contain numerous bookstores and cafes.

The astronomical clock on the 1435 Town Hall displays intricate mechanisms that track celestial movements and remains functional after five centuries.
