Experience Göttingen on a guided walking tour of the Old Town and learn what makes the city and its university so special. Along the way, you will learn about important milestones in the city's history and hear stories of famous figures who lived and worked in Göttingen.

The walking tour starts at Bahnhofsplatz, where one of the city's most unusual monuments awaits you. From there, you'll walk along the old city wall to one of Göttingen's most impressive Baroque buildings. Next, you will visit a place with an eventful past: first a monastery, then a school, and later the site where the university was to be founded.

After a short walk, a beautiful view of St. Johannis Church will open up before you. Just behind it, you will discover the Old Town Hall. In the market square in front of the Town Hall, you will encounter what is probably Göttingen's most famous “resident”: Gänseliesel, who is considered the most kissed woman in the world.

You will then continue past half-timbered houses to the university's auditorium, before the tour concludes with a view of the Stadthalle and the Deutsches Theatre. This is the perfect walk to get to know Göttingen in a concise, lively way, along with many of its stories.
