Göttingen – A City That Creates Knowledge

City travelers love the cosmopolitan atmosphere of this lively city, where students and international visitors shape the streetscape. The blend of tradition and modernity isn’t just found at the famous Georg-August University, but throughout Göttingen.

The Old Town charmingly blends the nostalgic atmosphere of a medieval merchant town with the vibrancy of a modern shopping hub. The lively side streets invite you to shop and browse, while cozy restaurants and quaint student bars invite you to stay out late into the night.

The cultural scene here is truly unique. Theaters, orchestras, museums, and exhibitions draw visitors with exciting events. Major events such as the International Handel Festival, the Soundcheck Festival of Contemporary Music, and the Literature Autumn bring world-famous stars as well as celebrated newcomers to Göttingen’s stages. We invite you to join us in discovering a vibrant city with a charming atmosphere.
