We are very happy to be able to offer you a day trip to the city of Metzingen with the following programme:
Part 1: Guided City Tour
Enjoy a breathtaking journey through time up to the present during a city tour with an English-speaking guide:
As a city of contrasts Metzingen connects tradition with modernity. Here, historical heritage mixes with lifestyle. You will thus find awarded modern architecture in the outletcity as well as historic buildings in the old town.
Duration: 90 minutes (10.30 - 12.00 a.m.)
Part 2: Lunch together
After the city tour we will have lunch in the restaurant Almresi which offers alpine lifestyle and hearty alpine cuisine.
Due to the size of our group and the time (Saturday lunchtime) we needed to make a fixed reservation in advance including a special menu for our group with a variety of dishes to select from (vegetarian food included).
You will certainly understand that a short-notice cancellation of lunch will therefore not be possible.
So, if you sign up for this event, please be aware that you sign up for the full programme (city tour + lunch).
After having enjoyed Almresi’s creative cuisine the official programme will be over. But don’t be afraid, there will be a lot of time left after lunch to enjoy shopping till you drop in Metzingen’s famous outletcity as shops are open until 8.00 p.m.
Return to Tübingen is therefore on individual basis.
