Welcome at the University

Tour Through Tübingen

WOW!!! That was the first thought which ran through my mind upon seeing this breathtaking city. This place is like an ancient town which is busy with modern day city life. The buildings and architecture of this town is exquisite and you can spend hours just looking at everything. Just walking through the streets of Tübingen for the first time just leaves oneself in a state of awe and amazement.

The campus faculties and facilities are integrated into and is a part of the city. A place like Tübingen with all its beauty is motivation itself for us as foreigners to want to learn more about our surroundings here.

Through the city runs the beautiful Neckar River which divides the city into two. The city itself is not big and as you approach the heart of the city (the city hall), the streets become pedestrian streets and public motor vehicles are not allowed. There are many small streets and alleys which one can explore and in this place it is almost impossible to get lost.

The city of Tübingen is like something out of a fairy tale and the memories I have will last forever.
