Tubingen is a traditional German university town and is around 30 km (19 miles) from Stuttgart. Around a third of all residents of the town are students! As well as the university, and all the cliches that bring with it, there are still plenty of other sights to view in the town. One of the main highlights is the Market Square and Town Hall. There’s also the Hohentubingen Castle and the historic Collegiate Church. There’s also the Nonnenhaus and Bebenhauser - two historic and beautiful houses in town. If you’re planning on leaving the town and exploring, Stuttgart is nearby, along with plenty of historic German villages. Check out 10 of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in the area.
