Car class recommendation

A compact car is ideal for exploring Göttingen city centre as it's easy to park, but if you're planning to experience the scenic routes surrounding the city, you might want to consider something larger, perhaps an SUV.

Speed Limits

Residential areas have a typical speed limit of 30 km/h whilst other urban areas are usually 50 km/h. On some parts of the German Autobahn, there's no official speed limit, which can be very different from driving in the UK, but do stay cautious and drive safely.

Travel highlights in and around Göttingen

Here are some must-visit attractions when driving around in your rental car.

Old Botanical Garden

Start your journey at the Old Botanical Garden. It's located right in the city centre, and parking is readily available nearby.

Göttingen University

Next, head to the prestigious University of Göttingen, one of the oldest and most respected universities in Germany. The university and the surrounding historic buildings make for excellent photo opportunities.

The Fairy Tale Road

For a magical journey, drive along The Fairy Tale Road. It's a scenic route starting from Hanau to Bremen, passing through Göttingen, hence a perfect excuse to explore the rich, cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes of Lower Saxony.

Parking in Göttingen

Göttingen has plenty of free and paid parking lots available. To avoid any parking fines, make sure to read the parking signs carefully as parking restrictions may apply.

Note on Currency

Germany uses the Euro (€), not the Pound (£). You'll need Euros for paying in most places, although major credit and debit cards are accepted.

Climate

Whilst Britain gets its fair share of rain, Göttingen enjoys a temperate seasonal climate. So be sure to check the weather before your trip and pack accordingly!

As you can see, there's a whole lot of exploring to be done in Göttingen. Happy driving!
