Considering the quaint charming streets of Gießen, it's recommended to rent small to medium-sized cars. Don't forget, manufactured by German brands such as BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen are esteemed for their quality and performance.

Traffic Rules and Speed Limits

Germany's infamous Autobahns do not have a formal speed limit, a contrast from the UK's speed restrictions. However, most city areas in Gießen, like in the UK, adhere to a speed limit of 50km/h. Remember to always respect pedestrian crossings, as in Germany, pedestrians have the right of way.

Mobility and Parking

Gießen is a compact city where everything is relatively close, hence, a rented car is a perfect choice. Note that some areas implement a "parking management system," requiring a fee during peak hours. Do ensure to observe the signs and don't hesitate to park your car at one of the larger parking facilities available around the city.

Exploring Gießen's Neighbourhoods and Cool Spots

Take the advantage of having a rental car to explore beyond the city centre. Some noteworthy destinations include the Museum of Hessian History for historical enthusiasts, the Botanical Garden of the University, and the Gießen municipal theatre, known locally as Stadttheater.

Unlike the British weather, Gießen experiences a more continental climate, with colder winters and warmer summers. The prime time to visit is in the late spring and early fall when the weather is temperate.
