Join me on a tour of Göttingen, the charming German university town I’ve been calling home for the past three months. 🚉 From the busy train and bus stations to the thousands of bicycles that fill the streets, this city is full of life and history.
We’ll explore the city center, stroll past fascinating science displays (including pieces from Mars! 🪐), and take a look at Göttingen’s deep academic roots—with nearly 50 Nobel Prizes linked to its university. Along the way, you’ll also see local markets, historic buildings spared from WWII, and the everyday rhythm of life here.
If you’re curious about German culture, student life, or just want a virtual walk through a unique European city, this video is for you! 🌍✨

Hi guys. So today I would like to show you around Gingan where I have been living for the past 3 months. This right here you can see uh it’s a train station called Bano and it’s operated by Deutsche DB. As you can see there’s this open space um in front of the station and whenever the university or any other organization holds an event or an exhibition it takes place right here. For example, you can see this art exhibition that someone set up. Also, look at these bicycles. Yeah, people here use bikes away way more than cars. And I would say at least a couple thousand of them. There’s also a bit of bicycle tip. So, people pay to park their bikes in secure parking areas. You can see here. And oh, and here comes my friend. Yeah, he’s heading to Hamburg. and he just popped it into the prime. This is our bus station uh with platforms labeled as A, B, C, D, and E. By the way, Bonop also means train station. But this is the bus station here. This is the main area and I’m heading towards the city center. If you look over here, there are some scientific displays along the way. If you are into physics or geology, you might find them interesting. There’s something some writing on them, but I find it a bit challenging to understand. They even have some pieces from Mars. Yeah. Since Gingan is quite renowned in science, the university has has about 47 Nobel prizes. I think it’s third in Germany after H Highleberg which has around maybe 55 or 57 and another university with uh about 58 or so. Yeah, you can see some of these displays along the road and there are also bikes parked here and there. Yeah, this is the Isa market which is a Muslim market and where I get like halal meat and chicken mostly and now I’m clicking a picture with Mars particles. All right, the city center is about to begin and you can see these old buildings over here. The university H. Okay, this town is very famous for the for its signs and the fact that it was spread spared from it was spared from heavy bombing in the World War II because it’s a small state and uh the other states which are heavily industrialized like Hanofurer and other main cities they were highly bombed. Now you can see here the central yeah church this is the old church and tourist attraction as well. So people come here and enjoy it. Tourists. Now this is the typical street of Europe or Germany. Here you can see a lot of people here and there like a normal days. This is their free time. What they do? They just come and sit here having ice cream, having drinks or something. Yeah. They just chitchat here. The this is like the free time activities for all German people and the old buildings. Yeah. Everywhere the these are traditional buildings wareh houses because it was spared from the heavy bumping and yeah it it makes sense. You can see here people are enjoying chatting with each other relaxing. And now this is the exact city center where we call it Ganziliza center because there’s a statue here. Uh yeah this is the central church the old and central church here. You can see the people are also sitting here and there on benches. Yeah I came here because I need something from this market like the DMAR. Okay. I’ll give you a virtual tour and now and I just started enjoying so I thought okay let’s complete another round here. Yeah. Now you can see here it’s a tradition when someone complete PhD and University of Ghenan. So they they like carry him in this cart like his supervisor and other lab mates and then he is like he’s he’s supposed to climb up there to the Galiza statue and kiss the statue as well as hang the flowers bouquet at the top. So this was our first tour to Gandaliza center from the Goa Institute and we were lucky to witness one of the PhD tradition here. Yeah, sometimes when we go there sometimes you can see but it’s not like very usual that okay every day some someone complete PhD because you know PhD is very um long journey 3 to four years and sometimes it take five years it depends because in science you don’t you don’t know you’re not sure how much time it will take because it’s experiment and if you are working in biology the bacteria So he just kissed the statue, Genel the statue.
