We drove on to Tübingen, mostly on the back roads. Unfortunately we had our GPS set to take us the shortest route rather than the fastest, and it took us through Stuttgart at rush hour. Eventually, we figured it out and got on the autobahn to finish our trip.
We have been fortunate to have gotten AirBnB flats in the Altstadt’s where the streets are quaint and cobblestoned and they are great for walking around.
They are not so great for finding places to park, so we have had to drag our stuff some distances over cobblestoned streets. Tübingen is also hilly, so it was kind of a schlep.
We had to park in a public pay garage, and it appeared to us that it was going to cost of 45-75 euros, but we had little choice. It turned out that overnight parking only cost us about 10 euros, much to our relief.
Our flat in Tübingen was great! It was tiny and old, but our host was friendly and helpful and the flat was comfortable and right in the middle of things. A short walk away was a Greek restaurant where we had dinner outside.
A short walk the other way was a market square, where we had espresso and sweets outdoors on a lovely night.
The next morning, we went there for breakfast and were surprised to see the square filled with a farmers’ market.
We had a great breakfast, again outdoors, and it got us off to a very good start for the day.
It looks like there are plenty of picturesque sites without being in one spot.
