Tübingen's swishest digs are a 15-minute stroll south of the Altstadt. Contemporary
rooms designed with panache come with welcome tea, coffee and soft drinks. Breakfast is
a smorgasbord of mostly organic goodies. The crowning glory is the top-floor spa with
tremendous city views.

; Neckarhalde 2; s/d €70/105; )
Huddled away in the
Altstadt, this candyfloss-pink guesthouse has old-school, immaculately kept rooms, many
looking across Tübingen's gables. Pastries, smoked fish and eggs are nice additions to the
breakfast buffet.

Mauganeschtle €€€
( 929 40; Burgsteige 18; mains €10-19.50; daily)
It's a stiff climb up to this res-
taurant at Hotel am Schloss but worth every step. Suspended above the rooftops of Tübin-
gen, the terrace is a scenic spot for the house speciality,
Maultaschen
, with fillings like
lamb, trout, porcini and veal.

BREWPUB
Neckarmüller €€
( 278 48; Gartenstrasse 4; mains €7.50-15; 10am-1am)
Overlooking the Neckar,
this cavernous microbrewery is a summertime magnet for its chestnut-shaded beer garden.
Come for home brews by the metre and beer-laced dishes from (tasty) Swabian roast to
(interesting) tripe stew.
Alte Weinstube Göhner €€€
( 551 668; Schmiedtorstrasse 5; mains €10-17; closed Mon lunch, Sun)
As down-
to-earth and comfy as a Swabian farmer's boots, this 175-year-old haunt is Tübingen's
oldest wine tavern. Join the high-spirited regulars to discuss the merits of
Maultaschen,
sip a glass of Trollinger and, if you're lucky, hear someone bashing out golden oldies on
the piano.
