Getting There & Around
The Neckar River divides Tübingen from east to west. Karlstrasse leads south to the
Hauptbahnhof (500m) from Eberhardsbrücke.
Tübingen is an easy train ride from Stuttgart (€12.20, one hour, at least two per hour)
and Villingen (€21, 1½ to two hours, hourly) in the Black Forest.
The centre is a maze of one-way streets with residents-only parking, so head for a
multistorey car park. To drive into Tübingen, you need to purchase an environmentally
friendly
Umweltplaketten
(emissions sticker).
