- Elefantenklo. The most known view in Gießen seems to be the E-Klo, a "masterwork" of the questionable urban planning policy from the late 1960s. It is a massive pedestrian overpass found at Selterstor. The popular name is due to the three large octagonal openings in the concrete slab. This says a lot about what is there to see in urban Gießen.
- Dünsberg. Ancient Celtic buildings, e.g., a Celtic oppidum was rebuilt. They are on the, a small wooded hill where activities such as hiking and cycling are popular. Nearby are some old castles, which can be visited too.
- Mathematikum, Liebigstraße 8. An interactive museum of math and physics just down the road from the main train station.
- Liebig Museum, Liebigstraße 12.
- Kunsthalle Gießen, Berliner Platz 1. With temporary art exhibitions.
