Ulm: Guide
Ulm is a town at the edge to Bavaria in Baden-Württemberg, south west Germany. It has the highest steeple in the world (161.53m), even higher than the Dome of Cologne. Ulm has 120,000 inhabitants.
Understand
Albert Einstein was born here.
Ulm has a lot of dense fog in some times of the year. Especially in late autumn and early spring. Sometimes you can see only 30-50m far (90-150 ft). The illuminated church looks impressive when it disappears in the fog.
Getting there
By train
The railway station is in the town center, about 5-minutes walk from the church (Ulmer Münster).
Remember there are special train tickets for Badenwürttemberg and Bayern. With these ticket up to five people can use all regional trains for a whole day for only 30 Euro (all together).
By plane
If you come from UK take ryanair to Friedrichshafen Airport. From there you can get to Ulm by train in about one hour.
Other nearby Airports are Munich, Stuttgart and Ausgburg. From these Airports an ICE train get directly to Ulm.
Getting around
The town center is small enough to walk around, but there are lots of buses and even sightseeing boats on the Danube (Donau) River.
See
Church: Construction on the Ulmer Münster began in the 14th century, but the current version was only fully completed in 1890. The interior of the Münster contains georgous choir stalls by Jörg Syrlin (1469–1474) in the 15th century. The top of the steeple can be reached via 768 steps and offers an amazing view over Ulm and the region (4€ for adults). On clear days, it is possible to see the Alps.
Fishermen's Quarter (Fischerviertel)
Walk along the Donau river through the Fischerviertel. Visit the many art galleries there. See the Schiefes Haus and enjoy the nice and little houses with very little streets between and small rivers. Visit the birthplace of Albert Einstein.
The major shopping street starts at the train station and leads directly to the Ulmer Münster church.
Hotel Schiefes Haus. Very nice, but also very expensive (about 120 Euro).
There are a lot of internet cafes all over the town. Just ask.
You can get free internet access at the new Stadtbibliothek (city library), next to the Rathaus (city hall). They have about 30 PC there. I don't know, if WLAN is also available there.

Murphy's Law is an Irish Pub.
The Schlössle is maybe one of the nicest beergardens and can be reached within a 15min walk from the city. They also serve their own beer. .Sleep
