10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Ulm That You Shouldn't Miss

May 2, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Founded in the mid-9th century, Ulm enjoyed a long history as a free imperial city, ruled only by the Holy Roman Emperor with no pesky princes in between. An important trade town for centuries, Ulm was also the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Rising 530 feet, Ulm Minster has the world’s tallest steeple, the top of which can be reached via 768 steps. Ulm’s younger sister city, Neo Ulm (or New Ulm) lies just across the Danube River and is part of Bavaria rather than Baden-Wurttemberg.

The Rathaus exterior was beautiful. The murals painted on the building looked almost new although it is a very old building.

The interior of the minster was much more impressive than I had expected. The modern stained glass windows are unique. And of course going up the highest steeple in the world is an extraordinary experience.

Museum Brot und Kunst

The exhibition in the Museum of Bread and Art has two parts. Art is on one side, and topics such as bread, everyday life, nutrition, and consumption are on the other side. There are cultural dimensions to both parts: it is about understanding and interpreting the world around us, especially the exploration of the spaces in between stereotypes and popular conceptions. The two halves complement each other. This is what makes this museum so special.

Fishermen's Quarter

Starting from the Butchers gate a walk along the wallls and down into the fishermans district is a must if you are in Ulm. Various sluices, leats and water mill wheels along with overhanging timber frame buildings make a fascinating scene at any time of year.
