What to do and see in Ulm, Baden-Wurttemberg: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
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.

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.

Ulm is ringed by a series of magnificent stone fortresses dating from the 1830s and built to defend the new German Confederation from French attack. Large buildings house a theatre complex south of the Danube in Neu Ulm and NATO occupy a large complex including barracks and an underground armoury on the hill above Ulm. There is a little tower accessed bya spiral staircase which gives an artilleryman's view of the city. (It is not part of fortifications)
