Map of suggested city tour (2 hours) - Ulm

A couple of hours

In a trip to Italy, I passed Ulm and decided to spend the night.
On the next day I walked a couple of hours in the city centre, discovering the cathedral, the typical houses, the pedestrian center, the river Danube and other particular buildings.
I suggest a tour in the city for a couple of hours, ideally starting from central station if you reach Ulm by train, or where you can park if you drive a car.

Town hall and cathedral tower

Typical half-timbered house in Fishermen's quarter

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:More than Cathedral and Einstein
