Top Attractions in Ulm

Stadtmauer (City Wall Walk) Free

💡 Start near the Gänstor and follow the path east. It's short but connects to the riverbank for a longer walk to the Friedrichsau park. No cost, no opening hours.

Fischer- und Gerberviertel Free

💡 Look for the Schiefes Haus (crooked house) on the riverbank. Wander the side alleys for quiet spots away from the main path.

Ulmer Münster Free

💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid queues. The climb costs €4 for under-18s and €7 for adults, but the church itself is free.

Botanischer Garten der Universität Ulm Free

💡 It's a 15-minute walk from the city centre or take bus line 2. The greenhouses are best in the morning when the light is soft. Free entry but donations welcome.

Schiefes Haus (The Crooked House)

💡 The exterior is the real highlight. Take your photo from the bridge on Schelergasse for the best angle. Skip the paid entry unless you want the backstory.
