3 things to see
Einstein’s birthplace is crowned by the world’s tallest church steeple at 161 meters, climbable for a small fee for a panorama that stretches to the Alps on clear days. Wandering the Danube-side fishing quarter with its half-timbered houses and the free river promenade costs nothing, and the cathedral square itself is free to enjoy. That makes Ulm a rewarding budget stop between Munich and Stuttgart, with Augsburg another easy rail hop east.
