Ulm is a historic city on the Danube river, where you can admire the stunning Ulm Münster, the tallest church tower in the world. Ulm is also a city of contrasts, where medieval buildings coexist with modern architecture, such as the twisted tower of the Ulm City Library. Ulm is the birthplace of Albert Einstein, and you can learn more about his life and legacy at the Einstein House. If you are interested in the culture and history of the Danube Swabians, a German-speaking ethnic group that settled in the region, you can visit the Museum of Bread Culture and the Danube Swabian Museum. Ulm is also a great base for exploring the Upper Swabian Baroque Highway, a scenic route that connects dozens of baroque churches and monasteries.
