💡 Tips
- Walk across the Herdbrücke bridge to Ulm for the absolute best view of Ulm Minster and the river skyline.
- Remember that Neu-Ulm is in Bavaria; this means different public holidays and store hours than just across the river.
- Glacis Park is the excellent spot for a shaded break within the walls of the historic federal fortress.
- Visit the weekly market at Petrusplatz on Wednesdays or Saturdays to experience local life and fresh food.
- Park at the Glacis-Galerie mall if you plan to explore both Neu-Ulm and Ulm's city center on foot.

Water temperature…
Located on the right bank of the Danube River, the Swabian town of Neu-Ulm sits directly across from its more famous sister city, Ulm, in Baden-Württemberg. Although the city is relatively young historically, having been founded only in the 19th century as a Bavarian bridgehead, it has developed into a dynamic and highly modern urban center. Architecturally, the striking water tower located in the idyllic Kollmannspark stands out as the unofficial landmark of the town. Culture enthusiasts should pay a visit to the Edwin Scharff Museum, which displays the works of the locally born sculptor alongside temporary art exhibitions, and also houses an excellent interactive children's museum. Those looking for relaxation are drawn to the expansive Glacis Park, which was laid out on the remains of the former federal fortress and today has lush greenery, open-air summer concerts, and shady beer gardens. A leisurely stroll along the well-developed banks of the Danube not only features a fantastic view of the towering Ulm Minster on the opposite side of the river but also invites you to cycle or enjoy a riverside picnic.
