The first, on the left bank, is in Baden-Wurttemberg, while the second, on the right bank of the river, is in Bavaria. The city is famous for two reasons. In 1879, it was the birthplace of Albert Einstein, and boasts the presence of a cathedral with the tallest tower in the world, 161.53 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Ulm is the oldest part of the city, while Neu Ulm is obviously newer. Ulm has a lovely historical centre, with several places of tourist interest. Neu Ulm, instead, is a residential area.<\/p>\n<p>Ulm is a beautiful city with an ancient history. The <strong>Ulm Cathedral<\/strong>, <strong>Ulmer M\u00fcnster<\/strong>, with its tall bell tower whose top is reachable by climbing 768 steps, was built between 1370 and 1530. The Cathedral has a capacity of over 20 000 people. The <strong>Rathaus<\/strong><strong>, the old Town Hall<\/strong>, dates back to 1370, and houses one of the earliest <em>flying machine<\/em> prototypes, designed in the mid-1800 by <strong>Albrecht<\/strong><strong> Berblingerm<\/strong> better known as the<em> Tailor<\/em><em> of Ulm<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Another place of interest in Ulm is the <strong>Fischerviertel<\/strong>, an old fishermen&#8217;s quarter that lies on the banks of River Blau, a small Danube tributary. This very suggestive place, looks like a tangle of small wooden houses, which are accessed by wooden bridges spanning the many channels. The neighborhood hosts lots of great Renaissance palaces, such as <strong>Alte<\/strong><strong> M\u00fcnz<\/strong>, the Old Mint, and <strong>Schiefes<\/strong><strong> Haus<\/strong>, a typical 16<sup>th<\/sup> century house today used as an elegant hotel, also quite expensive.<\/p>\n<p>From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.traveleurope.com\/germany\/ulm.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>hotels in Ulm&#8217;s historical centre<\/strong><\/a>, you have easy access to the <strong>Krone<\/strong><strong> Inn<\/strong>, a complex of medieval buildings dating back to the 15<sup>th<\/sup>-16<sup>th<\/sup> century, where the emperors and their courts once lived during the summer. The city centre also hosts the <strong>Butchers\u2019 Tower<\/strong>, <strong>Unter<\/strong><strong> der Metzig<\/strong>, built in 1350. The tower, about 36 meters high, leans on one side just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that when the citizens of Ulm found out that butchers used to put sawdust in the sausages, they locked them in the tower. When the authorities read out the verdict, the butchers, all very stout men, gathered in a corner of the tower, thus tipping the scales on one side. Of course, the truth is that the Tower was originally built on marshy ground and therefore a bit unstable.<\/p>\n<p>Even <strong>Ulm City Library,<\/strong> <strong>Ulm<\/strong><strong> Stadtbibliothek,<\/strong> is very interesting; it is located in Vestgasse, and housed in a huge glass pyramid. In addition to marking the places where Einstein and Kepler once lived, Ulm has also created a memorial dedicated to <strong>Hans<\/strong><strong> and Sophie Scholl<\/strong>, a brother and sister members of a non-violent anti Nazi resistance group called the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/White_Rose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>White Rose<\/strong><\/a>. In 1943, the Scholls and other members of the group were executed.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of Ulm is in July, on the occasion of <strong>Schw\u00f6rmontag<\/strong>, the Oath Monday. Since 1397, on that day the mayor of the city renews his oath of allegiance to the city: his declaration from the balcony of the Schw\u00f6rhaus, the Oath House, is followed by a great festival on the banks of the Danube, including a beautiful parade of boats called<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tM9HkR1PR0E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nabada<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most important trade shows held at Ulm Fair, <strong>Ulm<\/strong><strong>&#8211;<\/strong><strong>Messe<\/strong> in Bofinger Strasse, ranks <strong>Technorama, <\/strong>in early May. For three days, the exhibition halls host beautiful vintage cars from the beginning of the Century, plus a selection of clothing and accessories for motorists in the 1930s style. In the days of the Fair, there are also many auctions of old and glorious cars.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/archeon\/305853185\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">hans s<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The historic city of Ulm, on the banks of the Danube, is an interesting tourist destination.
