🇩🇪 Ulm, Germany: Where History Meets Friendship 🏰✨
Finally made it to Ulm after years of saying "we should go!"—and it did not disappoint! Sure, I might be a bit "cathedral-ed out" after traveling through Europe 🏛️😅, but how could I skip the world's tallest church? The Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster) towers at a dizzying 161.53 meters, making it a must-see, even for the most church-fatigued traveler! Why Ulm? Ulm isn’t just about the cathedral—it’s a hidden gem in southern Germany. This city is: ✅ Einstein’s birthplace 🧠 (yes, the genius!) ✅ A medieval marvel with charming half-timbered houses � ✅ Surprisingly uncrowded compared to tourist-heavy spots like Munich or Berlin 🚶♂️ But let’s be real—the best part was reuniting with friends! Years of "we should visit Ulm!" turned into an actual trip, filled with laughter, giant German meals, and maybe one too many beers 🍻🤣. The Mighty Ulm Minster This Gothic giant took 600 YEARS to complete (talk about patience! ⏳). The details are insane: 🔹 768 steps to the top (yes, we climbed them—legs still shaking 😵) 🔹 Brick-and-stone construction (most people don’t realize it’s partly brick!) 🔹 Stunning stained glass and a 16th-century organ Mozart once played 🎶 Pro tip: The view from the tower is UNREAL—you can see all the way to the Alps on a clear day! 🏔️ Food & Fun Ulm’s old-town vibes are perfect for: 🍽️ Cozy German taverns (we devoured giant schnitzels & pretzels 🥨) ☕ Cafés by the Danube River (perfect for people-watching) 🍻 Local breweries (Ulm’s beer game is strong 💪) Final Thoughts Ulm is underrated—it’s got history, beauty, and just the right amount of quirkiness. Plus, it’s way more relaxed than big German cities. 10/10 would recommend for a chill but fascinating getaway! #Germany #Ulm #TravelDiaries #CathedralViews #FriendGoals 🇩🇪❤️
