This beautiful building is surrounded by a pedestrianised area full of modern shops which is a pity. More

Climbing the 760+ steps to the top of Ulm Munster is a fabulous experience. Typical twisty, tiny staircases and people squeezing by each other going opposite ways. There are three platforms where you can rest if you need to. Even when it’s raining, the experience of being up in the tallest church spire in the world is amazing. This climb... More

Great gothic Cathedral. You can walk up the steps to the top. What a view!! You can see the alps on a clear day. Rub some muscle cream on your legs before you walk up. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around the cathedral to replenish More

Wonderful masterpiece! Definitely worth climbing the steep stairs all the way to the top. Even though I am afraid of the hights, I did it (no chance to fall down even with open windows).

The Ulm Munster is beautiful, inside and out. The detail on the gothic exterior is stunning. The interior is a little less oppulent at first glance, until you pay attention to the details in the choir lofts, baptismal fount and podiums. Definitely worth a visit, and if you're there on a clear day, climb the stairs in the tower for... More

Measuring an impressing 530 feet the Munster is the tallest church in the world and probably the finest Gothic church in Germany. Dont miss it if you pass through Ulm, and if you dont...just make a detour and visit Ulm, it is an unbelievable town! More

the inside of the church is free, amazing wood carvings. We were only able to go about halfway up due to ice, but it was still worth going up, and they didn't charge us full price due to the ice. More

In the winter you are generally not allowed up to the very top of the steeple due to ice. More

Our family stopped in Ulm on our way to Bavaria. The cathedral is beautiful & the Christmas market is now one of our favorites! Well worth a visit if you are in the area. More
