    Ingolstadt is the youngest major city in Germany. Although it counts over 120,000 citizens today, some people still call it a village, since it can't keep up with the big city charme of [wiki=baa993ff1d0f2fccb0573468522a2a4a]Nuremberg[/wiki] or [wiki=7b88a4aca50f33c258efc438d098c9f4]Munich[/wiki].
    In the past Ingolstadt was mainly known for hosting the first Bavarian University and its military fortress facilities. The latter is the reason, why some citizens of Ingolstadt still call each other Schanzer (from German verschanzen: to fortify).
    It is also the city where Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati.

    • By plane

      Munich Airport is one of the closest airports to Ingolstadt. By train Munich Hauptbahnhof (central station) is about 35 minutes away from Ingolstadt by ICE high speed trains. The journey costs approx. 17€. Since one has to go first to the central station in Munich by S-Bahn (about 1 hour) and then change connection there and get on a train to Ingolstadt it is a lot quicker and more convenient to take the bus. But, if you are a party of up to 5 people and travel on a tight budget after 9 a.m. you may consider taking the train - for there exists a dicscounted ticket (Bayernticket) for up to five persons which is valid for the S-Bahn, the train and also most buses (be aware though, that you are not allowed to take ICE or IC trains with that ticket!).

      From Munich Airport there is a bus called "Airport Express X109". A one-way ticket is 20€ and a return ticket 33€. The bus takes approx. an hour to the center of Ingolstadt, stopping at Ingolstadt central bus station (ZOB). It leaves every day at 5:15, 6:45, 8:15, 9:45, 11:15, 12:45, 14:15, 15:45, 17:15, 18:45, 20:15, 21:45, and 0:15 at Terminal 2 E 03, passing by Terminal 1 Bereich A/B three minutes later and at the Airport Center (MAC) another 4 minutes later. More information can be obtained under http://www.invg.de/fahrplan/2010/X109_2010.pdf

      Nuremberg airport is also rather close by and can be reached easily by train and subway. From the airport you take the subway "U2" to Nürnberg Hbf (U-Bahn) (central station). The ride takes some 13 minutes. There you change to a train (another 40 minutes ride to Ingolstadt).

    • By train

      The main station is Ingolstadt Hauptbahnhof (HBF) and the second most important station of the city is Ingolstadt Nord.

    • By car

      Ingolstadt is located on the Autobahn A9 about halfway between [wiki=7b88a4aca50f33c258efc438d098c9f4]Munich[/wiki] an [wiki=baa993ff1d0f2fccb0573468522a2a4a]Nuremberg[/wiki] with the exits Ingolstadt Nord (61) and Ingolstadt Süd (62).

  • filter_dramaGet around
    • By bus

      In Ingolstadt a decent network of bus lines is operated by the INVG (Ingolstädter Verkehrsgesellschaft). All parts of the town and most of the sorrounding villages are reachable ([url=http://www.invg.de/liniennetz/2010/liniennetzplan2010.pdf]Network Plan[/url]). During the day (05:00 - 21:00) you can catch a bus every 15 to 60 minutes. During the night, the service is reduced ([url=http://www.invg.de/liniennetz/2010/nachtliniennetzplan2010.pdf]Network Plan[/url]) and special night lines, recognizable by the letter 'N' proceeding their number are employed.

    • By taxi

      Currently 105 Taxis are operating in Ingolstadt. Most of them are organized within the Ingolstadt Taxi Central Office, where you can order a car by phone (+49-841-19410). Most of the drivers speak at least basic English and should know most of the Hotels, Clubs and other points of interests in the city by name.
      During the weekend night party rush hour however, you will have little luck getting a taxi by phone or on a taxi stand, especially when you try to get out of the city. In the latter case, try to move to the outskirts of the city in the direction of your destination. Most of the taxis will try to go back into the city and you have a bigger chance to intercept these on the outskirts than in the center. Even if you don't get one, your better off making pace in your direction than standing in the city center and waiting.
      You can get to most places in town for about 10 to 15€. The drivers are normally able to estimate the price quite well, but are legally required to charge exactly according to the price meter, callibrated by local authorities. When you leave the so called Pflichtfahrgebiet (area where the driver is obligated to accept passengers), which covers the town an some of the sorrounding villages, you can negotiate a price with the driver.

    • By bike

      A very good way to get around in Ingolstadt is to use a bike. Most of the main streets have bicycle lanes and you are able to get through parks an other areas you would have to go around by car. Remember to setup your bike for traffic safety though (especially with working front and back lights) and strictly follow traffic regulations. Bavarian police officers are very fussy about that. Getting a 100€ fine for driving over a red traffic light with your bike in the middle of nowhere without anyone around except for the police man 500 meters behind you is common.

    • Historical Buildings

      All the historical buildings are found in or near the historical inner city and are within walking distance to one another.

      *Built in 1385 it is the best preserved part of the old city wall. It's one of the city's landmarks. Most of the time it is closed and can only be seen from the outside but was opened for a short period of time recently, since a group of locals is gathering donations for a renovation of the inside.

      *Built from 1425 to 1525 by duke Ludwig the Rich this is the biggest church of Ingolstadt. Late gothic architecture, the tomb of famous Ingolstadt scholars and the artistic interior make it a renowned place for visiting.

      *Hidden in the narrow streets of the inner city, this is a jewel of baroque art, especially the fresco on the ceiling. Officially named "St. Maria de Victoria".

      *Dating back to the 14th century, this building was created by merging four different buildings into one in 1882. It is the seat of the mayor and what might interest you even more the cities tourist information.

      The museum is separated into two locations. The Neues Schloss, a former duke's residence and part of the city wall, hosts a collection of military artifacts from different eras as well as a bunch of replicas.

It shows an outline of medical science from the ancient history until today. A special highlight is the garden of medicinal plants which has special features for blind and handicapped people.

    • Budget

      If you want to make your own food and like fresh ingredients, there is a traditional market where you can buy from local shops and farmers.

      *Get a cheap meal in a relaxed venue. The market is much smaller than its famous pendant in Munich, but you will see more locals drinking their Weißbier (wheat beer) and hardly any tourists.

Recommendation: Get shashlik with french fries and a wheat beer at Daufratshofer (Schaschlik mit Pommes und Weizen) .

      *Get some of the best sausages in Bavaria served by the lovely Marianne.

Recommendation: Get the standard Wiener sausage with spicy mustard (scharfer Senf) and Brezen.

The menu has pictures of the dishes, so even when you don't speak German and the staffs' English is not sufficient, you could find a good bite to eat.

Everywhere around the dining room are old beer brewing utilities and exhibits about beer, for example a copy of the Reinheitsgebot.

      *Traditional Bavarian cuisine. The restaurant is in the basement of the building. To go there you can take stairs or a wooden slide (hence the name "Rutschn" which means slide in the Bavarian dialect).

  • filter_dramaStay safe
    Like most of Bavaria Ingolstadt is very safe. Even in the more deprived areas in the north it is extremely unlikely to become the victim of a crime. Use your common sense to avoid risky situations though.

    Additional to the (free) general German emergency lines (112 - General ermegency/Fire, 110 - Police) there's a direct line to get an ambulance: 19222.
