City Information
Ingolstadt

Ingolstadt is the setting for Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," but it's the birthplace of more than just monsters. A professor at the University of Ingolstadt founded the original Illuminati secret society in 1776 (the organization disbanded a few years later). These days, Ingolstadt hosts the headquarters of many top German companies such as Audi, Airbus, and Saturn. Car fans will definitely want to check out the Audi Museum's collection of classic cars and join a guided tour through the Audi factory.
History lovers should opt instead for the New Castle, a Gothic structure housing the Bavarian Army Museum. The German Museum of Medicine History, located in the university's Baroque yellow Old Anatomy Building, includes indoor exhibits and a verdant garden of medicinal plants.
It's easy to reach Ingolstadt from nearby cities such as Munich on intercity buses from carriers like FlixBus. Those traveling farther might choose a seat on a Deutsche Bahn train, which arrives at the Ingolstadt Nord or Ingolstadt Hauptbahnhof stations.

Darmstadt is a large city in the state of Hesse, near Frankfurt. It is known as Germany's City of Science due to the many scientific institutions and academies within the city's limits. A long list of notable landmarks makes Darmstadt a worthy destination to explore.
One of the most popular landmarks in the city is the ruins of Frankenstein Castle, which is said to have inspired the world-famous novel by Mary Shelley. Another is the St. Mary Magdalene Chapel, used by the Russian imperial family during their visit to the city. Finally, if you're a fan of quirky architecture, don't miss the art-nouveau museum Institut Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt or the Waldspirale, a colorful, spiraling residential building built in the 1990s.
To begin your Darmstadt adventure, catch a bus or train, both of which usually arrive at the Zweifalltorweg station. FlixBus and Sindbad connect Darmstadt to other cities by bus, and Deutsche Bahn, FlixTrain, and Railjet provide travel by train.
