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.

Located in central Germany, Kassel is a city with roots dating to the 10th century. These days, Kassel is perhaps best known for hosting documenta, a remarkable contemporary art exhibition that takes place every five years. However, if you're visiting outside of a documenta year, Kassel has many other exciting experiences to offer.
One of the most popular sites in Kassel is the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a landscape park covering over 2.5 square kilometers of hillside. Construction of the park began in 1689, and the Baroque style of the Bergpark took 150 years to complete. The park's defining feature is a giant statue of Hercules, surrounded by a system of fountains and waterworks.
Kassel is also famed for being near the hometown of the legendary writers, the Brothers Grimm, and Grimm World is the newest attraction in the city. It commemorates the brothers’ legacy through interactive and multimedia exhibits inspired by their iconic works, such as Rapunzel, Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Snow White. The museum is not just for children, though. Prepare your worst insults to shout into the swear word generator, which translates modern German curse words into older linguistic versions.
The easiest way to reach Kassel is via one of the ICE (Inter-City Express) trains that run throughout Europe. Rail service is convenient and affordable from nearby destinations like Berlin, Leipzig, and Hamburg. Buses also provide easy travel into Kassel, and FlixBus and Sindbad operate most bus routes.
