City Information

Memmingen is a small Bavarian city that often serves as a gateway for travelers headed to the Bavarian Alps or Lake Constance. The city's founding dates back to the days of the Roman Empire, and many ruins of ancient structures are scattered throughout the city. The old town quarter is among the most popular attractions in Memmingen. It features many Baroque houses festooned with spiral details, unique rooflines, and other playful architectural elements. The local Renaissance market, located next to the town hall, is also extremely picturesque.
Don't miss the chance to walk along the path of the old town's medieval walls. Portions of the walls and five towers still stand and show what the town used to look like. Where moats used to surround the town walls in the Middle Ages, now several public parks offer recreation and spots for scenic strolls.
Since Memmingen is so small, it is easy to get around the town center on foot. To reach this quaint paradise, you can travel via plane, train, or bus. The Allgäu Airport Memmingen is a very basic airport that welcomes a couple of flights, but taking the train or bus offers many more travel times. Deutsche Bahn trains from cities like Ulm and Munich arrive at a railway station near the town center. Intercity buses connect Memmingen to other cities, including Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, and Berlin.

Bochum is a city in the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region in western Germany. Like many of the cities in the Ruhr Valley, Bochum grew thanks to its industrious history, particularly via coal mining and steel manufacturing facilities.
To learn more about the industries that made Bochum, visit the German Mining Museum, the largest mining museum in the world. It displays the lasting effects mining had on the community, from its social and cultural impact to its economic and ecological consequences. You can't miss the green winding tower rising above the museum; this industrial structure was once part of a coal mine but now offers visitors panoramic views over the Ruhr.
For those who prefer the outdoors to the underground, visit the Ruhr University Bochum Botanical Garden. Opened in 1968, this garden has numerous greenhouses, each housing an impressive display of plants and shrubs from around the world. The Tierpark und Fossilium Bochum is another great outdoor activity, home to almost 4,000 animals and an impressive fossil collection.
Many ICE trains connect Bochum to the rest of Germany and Europe via the city's main railway station. Regional trains also depart and arrive frequently. Book a bus on Sindbad or FlixBus into Bochum for travel by road from various destinations around the continent.

Next to Bochum Hbf on Wittener Straße is one of the city’s main Flixbus stops. There's a sign to note where the stop is, but the stop itself is underneath the railway bridge, so it may be hard to find. Luckily, it's very close to the rail station itself, so the staff there can help you find it if needed. Flixbus routes stopping here travel to international destinations, including London, Dresden, and Bratislava. Unfortunately, there is no seating at the stop, but Bochum Hbf (the train station) has a KFC, Mcdonald's, supermarkets, ticket offices, cafes, and a hotel. It is also in the city center, so there are attractions, restaurants, hotels such as the Mercure, and a large shopping mall.
