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.

Although meme conspiracy theories suggest this city does not exist, Bielefeld is a real city that, in fact, has existed since 1214! Bielefeld is located close to the Teutoburg Forest, so lace up your hiking boots for some seriously scenic walks and hikes. History-lovers might get more of a thrill at the Sparrenburg Castle, a fortress dating to the 13th century and mainly sporting 16th-century architecture. Also visit the Altstädter Nicolaikirche, the oldest church in the city, overlooking Alter Markt. This central square offers many cafés with outdoor seating and is the site of Bielefeld's Christmas market each December.
If you're a football fan, plan to see the Bundesliga team DSC Arminia Bielefeld play at the SchücoArena stadium. Luckily this and many other spots in the city are connected via the Stadtbahn light rail system.
To reach destinations beyond city limits, Deutsche Bahn trains are your best bet for efficient, comfortable travel throughout Germany. Most trains arrive at Am Bahnhof 1 station, and intercity buses also operate through this central station. You can catch a bus in Bielefeld headed to nearby Münster, Hanover, Dortmund, and more.
