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.

Jena is a German city famous for its rolling hills and a variety of wild orchids. One of the most iconic landmarks in the city is Stadtkirche Sankt Michael, or the Church of St. Michael. The church's magnificent Gothic architecture includes a tower that may have once seemed tall, but is now dwarfed by the neighboring JenTower skyscraper. The cylindrical JenTower has an observation deck and restaurant on the top floor where you can get the best views of Jena.
Jena has a wealth of quirky museums that are not your average art or history museums. For example, the Optical Museum exhibits a wide range of glasses, microscopes, and cameras from various points in optics history. Planetarium Jena often runs laser astronomy shows, and the Phyletic Museum hosts a small but rich collection of natural history exhibits. Of course, you can always simply stroll in the Botanischer Garten, one of the oldest botanical gardens in Germany.
The central hub of intercity bus transportation in the city is the Jena Paradies Bus Station, right in the city's center. Travel to Jena includes bus service on FlixBus, plus numerous train routes on the Deutsche Bahn network.
