Out and About in Ingolstadt and the surrounding Region
Why travel far, when the all good things are sooooo near!
Ingolstadt is an attractive city. Traditional, dynamic and likeable! So that you don’t have to wait to find this out, we have picked out a few points for you!
If you have seen enough of the city, the surroundings offer a wide variety of destinations. There is plenty to see – the historical towns of the Altmühl Valley National Park, the Hallertau and the Donaumoos, and further afield the larger towns and cities like Munich, Nuremberg, Regensburg and Augsburg.
Ingolstadt is much more than a vibrant technical city. Bavaria’s youngest town with city status combines a long history with plenty of modern culture.
Old Bavarian traditions and city flair create a harmonious mix. Sights such as the New Castle, the baroque Asam Church or the impressive fortress surround the lively city with its exclusive shopping options, an immense variety of restaurants and numerous events.
Ingolstadt is easy to reach and therefore popular for those visiting exhibitions from Nuremberg to Munich. The nearest airports are the local airports Ingolstadt-Manching and Augsburg, and the international airport at Munich, 71km away. Ingolstadt can also be reached easily by IC and ICE.
Audi Museum Mobile
Whether you like art, history or technology, Ingolstadt has plenty for you to enjoy in the form of the Roman and Celtic Museum, the German Medical History Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the spectacular AUDI Museum Mobile.
Here in the "Museum Mobile" in the Audi Forum Ingolstadt, it’s all about movement in the sense of mobility. The unique and extremely impressive moving paternoster with its historical exhibits from Audi’s eventful history. Take a trip through time and see how today’s AUDI AG was born of Audi, DKW, Horch, Wanderer and later also NSU.
Guided tours, exhibitions, events, gastronomy and a sophisticated programme at the Audi cinema are further highlights at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt. Get some first impressions on the internet under: www.audi.de/foren

Klenzepark
If you fancy a romantic walk, go to Ingolstadt’s Klenze park, just across from the historical old town. The park, which is about 20ha in size, was named after the court master-builder Leo von Klenze. King Ludwig I of Bavaria appointed Klenze his court architect and had him build a fortress in Ingolstadt so that he could “retreat” (“verschanzen”) if necessary.
...and so all those originally from Ingolstadt gained the nickname „Schanzer“!
This is just right for an extended weekend! How about an afternoon in the countryside for a change? In the Klenze Park in Ingolstadt you are not only right beside the Danube, but there is also a great adventure playground for the children or you can visit the only “car-free” beer garden in Ingolstadt, the KIK.
