Ingolstadt

About

Located on the banks of the Danube River, the fortified city of Ingolstadt presents visitors with an exciting mix of past and present. Mary Shelley chose Ingolstadt as the setting for her novel Frankenstein and the Frankenstein themed tour of the Old Town is always popular with tourists. In contrast, this innovation guided city is home to the Audi Forum Ingolstadt, which is visited by over 500,000 people each year. The Audi manufacturing plant has factory tours available while the Audi Museum is a must-see for car enthusiasts, where a vast range of modern, classic, and vintage automobiles are on display. Both visitor experiences offer the best of German technology, design and innovation. If that’s not your cup of tea, then Ingolstadt provides the perfect opportunity to indulge in some retail therapy with its small, sophisticated privately-owned shops and boutiques set in the bustling and lively Old Town.
