Taxi

Taxis in Germany are rather expensive. However, if you share a taxi with your friends who have the same destination, it might be a good bargain for you. A ride from the inner city to the Universität Ulm or to other distant parts of the city will be about 10 to 15 Euro.

On foot

The inner cities of Ulm and Neu-Ulm are quite small and everything there can be reached by foot conveniently. However, the universities (and also some student residences) in Ulm and Neu-Ulm are located on the outskirts of the cities. 

Bicycle

Exploring Ulm by bicycle is easy. There are a lot of bike paths in the city. Especially cycling along the Danube river is very popular. But be aware that Ulm University and parts of Ulm University of Applied Sciences are in higher regions of the city and the altitude difference to the inner city is up to 200 m.
