TRANSPORTATION: take a train here and you will land on the south side of the river. The majority of the time you can walk, but take a cab from the train station. Many of the streets are cobblestone which makes wheeling luggage painfully annoying. Once you hit your hotel, you should be able to walk, despite some good hills throughout town.
LODGING:
- Hotel Am Schloss - Burgesteig 18 - top of the hill near the castle - great little hotel, just beware as there is a bar right across the street. This can get noisy at night, but all in all was a nice hotel.
- Hotel Hospisz - quieter alternative at the Faules Eck (down the road from Hotel Am Schloss). Note: there is a good chance you will wake up to church bells on the weekend.
- Gondola ride - much cheaper then Venice and often with beverages, food or music. Rides run from April to October.
- Schlossgarten/Schloss Hohentingen - castle/museum at the top of the hill in town. Interesting artifacts inside. Views are worthwhile.
- University - one of Germany's largest, this town is swarmed by young people
- El Chico: texmex on the river - what else could you want? Grab a seat outside and enjoy the view
- La Cantinella: great Italian restaurant off the beaten path.
- Make sure to grab a hot "bretzel" here as well as Zwiebelkuchen (onion cake - basically a quiche with onion in it, just don't call it a quiche)
- Necharmuller: not sure about the food (typical German fare), but the biergarten along the river is a great view of town.
- Ranitzky Cafe: overlooks the Marketplatz - good spot for a drink
- Saints & Scholars: campus Irish pub
- AmAsia - unique crafts local to the area
- Inflagranti - Erich Baltzer Marketgasse 9 - classy jewelery
- Weinbergschnecken Gau Austern - local wine producer - Kuchenfertig
