Trams in Ulm, tram system
Trams in Ulm are a local transport system with two main lines connecting the city center to different neighborhoods. The modern vehicles are about 31 meters long and run on electricity.
The first tram system in Ulm began operating in 1897, connecting the main station and residential areas. Since the early 2000s, the vehicles have been replaced with modern Siemens trams that carry more passengers and operate more efficiently.
The trams shape daily life in Ulm and have been part of the city's routine for over a century. They connect different neighborhoods and let people move around without needing a car.
Buy tickets from machines at stops, at the train station, or from the driver. The entire Ulm and Neu-Ulm area counts as one zone, making planning and travel simple.
Germany's highest tram stop is located at the Botanical Gardens in Ulm, sitting above 600 meters elevation. Passengers waiting there can enjoy views of the city and surrounding countryside.
