Memmingen

Give Memmingen one night, or use it as a cheap-flight landing pad: the walled old town is a half-day, not a base for the Allgäu.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Central Europe ↗Six of the nine countries here — Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia — charge a time-based motorway vignette, mostly digital and linked to the number plate; buy it before the first motorway past the border, because cameras, not toll booths, do the checking.
  • Central Europe ↗Temporary police checks at internal Schengen borders are common in this region in 2026 (Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia among others — check): keep your passport on you on every cross-border train, bus and road even though there is no fixed control post.
  • Germany ↗Germany is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
  • Germany ↗Nazi symbols and gestures are criminal offences, including as jokes or souvenirs.
  • Germany ↗Many city centres are low-emission zones: a car needs the right sticker (Umweltplakette) to enter.

Memmingen is a 42,000-person town in Bavarian Swabia with a walkable medieval core: about 2 km of town wall, five gates and towers, and St Martin's church at 65 m. Most foreign travellers arrive because Allgäu Airport (FMM) 4 km east sells itself as "Munich West" — it is not Munich, and the town itself is a half-day plus a night, not a multi-day destination.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

Walk: the old town is small and flat, all sights within 15 min on foot. Bike: fast and independent of the thin bus network; hire shops in town and at the airport, and the Iller-Radweg runs north to Ulm and south to Oberstdorf. Bus: useful only for the airport and nearby villages; after about 19:00 there is no regular service, only a hailed shared taxi (Anrufsammeltaxi) that must be phoned ahead. Car: A7 and A96 meet here; hire desks at the airport (Sixt, Hertz, Europcar) and near the station.

Watch out

Safety

Very safe for a town of this size; the real risks are an early flight with no bus, ice on the pavements in winter, and bikes on the shared paths.
  • Low-cost airlines sell FMM as "Munich West": it is 115 km from Munich, about 1 h 15 min by train from Memmingen station.
  • Airport buses run roughly every 30 min between about 05:00 and 23:00; card payment on board is not always possible, so carry cash.
  • After about 19:00 no regular town buses: plan the Anrufsammeltaxi or walk.
  • St Martin's tower is only open on guided tours, seasonally May–October; English tours need asking in advance.
  • The Wallenstein Festival runs every four years, not annually — check the year before you book around it.
