With a population of around 13,400, it is the smallest university town in Europe.

However, there is plenty to see in Eichstätt too: Imposing baroque buildings give the old town an element of Italian flair. The Willibaldsburg castle with its famous Archaeopteryx fossil towers over the town. The university buildings’ modern architecture has won many awards. The town is framed by the Altmühltal natural park – a paradise for nature lovers with many opportunities for cycling, hiking, climbing and canoeing. The green spaces of the Hofgarten, the outdoor swimming pool and traditional beer gardens are popular destinations in summer.
