City in Germany

Augsburg

3 things to see

Augsburg is one of Germany’s oldest cities, home to the Fuggerei (the world’s oldest social housing project) and a beautiful Renaissance city center at Bavarian prices. The old town, with its grand merchant houses and ornate fountains along Maximilianstrasse, is free to explore on foot. It sits close to Munich and Nuremberg, so it works well as a quieter, cheaper base on a Bavaria rail route. Visit outside the summer festival season for lower room rates.
