Augsburg, located in the south of Germany in Bavaria, is the oldest city in the state and the second oldest in the country. Although Augsburg is not as popular as destinations like Munich or Stuttgart, this city shaped the history of Germany through its wealth, culture, and architecture and offers a breadth of experiences to wow even the most discerning traveler.
Augsburg boasts the unique title of having the world's oldest public housing settlement still in use. Founded by one of the richest men in the world at the time, Jacob Fugger, this housing complex has stood for over 500 years, providing housing for impoverished Catholics. The Fuggerei, as it is called, still houses people in need and the annual rent is equal to what one Rhenish guilder was worth in 1516: less than one euro. The enclave also welcomes visitors to learn more about Augsburg's history of community living at an on-site museum.
Augsburg hosts various festivals throughout the year, so there is always something happening in this small city. From the Mozart Festival to the Folk Festival to the celebration of youth culture, you can always rely on the celebration, great food, and parades in and around Augsburg.

Ulm boasts a rich history dating back to the 9th century, making it one of the best cities to explore Germany’s past. Its most notable landmark is Ulm Minster, a Gothic church with the tallest steeple in the world. From the church, amble south into the Fischerviertel, a quarter blessed with cobblestone streets, picturesque footbridges, and charming cafes.
Ulm is the birthplace of the world-famous scientist Albert Einstein, and the site of his former home now preserves his legacy with the Albert Einstein Memorial. The sculptural memorial is a bit abstract, so you could also cross to the other side of the city to see Einstein Brunnen. This bizarre fountain has a sculpture of Einstein's head sticking out of it, with his tongue sticking out of his mouth.
You don't need to be an Einstein to figure out how to get to Ulm. Numerous bus companies provide routes to Ulm from cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Krakow, and Paris. The German train network, Deutsche Bahn, also connects Ulm to various destinations by rail.
