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 traveller.
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.
There are several easy ways to travel to this charming town. Regular trains from Munich Airport provide easy international access to the city. The Hauptbahnhof, or train station, also welcomes frequent regional, national, and international trains run by Deutsche Bahn and FlixTrain.
