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.
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. Intercity bus carriers run many routes to Augsburg, with the most trip options available on FlixBus.

Karlsruhe is fondly referred to as the Fan-Shaped City. Even though it's at the northern edge of the Black Forest, Karlsruhe has some of the warmest weather in the country, so many visitors pick this city to experience a Mediterranean-inspired vacation in Germany. There are hundreds of fine museums, quirky galleries, and beautiful theatres in the area that are all worth checking out.
Karlsruhe is a hub for science and technology, but it has an artistic side, too. The ZKM is a unique art museum that displays contemporary video and audio installations in a former weapons factory. Hit up the Jakobus Theatre, Kammertheater Karlsruhe, or The Sandkorn Theatre for live music or theatrical performance.
Another can't-miss landmark is the Karlsruhe Palace, built in the 18th-century. Not only does the palace include stunning grounds and magnificent architecture, it also houses the Baden State Museum with exhibits about the region's history. Some of the best outdoor recreation sites are Badesee Epple, Rheinstrandbad Rappenwort, and Weingarten, offering blue waters for fishing, swimming, and sailing, respectively.
Karlsruhe is easy to reach from cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt on Deutsche Bahn trains. FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, Sindbad, Union Ivkoni, and Cazmatrans provide bus service to the city as well. The Karlsruhe/Baden Airport is not too far away, so you can travel to this warm destination from nearly anywhere.
