Erfurt is the capital and largest city in the German state of Thuringia. Most of the city was built and designed in the Middle Ages, so prepare to be charmed by narrow pedestrian streets, quaint bridges, and gorgeous green spaces like the Egapark. As you stroll around the city center, keep your eyes peeled for as many as 25 churches of different architectural styles. A unique sight in Erfurt is the Krämerbrücke, or merchants' bridge, arguably the most popular attraction in the city. This 15th-century arched bridge has houses built on either side, in a design that was common in medieval Europe.
Fitting for a large city, Erfurt does not disappoint when it comes to dining options. The most popular local restaurants you should consider visiting are EAT Erfurt and Gasthaus Feuerkugel. Or simply stop at any of the many stalls offering Thüringer Bratwurst, a regional delicacy!
Although there is a small airport for Erfurt, the route options are very limited. Most air passengers will travel through the Frankfurt airport and connect to Erfurt via bus or train. Erfurt's train station is actually one of the central hubs of Germany's Deutsche Bahn rail system.

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.
