Detailed itinerary

Start where medieval travelers once held their breath. This wasn’t just a gate — it was Augsburg’s first line of judgment, tolls, and occasional smuggling creativity.

Behind these walls lies the world’s oldest social housing still in use. Rent: less than a pretzel. Requirement: pray for the founder’s soul, daily. No pressure.

Gothic arches, Romanesque bones, and windows that glow with 12th-century drama. Plus, someone very important is buried here. Quietly.

Between a golden hall and a statue of Augustus striking a pose, this square tells more than meets the eye. Just pay attention to what’s standing at the corners.

A hidden chapel where wealth met reform. Renaissance ceilings, Fugger tombs, and that awkward time Martin Luther stayed the night.

Polished wood, velvet chairs, and a cake buffet under €5. This café doesn’t just serve sweets — it serves local lore with whipped cream on top.

These weren’t homes. They were financial flexes. Renaissance courtyards, imperial guests, and a banking dynasty that somehow still holds the keys.

Cobblestone lanes, leaning houses, and canals that once powered mills and now host beer gardens. It’s Augsburg’s softest voice — and its deepest breath.
