Camper Van RentalsHiking
Augsburg, one of Germany's oldest cities, reveals over 2,000 years of history through its remarkably preserved architecture and cultural landmarks. Founded by the Romans, the city flourished during the Renaissance when the wealthy Fugger family made it a European financial center. Today, visitors can explore the unique Fuggerei, the world's oldest social housing complex still in use, wander through the medieval old town, and admire the magnificent town hall with its Golden Hall. The city's canal system, historic churches, and puppet theater tradition add to its distinctive character, while local restaurants serve traditional Swabian specialties in atmospheric settings.
