Top 15 Must-Do Activities in Augsburg, Germany
Augsburg, the third oldest German city after Neuss and Trier, was established by the Romans in 15 BC. The city has historically been a significant hub for European trade, but it experienced its peak during the Early Modern Age when the Fugger and Welser banking families accumulated immense wealth. This prosperity is reflected in Augsburg’s architecture, including the first Renaissance buildings north of the Alps, such as the exquisite City Hall and the lavish residence of the Fugger family.
