The Property — City Apartment
The City Apartment is a no-fuss, self-catering option in a quiet residential street a 10-minute walk from Augsburg’s Old Town. The lobby is more functional than welcoming – a small desk, a key safe, and a noticeboard. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, private base and don't need hotel services or character. Think of it as a well-maintained short-term let rather than a traditional hotel.
Chronicles of Augsburg
Augsburg was founded in 15 BC as a Roman military camp called Augusta Vindelicorum, making it one of Germany's oldest cities. Medieval prosperity came from textile trade and banking, led by the Fugger family, who built Europe’s first social housing complex, the Fuggerei, in 1521. The city centre mixes Renaissance gabled houses, the 11th-century cathedral, and the Rococo Schaezlerpalais. Today it’s a lively, medium-sized city with a strong cultural scene and a reputation for engineering, home to MAN Diesel & Turbo and the world’s largest textile mill museum.

Top Attractions in Augsburg
💡 The Fugger Chapel is a hidden masterpiece — check the opening times as it’s only accessible during guided tours (free with church entry, usually 11am and 2pm Sat). The cloister garden is a peaceful spot rarely visited.
💡 The cloister opens via a side door off the main church – easy to miss. Look for the tiny plaque marking Luther's room. The organ is often played during lunchtime (12:30-13:00) on Saturdays.
💡 Pair with the main puppet theatre show (tickets from €12) — the museum explains the craft, then you see it live. The museum is kid-friendly but not overwhelming.
💡 Go on a weekday morning (10-12) to avoid tour groups. The main staircase itself is worth the climb. No photography with flash allowed inside the hall.
💡 Visit early morning around 8am before the shops open – you get the square nearly empty. The fountain's four statues represent Augsburg's rivers: Lech, Wertach, Singold, and Brunnenbach.
💡 The Japanese garden has a small teahouse that opens for ceremonies on Sundays (check schedule). The herb garden is great for picnics — but bring your own blanket. Arrive early to avoid crowds on weekends.
💡 Free entry applies only to the outdoor gardens. The greenhouses cost 3 euros but are worth it for the tropical section. Best in May-June when roses bloom.
💡 Visit the bomb shelter bunker turned museum — it’s small but gives a stark look at WWII in Augsburg. Go early morning to avoid tour groups.
