Chronicles of Augsburg
Augsburg, founded in 15 BC by the Romans, has a rich history dating back over 2,000 years. The city's medieval architecture is dominated by the stunning Augsburg Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece built in the 11th century. Augsburg's industrial heritage is reflected in its well-preserved canals and historic textile mills. In the 16th century, the city became a major centre for the Protestant Reformation, and its cultural identity continues to be shaped by this legacy. Today, Augsburg is a thriving city with a unique blend of old and new.

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.
