Review:
One of the largest and oldest cities in Bavaria, Germany, Augsburg was founded by the Romans in 15th century BC and has been at the heart of European trade ever since. The diverse architecture in the city center tells the story of the city’s importance throughout history. It includes numerous medieval guild houses, the beautiful 11th-century St. Mary's cathedral and the ornate onion-domed Sankt Ulrich und Afra abbey. Some of the most significant Renaissance buildings are the stately Augsburger Town Hall and its Golden Hall. The Fuggerhaüser and the Fuggerei – the banking center and home of the powerful banking family – are witnesses of their wealth. The city is a treasure trove of art and culture, which you can find in the old palaces, churches, and museums.
