Established by the Romans more than 2000 years ago, Augsburg is one of the oldest and most historic cities in Germany. It was one of Europe's most significant economic hubs during the 16th century, and today it's the largest city on the popular tourist route known as the Romantic Road. There's plenty to see and do here whether you come on a day trip from Munich or decide to stay for an entire week, including stunning architecture, unique museums home to ancient masks and historic puppets, and the chance to visit the oldest social housing complex in the world.
