About this place
Augsburg is a historic Bavarian city of about 300,000 people, located roughly 80 km northwest of Munich. One of Germany's oldest cities, it was a self-governing "free imperial city" for centuries and today serves as the cultural and administrative heart of Bavarian Swabia.
Despite sitting in Munich's shadow, Augsburg blends a rich Roman and medieval heritage with a youthful, modern energy — it is a lively university town with traditional beer gardens, diverse shopping, and a walkable historic center. The flat terrain and integrated tram network make it easy to explore, and its UNESCO-listed water management system extends sightseeing well beyond the core.

Things to Do
- Catch a Bundesliga match — FC Augsburg play top-tier German soccer at the WWK Arena, south of the center; reachable by tram.
- Explore by bike — Flat terrain and paths along the Lech and Wertach rivers make cycling an ideal way to discover the city and its UNESCO-listed water management sites in the suburbs.
- Stroll the Altstadt shops — The pedestrian zone offers retail chains, but head downhill to the old town for unique boutiques, souvenirs, and local beer gift boxes.
- Sample local food — Try the city's famous plum cake (Zwetschgendatschi), the Bosna sausage-in-a-bun, or hand-made Kässpatzen with melted mountain cheese.
- Visit the Stadtmarkt — The city market on Fuggerstraße or Annastraße is a popular lunch spot with budget-friendly Bavarian, Greek, and Asian stalls (closed Sundays).

Planning Tips
- Use a Bayern-Ticket — Available from 09:00 on weekdays (midnight on weekends), it covers regional trains and all Augsburg trams and buses for one person plus up to four friends.
- Validate every ride — Each time you board a tram or bus, you must stamp a new single ticket; riding without one carries a €60 fine.
- Flixbus is an alternative — Intercity buses serve Augsburg and may provide a simpler connection than the train-airport transfer.
- Bike rentals — Available from Stadtwerke stations and local bike shops; a great option given the city's flat layout.
- Check Sunday closures — The Stadtmarkt food stalls are closed Sundays; plan grocery or market visits on other days.
