Located approximately 30 minutes from Munich, this Bavarian city was once the 'Wall Street of Europe'. Famous for its architecture, 'Augsburg style' became an actual term to describe an abundant style of construction typified by ornate silvers and golds. The Augsburg Rathaus (City Hall) was described as the 'the most significant Renaissance secular building north of the Alps'. It was almost completely destroyed during WWII but has been painstakingly restored to its former glory.
Anyone with an appreciation for classical music will love Augsburg as it was here that Mozart's legacy was founded. Visitors can stop at Mozarthaus, a small museum located in the actual house where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was raised by his father Leopold. As a Bavarian city, Augsburg also has a longstanding beer tradition - be sure to visit the Riegele brewery, one of the world's oldest.
The house of Leopold Mozart (museum) is one of the most attractive sights as well as the Fugger banking centre museum and an impressive number of both Catholic and Protestant churches dating back to the 9th century. Another interesting sight is the famous marionette theatre.
