Tour description

Start your tour at the Rathausplatz , the heart of Augsburg. Admire the impressive Augsburg Town Hall , a Renaissance masterpiece designed by Elias Holl, with its famous Golden Hall. Nearby, you'll spot the Perlach Tower , a former watchtower offering panoramic views of the city.

 From here, walk to the Alte Börse , a former center of commerce in Augsburg's Golden Age, and then continue to the Fugger-Welser Museum to explore the history of two of Europe's most powerful merchant families.

 Next, stroll through the historic Bäckergasse , once a hub of artisanal activity in medieval Augsburg. Continue on to Little Venice , a picturesque district with charming canals reminiscent of Venice.

 Your next stop is the Brechthaus , the birthplace of playwright Bertolt Brecht, which now serves as a museum honoring his life and works.

 Continue on to the Steinerner Mann , a mysterious medieval stone figure shrouded in legend. From here, you can visit the Sweden Wall , a remnant of Augsburg's fortifications from the Thirty Years' War.

 Next, head to the Leopold Mozart Haus , where Leopold Mozart, father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was born.

 Make your way to the majestic Augsburg Cathedral (Dom) , featuring Romanesque and Gothic elements.

 Finally, end your tour at the peaceful Hofgarten , a baroque garden perfect for relaxing and reflecting on the city's rich history.

 This walking tour covers the essential landmarks of Augsburg, blending history, culture, and the city's architectural gems.
