What a great experience! We did the Western-themed room, and it was very engaging and great fun! Much better than some other rooms I've tried, it was challenging and very well thought out. The owners were very friendly and they explained everything in English too. I'm definitely going to come back to do the other room!

We were just passing and popped in out of curiosity. We were delighted with the frescoes in the entry chapel , the light and airy church with curiously slope-roofed side aisle and old paintings of bible scenes

Augsburg's 17th-century city hall, recently restored following severe damage in World War II, is the architectural masterpiece of this ancient Roman city.

Sightseeing in Augsburg and naturally we had to check out the famous golden room at the Town Hall of Augsburg (German: Augsburger Rathaus). This building is one of the most significant secular buildings of the Renaissance style north of the Alps. The golden Hall covers an area of 552 square metres (5,940 sq ft) with a ceiling height of 14 metres (46 ft), it is richly adorned with large doorways, magnificent murals and a coffered ceiling. The interior of the Hall (not completed until 1643) was designed by Johann Matthias Kager. Opening hours Monday – Sunday: 10:00 – 18:00 / Ticket price: 2,50 € Unfortunately the machines were you can buy your tickets are out of order. There is a sign stating to go to the tourist information for tickets. Luckily we found the info that we could buy the ticket online which we did. The beautiful chamber covered in wood and gold takes your breath away and is a must see if you are in Augsburg.

The world's oldest social settlement, this estate houses 200 impoverished Catholic tenants.
Reviewed By 549JenB - London, United Kingdom
This is a lovely place to visit for everyone. It's the oldest social housing development in the world dating back to the 16th Century and was the concept of Jakob Fugger. It is still inhabited today and the people lucky enough to be allowed to live there pay 88 cents in rent and must be Catholics and willing to pray for the Fugger family. You can go into a ground floor apartment as it looks today as well as another one which looks like it did 200yrs ago. There is also a museum with lots of information about the Fugger family and a restaurant/cafe.

A great experience. Climbing the stairs of the tower was a great experience, it really felt I was back in time. Once at the top the views of the city were magnificent. I for sure recommend you visit!

I (Carmen) grew up in Augsburg and the Puppenkiste was part of my upbringing. Now I'm sad (though it's not surprising) to say that all plays are only in German, some even in native tongue but all are amazing. When I was younger there was a tour offered and I am not sure if it is still around but if it is, just to get a view behind the scenes, I'd go for that any time again. Last time we went, as my husband is english/french, we only passed it and I showed him the outside. It's also close to the 'Rotes Tor' water tower and open air theater which is only on in summer. There are several tram and bus stations near by which can get you there.
9. Juedisches Museum Augsburg Schwaben
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 33 reviews
The oldest Jewish Museum in the Federal Republic of Germany sees itself as a historical museum that draws references from Jewish history in Bavarian Swabia to current social issues. It is a place where aspects of migration, integration, homeland and culture are discussed from the perspective of a minority. And it is a place where it is shown that diversity is neither a threat nor an enrichment, but normality. Our permanent exhibition is housed in the Halderstraße synagogue building in the city centre. A tour of the exhibition also includes a look into the magnificent synagogue, inaugurated in 1917, which is used by the Jewish community. Our second location in the former Kriegshaber synagogue, the oldest preserved synagogue in Bavarian Swabia, was opened in 2014 and shows in a very special way that the Jewish history of Augsburg cannot be told without that of the rural communities in Swabia.

...doesn't sound that attractive, doesn't it? Industry either! But then you find this hidden juwel that gives you an insight in the development of the textiles industries in Augsburg, some ideas about how different clothes are made, the importance of patterns and an insight in the development of unions, the Nazi time in Augsburg, from the beginning to the contemporary. It was a very pleasant experience.
