Augsburg suits groups exploring Bavarian history, with the Fuggerei and a UNESCO-listed water system in the old town. The homes are listed outside the centre rather than in the old town, so you travel in each day. Most sleep around six, and none has a garden or pool.
Augsburg's old town holds the Fuggerei, built by the Fugger family between 1516 and 1523 and called the world's first social housing settlement, and a water management system listed by UNESCO in 2019. The Perlach tower, raised to 70 metres by Elias Holl in the early 1600s, has 258 steps to its viewing platform. In the evening, Maximilianstraße and the streets around the theatre have plenty of restaurants, cafés, bars and clubs. The homes are not in this centre: they are listed outside it, so plan on travelling in for sightseeing and evenings. Most sleep around six with three bedrooms, few sleep more than eight, and none has a garden.

Munich Airport is about an hour from Augsburg by car via the A92, A99 and A8. By train, change at Munich-Pasing or Munich Hauptbahnhof and allow about 1 hour 40 minutes. With the homes outside the centre, a car makes trips into town simpler.
May brings the annual Mozart Festival, marking the city's link with Leopold Mozart, who was born here. The Perlach tower opens from April to early November. The Christkindlesmarkt, held for more than 500 years, spreads across several sites, and the Plärrer folk festival has run since 1878.
It is the social housing settlement the Fugger family built between 1516 and 1523, often called the world's first. It remains one of the best-known housing estates anywhere and is among the city's top sights.
Munich. Augsburg's own small airport has had no scheduled or charter flights since 2005, and the drive from Munich Airport takes about an hour. By rail you change in Munich, taking around 1 hour 40 minutes.
