Went on a Augsburg Fugger Tour. Last stop was the Fuggerei. Have always been curious about it and it's history. Quite amazing that it still exists till this day an age and functioning the same way it always has. Absolutely incredible. The grounds are extremely well kept and just a beautiful part of living history. Must go when you visit Augsburg. After the tour you can also visit tiny beer garden by the entrance.

Really cool to hear about how this social housing was started. The people can live here for €1 per year, and just have to be Catholic, pray everyday, and be in need. It’s definitely worth the €8 entrance fee.

It was a wonderful experience visiting the world’s oldest public housing. We went on a weekday morning, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made exploring even more enjoyable. Purchasing the ticket at the entrance was simple, and the site itself was easy to navigate. The area is beautifully maintained, with so much attention to detail that you really feel immersed in its rich history. Walking through the space gives you a true sense of cultural heritage, and it’s both educational and inspiring. I would definitely recommend this visit to anyone interested in culture and history—it’s a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience something truly special.

I visited The Fuggerei on two different trips, once in 2010 and then again in 2023. It's a neat experience with in Augsburg and i definitely recommend checking it out. The history here is interesting for sure and the architecture in germany in general always amazes me. I would recommend tickets in advance, although was not busy when we went. My aunt had picked them up ahead of time for us.

Fuggerei in Augsburg is often touted as a must-see historical site, but unless you’re deeply interested in social housing history, it’s largely underwhelming. The quaint buildings and quiet atmosphere feel more like a sleepy neighborhood than a captivating attraction. The real standout is the WWII bunker—an unexpectedly compelling and haunting part of the visit. It offers a chilling, immersive look into wartime life and far surpasses the rest of the experience. If you’re nearby and curious, stop by for the bunker, but otherwise, it’s probably not worth going out of your way.

A fascinating historical place that is definitely worth visiting. It beautifully combines the charm of the past with the spirit of the present. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the feeling of stepping back in time. The houses and small museums provide a wonderful glimpse into old life, and everything is well organized for visitors. Highly recommended when in Augsburg.

a residential complex from 16th century for the catholic people in Augsburg in need. now also is a museum to visit with church and a bunker. interesting to see how they founded the place and the historical phases which passed.

One of the city landmarks, located in front of a lovely square with café and bars.

built in the 1600's by Elias Holl with the late renaissance architecture. it is the icon of the city with Eagle painting on the front and the pine coat of arm on the Top. impressive architecture and the entrance is free on the Groundfloor where you can visit the war memorials and ancient relics and modules from the City.

Quite a sight to behold from the outside, more so on the inside. Only a €2.50 entry fee for adults to enter the Goldener Saal (Golden Hall), which is very impressive. You can also visit a couple of informative exhibitions for free on the ground floor, including a brief history of Augsburg.

Wow. The golden room is definitely worth visiting. Reasonable €2.5 per person to visit. This beautiful building has a hidden golden nugget inside. Literally. The golden room has over 2.7kg (5Lbs) of gold coating all over the moldings and statues. The history of this over 450 years old building is fascinating, and how it survived and was rebuilt after WW2. The staff dis knowledgeable and super helpful with any questions when visiting. They even offer a folder in English or Spanish for international visitors.

The "golden saal" or the golden hall inside is beautiful and amazing. The entrance fee is cheap especially if you are student, anyway to enter the rathaus is free. You will also have a good view of the square down below from the hall.

Must go inside - build outside looks like any other - but inside it’s amazing. Definitely on list to see

Unfortunately, I didn't had the chance to enter this beautiful piece of history, just outside the views...

I was surprised for the big dimensions of this cathedral, very nice building with many paintings inside, very interesting if you are interested in history and architecture.

It is impossible to express the atmosphere with words. Everyone must feel it for themselves. It's very old and massive cathedral not very far from city hall. It is home to oldest surviving stained glass. The paintings with some dating back to 11th century are authentic. Be aware that it closes at 6.

A very beautiful The Cathedral of Augsburg, founded in the 11th century. Very detailed art works with original stained glass. You can easily spend 45 minutes walking around inside and out. We went on Sunday and did not pay to get in, not sure if there is s fee at all. It is worth the visit.

Medieval Cathedral that was renewed with the Gothic style. 62m high and impressively high with beautiful art glass work, a corridor full of saints/priests Tombs. shrines surrounding the main altar. its the icon of the city.

This cathedral is the most visited site in Augsburg and also it's most important church. It's founded in the 12th century but the original church even dates back to 8th century and it is a Roman Catholic church. Through the years many reconstructions were made and now it has neo-Gothic style as well. It was an interesting and calming experience to walk inside and enjoy the silence and the beauty of the arts inside.

Very old church. One of the must go at Augsburg. Very nicely maintained. Heights of peace when u go inside and sit . Beautiful glass paintings. Can be easily accessed by tram transport .beautiful paints can also be seen inside the church

Loved this cathedral so much. I am not aware of the history but it looks so magnificient and beautiful. This Church is nothing like any other churches in Bavaria. The whole vibe is so pious and pure :) We loved our time spent in here:) You must definitely visit this cathedral:)

I highly recommend visiting this place! It’s a beautiful spot for a walk, with plenty of space to explore and enjoy. I visited during the winter, so it was quite cold, and we didn’t get to see many animals like giraffes, elephants, and a few others. However, the experience was still lovely, and I’m sure it would be even better in warmer seasons when more animals are out. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice smaller zoo. Lots of animals. Fair entry price. Not the biggest and best but great. Advertise feeding times. We where lucky to catch the seelions. Staff was friendly and helpfull at the entrance and shops. Except at the Maki's. Totally rude and unwilling to speak anything other than German. Not understanding each other leads to situations that need to be avoided. And yes I understand you but don't speak it good enouf. I'm not deducting a point for the incident but hope you speak to your staff! Instruction can be given in a friendly manor and in example English.

Such a nice amazing place I loved it 😍 In this season they didn't have many animals because it's winter so they made a light show thing that looks amazing 😍 I recommend going after it's dark because that's when the lights open ❤️❤️❤️

We first went there on a Public holiday and it was impossible. There was no parking, the cue was very very long. I guess one could wait upto two hours. We decided to go back home and reschedule. We went back on a Thursday and it was worth it. Entrance fee was 14 euros for adults. We parked close to the entrance and there was no cue at all. We arrived one at 16:00 and the zoo closes at 17:00 thus we had to rush. It was around feeding time and it was interesting. We enjoyed the walk around the zoo and the animals were looking healthy and well taken care of. Some few walk ways were closed and the restaurant too. We could not see some animals. The play ground is huge and for all age groups though we could not use it due to time. Some animals were already indoor due to the changing weather example giraffe,zebra and Elephant Overall it was a good experience and we shall go back in summer.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Augsburg Zoo, and I must say that it was a truly enjoyable experience. The first thing that struck me was the impeccable maintenance of the zoo. The pathways were clean and well-maintained, and the entire facility had a welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of Augsburg Zoo was undoubtedly the care and attention given to the animals. Most of the animals appeared to be happy and healthy, which is a testament to the dedicated staff who work tirelessly to ensure their well-being. It was heartwarming to see them in their habitats, engaging in natural behaviors and interacting with each other. The zoo offers a wide variety of animal species, ranging from local fauna to exotic creatures from around the world. This diversity was particularly appealing, as it provided a great educational opportunity for children to learn about different species and their habitats. It was a joy to see the fascination in their eyes as they observed these magnificent animals up close. However, I did notice that a few of the exotic animals seemed slightly agitated during my visit. While this was a minor concern, I sincerely hope that the zoo's dedicated team is working to alleviate any distress they may be experiencing. It's essential to prioritize the well-being and comfort of all the animals, and I trust that the zoo is taking appropriate measures to address any issues. The zoo's amenities were also worth mentioning. There were well-placed seating areas and picnic spots throughout the park, providing ample opportunities for families to take a break and enjoy their surroundings. Additionally, the availability of refreshments and snacks made it convenient for visitors to stay energized during their visit. Overall, Augsburg Zoo is a fantastic place to spend a day with the family. The well-maintained facilities, happy and healthy animals, and the educational experiences it offers make it a great choice for both young and old. While there were a few animals that appeared agitated, I believe the zoo is committed to their welfare. I wholeheartedly recommend Augsburg Zoo for a memorable and enriching outing for the whole family.

Really enjoyed my Visit,I didn't know what to expect,Many surprises Particularly Baboons and Buffalo,Bird House and Beavers indoors. Catering was excellent. My ONLY disappointment was the litter lying around.

Augsburg zoo is fun but its not that big and compared to other city zoos its a bit small as well. We were not aboe to looknon Girffe,Elephants or lions but overall it was okay. My kids had fun in kids playing area. You can visit with kids to look animals.

Anyone interested in pupeting will love this place. Take the tour with the tour guide to really learn the ins and outs. Our guide was superb and very knowledgeable. The puppets that have been used in many shows were on display. Definitely a worthwhile visit. don't forget the show it was also very enjoyable

Very beautifully made puppets . These were used to make the old cartoons and story books. The exhibition is small . There was a wall projected some introduction thing at the begining . When I pressed it to see , a guide who was explaining to a group came over and turned if off. I found is offensive and overall didn't find the place that worthy to spend 5 eur . One can probably check out the photos at Google maps for this place .

Perfect getaway from the rain in Augsburg these days. Worth the price for a unique experience.

Extraordinary craftsmanship in every display and so much history in every piece. Would have loved to see a puppet show, but that's for the next adventure. Be sure to sign the guestbook!

Went to explore the puppet museum, which was very impressive, due to the details of each single puppet. Finally enjoyed the "Der Ring der Nibelungen", which was the first performance after Covid lockdown. By the way, it was an excellent show.

Simply magic place to be, both as a kid or adult. This puppet theater is a cultural visit card of Augsburg. It has a huge history and yet every season surprises with the new program. Must see in Augsburg! Puppet theater art mostly vanished in the modern Europe, so this theater is a unique preserve of century old fairy tales traditions. It needs your support, give yourself and your kids this joy. And it will pay back with the vast emotions On the photo the heros of “The story of Little Muck” EN / “Der kleine Muck” DE

It was nice. Museum five star ✨ The play, hm, the kids were in our lap all the time, they couldn't see,and we were somewhere in the middle.

another architectural piece from Elias Holl, built as a watchtower in the Imperialera. 70 m high with St.Peter's church. it's closed totaly for renovation, and it was unfortunate not to could witness the Town panoramic view.

Large tall tower right in the old town square, with a massive clock from each side.

Situated right in the busiest plaza of Augsburg...beautiful with a lot of history..

FYI, closed from October 31 until April. It’s not listed on the tourism website or the google listing. It’s posted right at the entry door. Would love to give it a higher rating, but we drove quite a distance for naught. The rest of the city is nice enough, though.

About 400 steps you need to climp to have the most memorable view over Augsburg. The tower guards can tell you witty anecdotes (they even sell for some euros a small book with interesting details on the tower's hitory), for children they have honorary certificate for climing the tower and with good weather you can see in the South the beautiful Alps. <3

The 70-metre-tall Perlachturm is a tower in the central district of Augsburg, Germany. Originally built as a watchtower in the 10th century, it is nowadays part of an ensemble with the City Hall of Augsburg, a landmark of the Reichsstadt.

A special place to spend a few minutes with our lady, untier of knots. Also the location where Pope Francis spent many a day during his stay in Augsburg.
