Why take this tour?
Be prepared to explore 2000 years of history in only two hours! Discover the past and present of one charming place in a pleasant walking tour in the old city of Augsburg. Augsburg was founded as a Roman Colony in 15 B.C., and grew to become the Capital of Raetia, and a province in the Roman Empire. Over time, it expanded into a trade center between Italy and Central Europe, reaching all the way to Turkey. Today, Augsburg is the capital of the region of Swabia in Bavaria and Germany’s third oldest city. It is famous for being home of the Fugger family, the German “Medici’s” and one of the wealthiest families in history and where the Fuggers founded the Fuggerei, the oldest social settlement in world history. Culturally, it is famous as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s father, as well as the prolific writer Berthold Brecht.
