Augsburg
Augsburg is a smallish, unhurried metropolis in the middle of several European traffic connections. Not only is it situated close to modern roads but also directly on the Romantic Road that runs through Germany from the river Main to the Alps. Being more than 2,000 years old, Augsburg is full of small romantic and historic places.
Let’s just name a few examples: Fuggerei, Brecht House, Mozart House and Schaezler Palace (among many others).
