Augsburg

Two-day city trip from Switzerland to medieval Augsburg by rail

Illustration of Augsburg

Railtour Suisse operates a two-day city trip to Augsburg, one of Germany's oldest towns on the Romantic Road. You travel by second-class rail from Switzerland and stay one night in a three-star hotel. The itinerary centers on Augsburg's medieval old town, with its Gothic town hall, cathedral, and the Fuggerei, a remarkable housing complex built in 1521 that remains in use today. The city's UNESCO-listed water system of 22 heritage objects, including the Hercules Fountain, reveals centuries of engineering ingenuity. History buffs explore the Maximilian Museum and Textile and Industry Museum. Beer gardens offer Bavarian meals under chestnut trees, while the Augsburger Dult festival and Brecht Festival provide cultural variety. This compact package suits first-time rail travellers, history lovers, and couples seeking a short break by train.
