Where you stay in Augsburg depends on whether you want to be inside the medieval old town or near the station and congress halls. The center puts every major sight within walking distance, while the area around the Hauptbahnhof and Kongresshalle is better for day trips to Munich and business events. See the Augsburg neighborhoods guide for a fuller picture of each district, and start from the Augsburg city guide for the complete series.
Where to Stay in Augsburg: Old Town (Innenstadt)
The Innenstadt around Maximilianstraße and Rathausplatz is the most convenient base, with the Fuggerei, town hall and cathedral all within a 10-minute walk. Rooms cost more here, but you save on tram fares and time, and the Christmas market is on your doorstep in December. For when to come, check the Augsburg weather by month and best time to visit guides.
