Day 1 - Individual arrival in Augsburg
Staying in the Roman provincial capital 'Augusta Vindelicorum”. Example of hotel: Hotel Bayerischer Wirt in AugsburgDay 2 - From Augsburg to Landsberg, approx. 50 km
The city name Augsburg decreases to the Roman provincial center Augusta Vindelicorum, which was founded in 15 B.C. under the rule of Emperor Augustus. Augsburg's popularity however, was established with its role as a Fugger town. Therefore, a visit of the Fuggerei, which is the world's oldest project for social housing still in use today, is almost a must.
