Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the old town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from July to September; quietest in January, April and May.

Augsburg's June days now average 23.7°C, 4.2°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 4 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

Fly into Munich (MUC), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Munich.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Augsburg is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Germany: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

What Augsburg is like

Augsburg is a lovely metropolitan city of 300,000 people and around 885,000 in the urban area (2023) in the German Bundesland (Federal State) of Bavaria (German: Bayern). Some 60 km northwest of Munich, it is one of the oldest German cities. It boasts a rich history and has developed a modern urban vibe. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Brechthaus, Auf dem Rain 7. The birthplace of the writer Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956). More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Augsburger Puppenkiste. Modern and classic fairy tales are played at the Augsburger Puppenkiste. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Augsburg Central Train Station (Hauptbahnhof). Augsburg sits on the Munich–Stuttgart corridor. The faster Munich–Nuremberg line via Ingolstadt still means only some ICEs from Munich stop here. More on Wikivoyage
Staying safe: Augsburg is very safe; in 2017, it was ranked as the second safest German city with over 200,000 inhabitants. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Augsburg is in Germany, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
