How The Month Feels
January gives Augsburg a muted rhythm, with the Fuggerei and Schaezlerpalais doing most of the work. In the city center, the streets feel brief, purposeful, and made for quick indoor stops.
What To Lock In Early
Book the Schaezlerpalais and any time-sensitive museum visits first. Leave the Fuggerei, Basilika St. Ulrich und Afra, and city-center walks open until the day you see the weather.
How to do it
