Augsburg with children: Exciting city trip in Bavaria
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Fugger and Welser Experience Museum. There, the kids got a "magic book" and a puzzle booklet to complete as they explored the four floors. The museum explains the trading empires of the Fugger and Welser families

Highlights: Both the kids and I learned a lot! It was also very entertaining. The concept is so educational and entertaining that I am absolutely thrilled!", "They installed the system of money transfer north of the Alps, and they also had their fingers in the development of the postal system." ✨
