Want to begin or continue your language education in one of Germany's oldest cities? Register for German courses in Augsburg and explore the rich history and vibrant culture of Bavaria's third-largest city. For a sense of just how far back Augsburg's past stretches, check out the Fuggerei, the world's oldest social settlement that once housed impoverished Catholics. To see Augsburg's past and present intersect, tour the architecturally-stunning Augsburg City Hall. History buffs might also be interested in St. Anne's Church, the facility in which the famed Martin Luther resided during his residence in Augsburg. Students at a German school in Augsburg also enjoy all the entertainment options of any major city, aside from Augsburg's famed historical attractions. The City Fine Arts Museum houses an impressive collection of both local and national artwork, while the Augsburg Zoo is a must-see for any animal lover. Perhaps best of all, Augsburg is located just a short distance from Munich, one of Germany's most exciting cities. Known as "München" to German-speakers, Bavaria's capital city is home to iconic cultural institutions like the beloved Oktoberfest. Whether you'd like to explore one of the largest science museums in the world or just enjoy one of the city's famous white sausages, Munich has something for everyone. When you're finished with your München adventures, head back to the slightly quieter, but certainly no less interesting, city of Augsburg.
