About this activity

Augsburg was the banking capital of the Renaissance — the Fuggers financed emperors from these streets.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Augsburg on foot, following phone-based riddles from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Solve clues at the Augsburger Dom, the Brechthaus, and the Augustusbrunnen — three landmarks spanning Augsburg's Roman foundations, Renaissance wealth, and literary legacy

• Fully self-paced with no time limit — start when you arrive and take as long as the city deserves

• Works for friends, families, and colleagues; observation tasks and photo challenges keep all groups engaged

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

The Fugger family funded the Holy Roman Empire from Augsburg — the trail finds what they left behind.
