Augsburg Botanical Garden is a calm, well-kept green space south of the old town, with themed beds, glasshouse plants, and a Japanese garden among its highlights. It is a good reminder that Augsburg is not only Renaissance fountains and Fugger history.
The garden is most rewarding in the growing season, when the outdoor beds and trees give it colour and shade. Pair it with the nearby zoo or use it as a slower break from the dense historic centre.
