Augsburg city tour about Fugger, Medici and Renaissance art

It was a dazzling epoch: The Renaissance stands for a Europe-wide blossoming of art and science, but also for technical and social progress. Elites like the Medici in Florence revolutionized art, culture and the economy.As the most important Renaissance city north of the Alps, Augsburg is also an outstanding example of this period: with its art-loving merchant families, the city architect Elias Holl or the works of Albrecht Dürer.This city tour shows how the culture of that time was influenced and changed by the Renaissance. The subsequent visit to the Fugger and Welser Adventure Museum illustrates this era using the example of Augsburg's two most influential families.
