1 Day in Augsburg
A highly compressed, fiercely efficient route tackling the absolute core of the city's Renaissance wealth and history. You will stand in the massive ceremonial halls of bankers and walk the quiet streets of the world's oldest social housing. It completely skips the outskirts, forcing you to engage heavily with the central mediaeval grid.

3 Days in Augsburg
A well-paced exploration that successfully balances the aggressive architectural grandeur of the centre with the deep natural elements surrounding it. You will dedicate time to highly ornate art collections before retreating into the heavy shade of the urban forests. It allows you to actually understand the historical water systems rather than just glancing at a canal.
