Augsburg – busy center
of Bavarian Swabia (3)
Augsburg, the oldest city in
Bavaria, was founded by Roman troops over 2,000 years
ago. Since its economic heyday in the 15th and 16th century, the city has become an
important gateway for trade
and travel to Southern Europe. The wealthy Augsburg
merchants not only imported
the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, but also brought Italy's
architecture to the Lech. The
Renaissance city hall and the
splendid fountains, the Fuggerei and the Maximilianstrasse are still impressive
reminders of Augsburg's golden era of the Renaissance.

rent (excl. heating) for an
apartment is still the nominal
value of one Rhine guilder
(currently 88 cent). The Fuggerei is a "city within the city",

Bavarian Holiday Roads
Top-notch for golfers
Three routes stand out
above the rest.
Bavaria is best for teeing off.
Bavaria's Holiday Routes are an
ideal guideline for your travel
planning. These routes connect
historical cities with romantic
castles in fascinating landscapes.
The Romantic Road
The triad of nature, culture and
hospitality has been the trademark of the Romantic Road for
over 50 years. Running from
the Main River to the Alps, it is
Germany's best known and
most popular tourist route.
The name Romantic Road
expresses what many guests
feel while seeing medieval
towns, historic monuments
and breathtaking castles: fascination and the sense of going
back in time.
From Würzburg to Füssen, the
Romantic Road opens up a
wealth of European history, art
and culture to travelers. On
the way from north to south,
the landscape changes from
river valleys, fertile agricultural
land, forests and meadows to
dramatic mountain scenery.
The Romantic Road experience covers 350 km from the
vineyards of Franconia to the
Alps, from the Prince Bishop's
Residence in Würzburg to the
world-famous silhouette of
Castle Neuschwanstein, the
stone-built dream of "Fairytale
King" Ludwig II, inspired by
Richard Wagner.

medicine, medical technology
and pharmaceutics are constantly updated and made available to

the patients. An extensive range
of services is available for the
patient and the people accompanying him or her.
Munich Airport Clinic –
Europe's first airport
clinic (1)
The AirportClinic M opened at
Munich Airport in November
2002. It is the realization of
an innovative "full service concept" for patients from Germany and abroad. The AirportClinic M aims to intensify
"medical tourism" from foreign
countries – offering diverse
packages for international
patients and their families.
These individually designed
packages can include diagnosis, treatment, surgery, hotel
accommodations, transfer
to a partner clinic for long-term
treatment and sightseeing
programs for families. Well
known medical specialists,
state-of-the-art medical technology and a comfortable
interior design guarantee the
best individual medical care
with the highest level of
quality.
What is also unique is the emphasis on the interdisciplinary
approach: Thanks to the inte-
gration of the fields of orthopedics, hand surgery, cosmetic
plastic surgery, ophthalmology,
otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose
and throat) and other specialized fields, the AirportClinic M
offers a comprehensive concept for inpatient and outpatient care including special
fields such as radiology, gynecology, cardiology, gastroenterology and pediatrics.
The international flair of
Munich Airport is omnipresent
in the AirportClinic M. It provides an effective, organized
hospital stay and – for specialized surgery or therapeutic
methods – has a network of
experts in Munich and the surrounding area, which includes
the Starnberg Clinic and the
Augsburg Clinic (Bavarian
Medical Group).
