Sightseeing in Augsburg and naturally we had to check out the famous golden room at the Town Hall of Augsburg (German: Augsburger Rathaus). This building is one of the most significant secular buildings of the Renaissance style north of the Alps. The golden Hall covers an area of 552 square metres (5,940 sq ft) with a ceiling height of 14 metres (46 ft), it is richly adorned with large doorways, magnificent murals and a coffered ceiling. The interior of the Hall (not completed until 1643) was designed by Johann Matthias Kager. Opening hours Monday – Sunday: 10:00 – 18:00 / Ticket price: 2,50 € Unfortunately the machines were you can buy your tickets are out of order. There is a sign stating to go to the tourist information for tickets. Luckily we found the info that we could buy the ticket online which we did. The beautiful chamber covered in wood and gold takes your breath away and is a must see if you are in Augsburg.
