 *'''Train'''
 If you arrive in Munich at the airport then you will need to take the S-Bahn S1 or S8 to the ''Hauptbahnhof'' (main train station), a 45 min ride, before you can catch a train bound for Augsburg.
-At least once per hour a ''Regional Bahn'' train leaves from Munich's ''Hauptbahnhof'' (Main Train Station) towards Augsburg. The ride last about 50 min.  Plan at least 2 h in total from Munich Airport to Augsburg (as you can see taking a bus or private transfer will be much faster). It is best to purchase a ''Bayern-Ticket'' (Bavaria Ticket) from one of the ticket machines located in the train station.  A ''Bayern-Ticket'' allows one (along with up to four other friends) to travel within Bavaria using all '''regional trains''' (no InterCity Express) and city transportations (trams, buses, etc.) from the time of purchase until 3 a.m. the following day.  The ''Bayern-Ticket'' costs €29 when purchased from the ticket machines and €31 when bought from the counter.

 *'''Augsburger Puppenkiste''' Modern and classic fairy tales are played at the Augsburger Puppenkiste . The stars on strings are so endearing and the sets so elaborate that even non-German speakers (and non-kids) will enjoy a show. It's often sold out; make advance reservations or check with the tourist office for remaining tickets.

 A good part of Augsburg's night life takes place in Maximilianstraße and the historic district right beneath the Maximilianstraße. There is great diversity in the type of clubs/bars, ranging from disco to student bars. It is a great idea to go see more than one place and find out which is the most comforting to you.
