Considering the InterCityHotel Augsburg in Augsburg?
A VT member wrote the following comment about visiting Augsburg:
261 steps and a great view by King_Golo
The Perlachturm, located just next to Augsburg's town hall, probably provides the best view over the city. 261 narrow steps lead you up to the top from where you can enjoy a 360° view over the rooftops and houses.
The entrance fee of 0,50 Euro has to be paid on top.
