Augsburg
Augsburg is a lovely city of about 300,000 people in the German Bundesland (Federal State) of Bavaria (German: Bayern).
Get in
Augsburg is most easily reached via bus or private transfer from Munich Airport (German: München Flughafen). Bus
A few times during the day Lufthansa offers a bus service from the Munich Airport to Augsburgs main train station (which is near the city center). This trip last about an hour and cost about 15 Euro for a one-way ticket.Private Transport
A private transfer service (like Supershuttle in the U.S.) is also a good alternative. Costs are about 25 Euro per person per way. The main advantage is they pick you up at the time you want and drop you off in the augsburg area where you want. Examples:

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), an almost 45 minute 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 forty-five to fifty minutes. Plan at least two hours in total from Munich Airport to Augsburg (as you can see taking a bus or private transfer will be much faster). The best bet is 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 (for example, trams, buses, etc.) from the time of purchase until 3 a.m. the following day. The Bayern-Ticket costs 24 Euro when purchased from the ticket machines and 26 Euro when bought from the counter.
Get around
Augsburg has a small but efficient transportation system with four main streetcar (German: Straßenbahn) lines and several buslines which cover the whole urban and suburban areas. These lines run Monday through Sunday from around 5 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday evenings a "Night Bus" runs from 12 p.m. until 3 a.m. making limited stops along all Augsburg stations.
If you purchase a Bayern-Ticket (Bavaria Ticket) then you will be covered during your stay in Augsburg and will not be required to purchase additional tickets for using the Augsburg transportation system. However, if you did not purchase a Bayern-Ticket then you must purchase a ticket (1 Euro) and stamp it each time you enter a streetcar or bus. Riding without a ticket (German: schwarzfahren, "black driving") will get you a 40 Euro fee and a visit with the police.
