Fodor's Expert Review Perlachturm
Augsburg
Church
This plastered brick bell tower has foundations dating to AD 989, when it was constructed as a watchtower, and is now part of the Church of St. Peter of Perlach, built in the 1600s. Climb the 258 stairs to the top of the 230-foot tower for gorgeous views of Augsburg and the countryside. Just be sure to time it to avoid being beneath the bells when they chime.
