📍 Destination Overview
Bavaria is the largest federal state of south-eastern Germany and the image of romantic Germany—the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle, green Alps and emerald lakes. Munich is famed for the Oktoberfest and art museums, and Nuremberg keeps a Christmas market. At the foot of the Alps, lakes and peaks mirror one another with year-round hiking, while white sausage and beer define the cuisine.

Town stroll
Lose yourself in Rothenburg.
Bavaria is at its roavable best from May to October: Alpine hikes, lake boating, cycling and castle tours all shine, with Oktoberfest popping in Munich in October. Come in December for glowing Christmas markets and baking aromas, or in mountain winter for skiing. Base yourself in Munich, then strike west to Füssen for Neuschwanstein, south to Königssee and Zugspitze, and spare a day for a medieval gem like Rothenburg — all doable by car or the Bayern-Ticket rail pass. Prices sit a notch above southern Europe, cities pricier and towns kinder, with accommodation vanishing fast around Oktoberfest and Christmas. Powerhouse scenery plus deep tradition make Bavaria the state Germany most rewards a visit to.
