Explore Bavaria

Get to know Bavaria with Viator

Germany’s largest state has a mind―and a culture―all of its own. Bavaria is the land of beer and sausages, Oktoberfest and lederhosen, Disney-esque castles and storybook lakes. Munich and Nuremberg, Bavaria’s principal cities, are popular bases for visitors who want to explore the medieval villages of the Romantic Road and fairytale-worthy Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace. Many visitors also head into the Bavarian Alps for high-peak hikes, skiing, and spectacular views.
