About Bavaria
Bavaria is Germany's largest state and a tech hub that balances modern innovation with deep-rooted traditions. The region is known for its landscapes, with the Alps framing the horizon and the Romantic Road winding through towns. Its cities combine a mix of high-tech industries, particularly in Munich, with cultural landmarks, festivals, and, of course, beer gardens. The love for tradition can be seen in the well-preserved architecture and the numerous local customs still celebrated today. Tourists flock here for the views, the famous Oktoberfest, and the opportunity to explore fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein, which might not actually have any fairies but definitely has tourists in long lines.
Who it's for
Great for those who appreciate a mix of technology and tradition, as well as outdoor activities among scenery. Not ideal for travelers seeking a fast-paced urban experience or those who dislike crowds during peak seasons, especially around major festivals.
Getting around
Public transport: Good
- Public transport is good, with efficient trains and buses connecting cities and towns
- Munich’s city center can be navigated in about twenty minutes on foot
- The Romantic Road can be explored by car or bus, depending on your itinerary
- Schwangau is a bus ride from Füssen station, not a long walk
