Nestled in the south of Germany, Bavaria is one of the iconic places in Germany to visit. Best of all, there’s a huge mix of the best places in Bavaria to visit that are perfect for any type of traveller. Filled with palaces, medieval villages and vast castles, it’s the perfect region of Germany for a road trip.

We’ve loved it every single time we’ve visited Bavaria. Honestly, it’s just stunning and well worth the drives from cities like Munich or Nuremberg. 

So, to help you get the most out of your trip around Bavaria, take a look at some of the gems we love most in this area of Germany. 

Have the most amazing time exploring Bavaria. 

1.) Neuschwanstein Castle

Probably the most famous castle in the world, Neuschwanstein Castle is a spot you can’t miss in Bavaria. 

Located atop a rocky crag overlooking Bavarian Alps, King Ludwig II’s neo-Romanesque castle stands tall overlooking the region and it’s so impressive to see.

One of the easiest ways to visit is by booking this incredible Neuschwanstein Castle tour that departs from Munich. Not only will it take out the faff of organising a car, parking and tickets – they’ll also get you inside Linderhof Palace, too. 

Just make sure to book these castle tickets before arriving in Munich. This way, you won’t miss out if all the places are gone. 

Honestly, it’s just breathtaking and you’ll totally love it. It is even said that the castles of Walt Disney are inspired by the beauty of Neuschwanstein Castle

Now, remember, after being dropped off (or parked) at the parking area, you will have one of three options to get to Neuschwanstein Castle. The cheapest way to do this is by foot – but do remember it is an uphill ramble.

Secondly, you can hop on the bus that will take you very near to the castle itself. In my opinion, this is the best option and it’s all really easy.

Finally, you can take a horse and carriage – though, this can arduous if you’re short on time. 

Oh, and don’t forget, nearby, is Linderhof Palace which is the hunting lodge of the king.

You can combine tours depending on your preference when you visit the place.
