Bavaria is captivating thanks to the exciting contrast it makes between tradition and modernity – from opulent buildings to historical monuments through to contemporary art and hip festivals.

On your culture trip, you will experience Bavaria in its best light: Stroll through the picturesque old town of Regensburg, for example, or visit Bamberg Cathedral. Due to their well-maintained historical urban landscapes, both towns are classed as UNESCO world heritage sites.

The 45 state castles, fortresses and residences in Bavaria combine superb architecture with history: Visit the splendid buildings of King Ludwig II and his fairytale castle at Neuschwanstein or visit the longest castle complex in the world in Burghausen.
