Bavaria is one of Germany’s most popular travel destinations thanks to its mix of impressive scenery, popular festivals, and distinctive local culture. Well known for itssausages, beer, and leather shorts, Germany’s largest state has that and much more to offer visitors to the region. You’ll also find ancient castles set amid stunning alpine scenery, as well as expansive lakes and snow-covered peaks.
The Oktoberfest is the world's largest Volksfest (beer festival and travelling funfair). Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it is a 16 to 17 day folk festival running from mid- or late September to the first Sunday in October, with more than six million people from around the world attending the event every year.
Ludwig II not only left his mark he also played a huge role in the fame of Bavarian buildings with his famous fairytale palaces known and loved the world over. But that’s not all: a whole array of famous names from the world of architecture from all epochs through the ages have left a legacy of magnificent buildings across the state for us to enjoy.
What Bavaria lacks in shoreline, it makes up for in rivers and lakes. Relaxing or messing about on or in the water, simply enjoying the countryside or sports activities – the white and blue skies reflecting in Bavaria’s rivers and lakes leave no holiday dream unfulfilled.
