Itinerary
- Days 1 - 3
Munich
You'll start in Munich and get a real feel for Bavaria's capital right away. Head to Marienplatz to catch the Glockenspiel in action, then walk over to Nymphenburg Palace where you can spend time exploring the grand Baroque architecture and its extensive gardens. Later in the afternoon, make your way to the English Garden and grab a beer at one of the garden's beer halls while taking in the park's massive size and atmosphere. It's one of the world's largest urban parks, so there's plenty to see and do here.

Nuremberg
Medieval Nuremberg is your focus today. Start with the castle, which sits high above the city and gives you good views from up there. After that, walk through the Old Town where half-timbered houses line cobblestone streets, and you'll get a real sense of how the city looked centuries ago. Before you head back, visit the Documentation Center at the Nazi Party Rally Grounds to understand the city's more complex historical chapters. It's heavy material but important context for understanding Nuremberg.

Bamberg
Bamberg's appeal comes from its canals and medieval layout, which you'll see pretty quickly once you start walking around. The UNESCO-listed Old Town has half-timbered houses that photograph well, and the cathedral is worth your time for its medieval sculptures and interior. After lunch, take a walk through Little Venice, which is basically a network of colorful fisherman's houses along the water. The whole area has a quieter charm compared to larger cities, so you can take your time and really absorb the atmosphere here.

Wurzburg
Wurzburg sits along the Main River and gives you a different pace than the smaller towns. The Baroque Residence is the main draw here with its UNESCO World Heritage status, intricate frescoes, and manicured gardens worth several hours. From there, head down to the Alte Mainbrucke, a historic bridge lined with statues that offers solid river views and a nice place to grab coffee or lunch. If you still have energy, climb up to Fortress Marienberg for panoramic views of the city and surrounding vineyards.

Rothenburg
Rothenburg ob der Tauber feels like stepping into a storybook, and the medieval town walls are the main reason. Walk around them for panoramic views and a sense of how the town was protected historically. The Marktplatz has the Gothic-Renaissance Town Hall, and it's the heart of where locals and tourists converge. Don't miss Plonlein, which is probably the most photographed corner in town, and for good reason as it captures that medieval character perfectly. The cobblestone streets and overall preservation make it feel like you've traveled back a few centuries.

Regensburg
Regensburg shows you layers of history in one city. Cross the Stone Bridge over the Danube River, which has been there for centuries and still connects the Old Town to the opposite bank. St. Peter's Cathedral dominates the skyline with its Gothic style, and you should go inside to see the scale of it. The UNESCO World Heritage Old Town has historic buildings packed closely together, and walking along the riverbank gives you good context for how important the Danube was to the city's development. Budget time to just wander and take in the mix of Roman, medieval, and modern elements here.

Munich
Your final day brings you back to Munich to wrap up the trip. Spend time revisiting places you loved earlier, or use this day to find spots you missed the first time around. Maybe grab lunch at a cafe you noticed before, or walk through neighborhoods you didn't get to explore thoroughly. This is your chance to sit with what you've seen across Bavaria and think about how each town and city added to the overall experience. By evening you'll be ready to head out, but you'll have had a proper goodbye to the capital.
