Hello! My husband and I will be going to Bavaria during last week of November and first week of December. What are some of your favorite towns/cities to stay and what are your favorite things to do? We are hoping to visit some Christmas markets and my husband enjoys reading/learning about WWII history.
Thanks in advanced for any ideas!
Nuremberg would be a good choice for both interests. I would visit Rothenburg odT as a day trip and perhaps Bamberg.
Altho not in Bavaria, Salzburg, just across the border, in another good choice for the markets and as experiencing a differen country.
Make sure you understand the distances involved, Bavaria is a large state - well over twice the size of Belgium and nearly as big as Austria. At that time of year it could take dawn to dusk to travel from one end to the other.
Regensburg
Castle St. Emmeran you can see
- Palace Tour of State Rooms and Cloister
- Treasury and Carriage Museum (The Carriage Hall)
Both, I liked it so much!
Nearby „ BRAUHAUS AM SCHLOSS“ (restaurant).
