4 days in Munich & Hohenschwangau
Visit the capital of Bavaria, Munich, at your own pace, and enjoy also a day out to Hohenschwangau to explore its beautiful germanic castles.
Munich
Munich has long been known as the ‘city of art and beer’. The city also boasts some world-class museums focusing on topics as diverse as Oktoberfest, porcelain and BMW cars. And if that weren't enough, there are still royal palaces to explore – the legacy of 700 years of rule by a single family, the Wittelsbachs. There are also famous beer halls (Hofbrauhaus, etc.)
Neuschwanstein
King Ludwig II planned this fairy-tale pile himself, with the help of a stage designer rather than an architect. He envisioned it as a giant stage on which to recreate the world of Germanic mythology, inspired by the operatic works of his friend Richard Wagner. The most impressive room is the Sängersaal (Minstrels’ Hall), whose frescos depict scenes from the opera Tannhäuser.
