Where vacation becomes something more

What do we want from a vacation? Relaxation, adventure, inspiration, surprises, meeting new people and much more. Most of all, though, we want to come back with memories made. In Bavaria, Germany’s biggest and most visited state, travelers can make long lasting memories while exploring some of Europe’s most stunning landscapes and diverse history and culture that hide unexpected treasures.

Delightful no matter the season, Bavaria is prepared to indulge visitors any time of the year. While summer is the time for beer gardens (and trust us, there’s no place like a Bavarian beer garden on a balmy evening!) or exploring the beauty of the region’s lakes and mountains, winter gets cozy with some of the best Christmas markets in Europe, warming up in spas or, for the more active types, excellent winter sports offerings not to be missed.
