I’ve spent years exploring one of Germany’s hidden gems – here’s why I keep coming back Fairytale castles; sprawling forests; breathtaking views of the Alps.
Then there’s the southern section, which extends into the German Alps and is bordered by Austria, where you’ll find the stereotypical vision of Bavaria you have in your mind: Lederhosen, Bierzelt, and Biergarten.
Having made the trip many times, I’ve hopped on flights from Manchester, Leeds, Gatwick, and Stansted to major cities including Munich and Nuremberg, with fares starting from £25.
Spanning the southeast of Germany, Bavaria is the largest state in the country by land area.
Munich, the capital, was heavily bombed during World War II, but is now a thriving tech hub looking to the future, home to both startups and established companies.
