Munich to Füssen: from city streets to alpine peaks

Füssen is the southern end of the ‘Romantic Road’. It has the fairy tale castle of Neuschwanstein as well as its smaller sister Hohenschwangau nearby, both of which are worth a visit. Make sure you book your tickets in advance! The streets of the city are lined with colourful houses and its town square filled with cafés and restaurants offering local delicacies. It takes pride in its musical heritage and hosts a jazz festival once a year. For those looking for more adventure, it is the ideal starting point for a hiking tour in the nearby Alps.

Munich is located near the snow-capped Bavarian Alps and boasts beautiful nature all around as well as many green spaces and parks within the city. It is a modern metropolis, home to the world-renowned BMW cars, but also honours its traditions, the most well-known being the Oktoberfest, which is an ode to Munich’s many breweries. Those interested in sampling local dishes should head to the Victuals Market or any of the beer gardens, while for a more sophisticated experience several world-class museums await to be visited.
