Cultural tour along the Romantic Road

Exploring Medieval Towns, Fairytale Castles, and Alpine Beauty on a Cultural Tour


The Romantic Road, a former trade road during the Middle Ages, Germany's best known and most popular tourist route still retains much of its medieval character. The route often winds through forgotten sections of countryside, and connects Bavaria’s most beautiful towns and villages.

The best known amongst them are Würzburg with its Baroque style and wine, medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the small but enchanting town of Dinkelsbühl and Augsburg, the city of silver and the Fugger family. The fairytale castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau as well as the Alps complete the charm of the Romantic Road. Get to see all of this beauty on our cultural tour along the Romantic Road!
