Experience Bavaria

During the 16th and 17th centuries the duchy of Bavaria was the bulwark of Roman Catholicism within the Holy Roman Empire and, during the reign of Maximilian I, Bavaria fought against the Protestant Union in the Thirty Years’ War (1618–48). Following the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, Bavaria became a kingdom and remained as such until 1918.

Bavaria’s turbulent history has left behind a rich architectural and cultural legacy, spanning some 100,000 architectural monuments, over a thousand museums and art collections and world-famous castles like Neuschwanstein. In addition to Roman antiquities, Baroque fortresses and fairytale castles, the region also has more than its share of glorious Alpine scenery, beer halls and colourful festivals, all of which make this one of the most popular parts of Germany for tourists.
