Explore Bavaria and the Romantic Road

9-day independent rail trip along Bavaria's Romantic Road from Munich

Railbookers operates this 9-day, 8-night independent rail package that follows what the description calls the route of the Romantic Road through Bavaria, Germany. The trip starts in Munich, continues to Augsburg and Wurzburg, and includes day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle and the fairy-tale town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, before continuing to Nuremberg and returning to Munich at the end. The description calls Rothenburg ob der Tauber a fairy-tale town and names Nuremberg as historic, framing the route around some of Germany's oldest destinations. As an independent rather than an escorted package, travelers arrange their own sightseeing at each stop while Railbookers manages the connections between them. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so the exact nights spent in each city, and the transport used for the day trips to Neuschwanstein Castle and Rothenburg, are not detailed. This suits independent-minded travelers who want a single-country trip through Bavaria's historic towns and castles without following a guided group schedule.
