Rail Romantic Road

Self-guided rail journey through medieval Bavaria and the Romantic Road from Munich to Fussen

Illustration of Rail Romantic Road

Eurailing Packages operates Rail Romantic Road, a 9-day self-guided journey through Bavaria's most picturesque towns. Starting and ending in Munich, you travel by rail through Wurzburg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Nordlingen, Augsburg, and Fussen, exploring each at your own pace. All rail tickets are included, along with accommodation each night and a guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. The package pairs structure with independence: your itinerary and rail connections are pre-booked, reservations confirmed, and directions provided via the Eurailing app, but you set the rhythm in each town. This suits first-time rail travelers who want logistics handled and independent explorers who value the freedom to wander medieval streets, walk preserved city walls, and discover Renaissance architecture without a tour manager. From USD 1,595 per person, this is a classic-comfort option at a moderate daily cost.
