This week we are traveling to Bavaria. This is the region in Southern Germany, the best-known city being Munich. This area is full of great activities for anyone willing to give it a try. In this email, you'll find the top things to do in each of the major cities of Bavaria and the surrounding area.


A historic scene at Nuremberg Castle, featuring the tall, round Sinwell Tower with its distinctive green conical roof and brown brickwork on the right. To the left of the tower is a charming half-timbered building with a red and white facade. A cobblestone path winds through a green area in the foreground, where a few visitors are strolling. In the background, more traditional German buildings with red roofs are visible under a clear blue sky with light clouds.

Nuremberg, Germany

One of the best things to do in Nuremberg is the Hauptmarkt. It is an outdoor market full of local vendors and food trucks and is a favorite place for locals to shop for fresh goods. In the center of the market is Schöner Brunnen, a beautiful fountain. Not far from the market is Old Town, the section of town restored to its former glory after World War II. The Nuremberg Castle, Saint-Sebald Church, Albrecht Dürer's House all call this area of town home. If you'd rather spend the day shopping, head over to Karolinenstraße to find the nearly 1,000 ft long pedestrian street with international shops.


A panoramic view of Marienplatz in Munich, Germany, at dusk. The magnificent Neo-Gothic New Town Hall with its ornate facade and towering spires is on the far left. In the center, the Mariensäule (Marian Column) with a golden statue on top stands in the middle of the large, open square. Surrounding the square are other historic buildings with traditional architecture, including a white building with a distinctive red-spired tower. The sky is a gradient of blue and orange with scattered clouds, indicating sunset.

Munich, Germany

Munich is a place for architecture that spans across all styles. If you are looking for a Gothic Revival wonder, check out the Marienplatz, Munich's town hall. Or the Baroque style of Church, designed by Italian architects at the 17th-century Theatine Church. If you are looking for a beautiful building to keep you busy all day, check out Deutsches Museum. It was built in the early 20th century and to this day is one of the most significant science and technology museums in Germany. If you are looking to get outside during your visit to Munich, be sure to stop by the Englischer Garten. It takes on the title of one of the world's largest urban parks, with a Japanese teahouse, the Chinese Tower, and even surfers on the Eisbach River.


An expansive view of the majestic Hohensalzburg Fortress, a large white castle complex, perched atop a steep, tree-covered hill. Below the fortress, the city of Salzburg sprawls with its traditional buildings and rooftops, including a red-spired church and a green-domed building. In the background, impressive snow-capped mountains rise under a partly cloudy sky, with clouds partially obscuring their lower slopes.

Salzburg Austria

This is a city to get outdoors. Nestled in the Alps, Salzburg is a city where history meets nature. There are plenty of trails to fill your lungs with fresh air and transport you to the scenes of the Sound of Music. One of the most amazing things to visit is the Hohensalzburg Fortress, which sits high atop the city. In the Holiday season, you can visit the Christmas Village and shops or escape indoors to the Museum of Modern Art.


Now that you know the top sites of each city, schedule a consultation to start planning your trip!
