Beer, traditional attire and the Oktoberfest: Do you think that's typically German?
Well, that's true, but above all it's typically Bavarian!
The state of Bavaria is a world of its own,
which you should consider getting to know after the coronavirus pandemic is over!
Let me show you five things that make Bavaria so special and lovable.
And I can promise you:
Bavaria is not only beer, traditional attire and the Oktoberfest.
Munich — the heart of Bavaria beats here.
In the state capital you can expect Bavarian friendliness,
culture and lots of sights.
My tip: climb up the tower of the church of St. Peter,
it is one of the best viewpoints of the city!
Munich's landmark, the Frauenkirche church, seems
close enough to touch from up here.
The Marienplatz, Munich's center, is at your feet.
Several times a day, onlookers flock to the New Town Hall. Why?
Well, it's best to look up and pull your camera out, too,
because the Glockenspiel is the tourist attraction.
And then just go — let yourself drift — Munich has a lot of beautiful places.
The Odeonsplatz for example.
Want to relax a little in between?
No problem, in the middle of the city you'll find the English Garden.
My tip here: watch the surfers on the standing wave of the Eisbach!
Is Oktoberfest really such a special experience? Yes, definitely.
It's the biggest folk festival in the world.
Before the pandemic, more than six million people would congregate here every year.
In the large festival tents there is eating and drinking, dancing and celebrating.
Rides await outside.
My tip: invest in a traditional costume, then you're in!
Dirndl dress for the ladies,
lederhosen for the men.
In fact, many people in Bavaria still value traditions today.
You love pretzels and beer? Then Bavaria is the right place for you!
Bavarian cuisine is hearty, very filling and super tasty!
Haxe ("knuckle of pork"), roast pork and co. are classics.
Even a snack is a feast!
And very important to the Bavarians: the atmosphere has to be right.
Whether in the beer garden or in the tavern, Bavarian coziness is a "must".
Bavaria has a landscape to fall in love with.
Snow-covered mountains, crystal clear lakes interspersed with quaint villages,
beautiful towns and dreamlike castles.
Did you know? Neuschwanstein Castle on the edge of the Alps
served as the model for Disney's Snow White castle!
Speaking of the Alps.
In summer you can go hiking here,
in winter it's off to the ski slopes.
Germany's highest mountain is Bavarian too: the Zugspitze.
Anyone traveling through Bavaria should not forget beautiful Franconia.
Many Franconians don't want to be called Bavarians,
but their region still belongs to the state.
And what is so special here? The Franconian hospitality and joy of life.
The region is often divided into beer and wine Franconia — and that says a lot.
Because Franconia is, whether focused on wine or beer, a land of connoisseurs.
And you can also visit beautiful cities here:
Würzburg,
Bamberg
or Coburg, for example.
