Cities in Bavaria
Urban bustle or historical romance? In Bavaria's cities you can expect diversity and plenty of warm hospitality.

Augsburg
In 15 BC Augsburg was an important trading centre. The Renaissance buildings that characterise the cityscape also date from this time. Donated by the merchant Jakob Fugger, the world-famous Fuggerei is now the oldest social housing estate in the world. The historic water management system was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.

Nuremberg
Franconia's capital has always had a strong appeal: in the Middle Ages, the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire resided at the double castle. The complex on a steep sandstone cliff consists of the Kaiserburg and the Burggrafenburg. During Advent, Nuremberg's famous Christkindlesmarkt, the oldest Christmas market in the world, is an absolute must.

Munich
Big-city flair and rural charm, Alpine roughness and high-tech, beer gardens and haute cuisine, opera and art park: this very special "Munich mixture" makes the Bavarian capital a centre of attraction for guests from all over the world.

Regensburg
Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered Germany's medieval wonder. Many visitors come by boat, as Regensburg has Bavaria's largest port for river cruises. Upstream, King Ludwig I had Valhalla built as a memorial to important German personalities. Downstream, in Kelheim, the Liberation Hall on the Michelsberg.
