Bavaria is everything that is atypically German, meaning that if you’re going to find Lederhosen-clad men with felt hats and a beer-sloshing tankard in hand on your holidays in Germany, it’ll be here. Beyond the stereotype however lies the real reason why Bavaria makes for a popular destination for German tours, with warm hospitality, spectacular scenery and great beer flowing from around 750 breweries recognised as the region’s trademarks.
Visitors on a coach trip to Bavaria can expect to explore timeless old towns and villages and incredible fairytale castles framed by snow-capped Alps, of which Neuschwanstein Castle is the best known. Those in the region in October won’t fail to miss lively Oktoberfest, Munich’s world-famous festival involving costume parades, funfairs and large quantities of food and beer.
