City trips in Bavaria are worthwhile for a short city trip or for longer stays. Because there is a lot to discover. In the following we will introduce you to beautiful cities in Bavaria that are less well known but are definitely worth a city trip.
When autumn bathes the countryside in golden light, the forests rustle gently, and everyday life slows down a bit, it's time for a break. For an autumn wellness weekend that doesn't call for a schedule, but for peace and quiet.

This gourmet route from Munich to the Allgäu connects the colorful Oktoberfest metropolis of Munich with the nearby Alps – a slow travel journey that brings together city and nature, beer and cheese, tradition and enjoyment.

The Oktoberfest is a festival like no other. It's loud, cheerful, and a true experience for all the senses. However, anyone who stays in Munich for an extended period will sooner or later long for a moment of peace and quiet. Day trips from Munich are particularly suitable for this.
The Oktoberfest in Munich is much more than a collective state of intoxication. It is a piece of Bavarian culture, a traditional folk festival with centuries of history, regional cuisine, music, and living traditions.
Oktoberfest is not only the largest folk festival in the world—it's also a culinary highlight. From chicken to radishes, from Obatzda (traditional Bavarian dish) to Kaiserschmarrn (sweet pancakes): Oktoberfest food is synonymous with tradition, enjoyment, and conviviality.
