Bavarian South To Germany's Heart Itinerary

Day 1

Passau

Passau is known as a three-river city and is the first port on the Danube that is navigable by cruise ships. From here the big tours via Vienna, Bratislava and down to the Black Sea start. But the city itself also has a lot to offer, such as the opera house, the Ilz, a small river that is great for hiking, or St. Stephen's Cathedral and the old town hall. A visit to the Passau Glass Museum is particularly recommended, if you want to turn your back on the city, you can go to the Mariahilf pilgrimage church just outside.

Day 2

Regensburg

The breath of almost 2000 years can be felt in Regensburg. Spared from the destruction of past wars, the city on the Danube invites you to look and be amazed. The past was preserved here in a particularly impressive way. The medieval cityscape of the former free imperial city is characterized by numerous patrician buildings and residential towers from the 13th and 14th centuries. The stone bridge and the "Porta Praetoria" are particularly worth seeing. Anyone who wants to experience history is in the right place in the largest city in Eastern Bavaria.

Day 3

Nuremberg

Nuremberg is an independent city in Bavaria, which is not far from Fürth. You can still see the medieval architecture that runs through the entire city. The old city walls and the imperial castle tell of days long gone. Nuremberg is famous for its Christmas market. The Christ Child heralds the advent and Christmas market time. The classic Christmas stollen is world famous and a real treat. Numerous museums such as the Albrecht Dürer House or the Toy Museum are popular sights in the city.

Day 4

Bamberg

Day 5

Wurzburg

The Bavarian city of Würzburg with its impressive buildings in Baroque and Rococo styles is definitely worth a visit. Below the Marienberg Fortress, which is well worth seeing, there are walking paths through the beautiful vineyards that stretch right down to the Main. This is where the good Franconian wine comes from in Bocksbeuteln. The Würzburg Residence is a special attraction, as is the monumental Käppele pilgrimage church. The cathedral and the striking old bridge over the Main are also special points of contact. The Haus zum Falken on the market square is built in Rococo and Gothic styles.

Day 6

Wertheim

The small town of Wertheim is located where the Tauber River meets the Main. Magnificent half-timbered buildings shape the marketplace. The parish church, which dates from the Gothic era, is one of the sights of the village. The Counts of Wertheim, who ruled here from the 15th to the 18th century, found their final resting place in the interior. Other tourist attractions include the glass museum and a stately castle that sits enthroned on a mountain high above the city.

Day 7

Frankfurt

Frankfurt am Main is a banking city with numerous skyscrapers in the city center, which can be seen from afar. The Main invites you to visit special destinations with excursion boats. The Römer is the town hall in the historic center of Frankfurt. Here on the Römerberg there are picturesque rows Half-timbered houses next to each other, some of which have only recently been reconstructed. Also nearby are the house where Goethe was born, the Goethe House, and the Paulskirche as a memorial to the beginning of democracy.
