Overview
Discover some of Germany’s most beautiful historic towns, magnificent castles and romantic landscapes on this carefully designed self-drive journey from Frankfurt to Munich.
Begin in Frankfurt before travelling south to Heidelberg, where castle ruins rise above the Neckar River and one of Germany’s loveliest old towns. Continue to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a remarkably preserved medieval town of cobbled streets, colourful houses, towers and complete city walls.
From Rothenburg, follow the most attractive sections of Germany’s legendary Romantic Road through Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen before reaching Augsburg, one of the country’s oldest cities. The landscape then changes as you travel through Landsberg am Lech and the Bavarian countryside towards Füssen and the Alps.
The fairytale castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau provide the spectacular finale before your journey concludes in Munich, the lively Bavarian capital.
The suggested itinerary includes six overnight destinations, but this is your journey. Add extra nights wherever you wish, choose your preferred hotels and travel entirely at your own pace.

Important information
This 7-day/6-night itinerary is our recommended journey, not a rigid organised tour.
Add extra nights in Heidelberg, Rothenburg, FĂĽssen or Munich, change your hotel selection or adapt the journey to your interests. Your accommodation and package price update according to your chosen travel dates and selections.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEUSCHWANSTEIN
Entrance tickets for Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau are not included and should be reserved before travel. Castle admission takes place at a fixed time, and late arrival may result in refused entry.
The parking areas and ticket centre are located below the castles. Visitors must continue uphill on foot, by shuttle bus or by horse-drawn carriage. Additional time should therefore be allowed between parking and the confirmed castle entrance time.
