Urlaub in Bayerns Städten

Bavarian Towns & Cities

We take you on a voyage of discovery through the big cities like Munich, Nuremberg, Würzburg, Regensburg, Bamberg, Kempten, and Augsburg. But we also prove how exciting and inspiring a holiday in one of the small, lesser-known cities can be. For each City Check, we send reporters out to check out popular monuments and city squares, keeping their eyes peeled for interesting characters, surprising corners, beautiful experiences and lesser-known neighbourhoods.
