8Bavaria, Germany: Autumn Festivals and Stunning Castles

Bavaria is an ideal fall destination, known for its beautiful landscapes, quaint villages, and, of course, Oktoberfest. While Munich’s Oktoberfest is a world-renowned celebration, the region also offers much more to experience. Bavaria’s picturesque countryside is dotted with charming towns like Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses add to the fairy-tale atmosphere.

The nearby Bavarian Alps and castles, such as Neuschwanstein, provide breathtaking views against the golden hues of autumn. Autumn is also grape harvest season, making it a great time to sample Bavarian wines and attend local harvest festivals.
