One of the most beautiful towns in Bavaria, Fussen is best known for its violin-making industry, but its dramatic mountain scenery has made it a popular destination for all sorts of travelers. It boasts a rich 700-year history and sits at the southern tip of the Romantic Road looking as if it was drawn by an artist’s hand. While many travelers simply pass through, heading straight to Neuschwanstein Castle nearby, both are well worth a visit.
The famous castle is the most photographed structure in Germany and served as the inspiration for Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. The interior of the castle can be explored through a guided tour, and horse-drawn carriage rides are available to bring you to the top of the hill if you aren’t inclined to walk. In Fussen, you’ll find a lovely pedestrianized Old Town lined with brightly colored buildings, many of which are adorned with frescoes. The cobblestone streets give the historic town an old-world charm, and you can enjoy the outstanding traditional Bavarian fare at the restaurants and cafes.
Nestled in the heart of Rome, the Galleria Doria Pamphilj stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural legacy of one of Italy's most illustrious families. This privately owned gallery, housed within the grand Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, showcases an impressive collection of art and artifacts amassed over centuries. As visitors step into this opulent space, they are transported through time, encountering masterpieces that bear witness to the family's patronage of the arts.
