Bavaria, in southern Germany, is an intriguing destination offering vibrant towns and cities and idyllic countryside. With a rental car it’s easy to explore its many attractions, including medieval castles, baroque churches and quaint villages.

Monastery of St. Mang

The Monastery of St. Mang is just over an hour’s drive from Memmingen Airport (via the A7). Situated here is the Füssen Heritage Museum, which houses valuable pieces of art and archaeological artefacts. In this former Benedictine monastery you can also explore a medieval cloister and one of the most expansive collections of antique violins and lutes in Europe.

Neuschwanstein Castle

Originally built for King Ludwig II between 1869 and 1886, this incredible fortification overlooks the village of Hohenschwangau and is under 90 minutes from Memmingen Airport (via the A7). This fairy tale castle looks like something out of a children’s book with its turret, spires and medieval flourishes.

Munich

Bavaria’s capital city, Munich is brimming with historic and cultural attractions. Despite its size, the city maintains a small-town feel and the central square, Marienplatz, is the ideal place to start exploring it from. The New Town Hall is where Munich’s famous 100-year-old glockenspiel is located. Be sure to check out Englischer Garten – an expansive urban park popular with both locals and tourists.

Hiring a car makes it easy to explore all that Bavaria has to offer.
