Explore Germany: Bavaria

Located in southeastern Germany, Bavaria (Bayern) is the country’s largest state and second in population after North Rhine-Westphalia. By far the largest city in Bavaria is Munich (München), followed by Nuremberg (Nürnberg) and Augsburg. Bounded in the south by the Alps, Bavaria is famous as a hiker’s and skier’s paradise, and we feature vacation apartments in nearly all of its picturesque towns, including Berchtesgaden, Lenggries, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, to name just a few. Another popular way to explore Bavaria is by following the Romantic Road (Romantische Straße)—a north-south tourist route that begins in Würzburg and ends in Füssen, passing through numerous ancient and beautifully-preserved towns such as Rothenburg ob der Tauber. We currently offer a variety of vacation apartments in Bavaria to choose from, with more being added every day!

The state of Bavaria (Bayern) is located in southern Germany and its largest city is Munich. Close to the German Alps, Bavaria is an ideal destination for skiing trips in winter and hiking excursions in summer.
