Take an organized tour
Want an organized tour into Bavaria? Here's one I can recommend. It'll take you up to Bavaria's second city, Nuremburg, a city famous for its beauty and historical importance. One of the most interesting day trips from Munich I can think of!Nuremberg Day Trip from Munich
Cost: from €35 Duration: nine hours
Nuremberg’s history is reflected in two ways, through its well-preserved medieval Altstadt (Old Town) and the former Nazi area a few kilometres from the centre.
On this rail tour you’ll explore them both.
First there’s a tour of the old town leading up to the grand castle at the top of the hill. Then its off to the former Nazi grounds where you’ll see where Hitler orchestrated the infamous Nuremberg Rallies of the 1930s.
There’s also an excellent museum which tries to explain just how the Nazi party managed to gain so much power and influence in Germany. Fascinating stuff.
