Is there anyone who has never heard of Germany's oldest holiday route, which begins in Würzburg am Main and meanders to Füssen at the foot of the Alps? The Romantic Road is the original among the world's holiday routes and has frequently been copied but never equalled. It is a must for all international guests on vacation. The world-famous sights, including Germany's most romantic city, medieval Rothenburg o.d.T, the country's second-oldest city, Augsburg, Landsberg am Lech, three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the 'Residenz' in Würzburg, the Limes near Dinkelsbühl, the 'Wieskirche' in the Pfaffenwinkel district and the fairy-tale castles of the Bavarian kings, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, are MUSTs for visitors from all over the globe.
At all events, there is no lack of choice: visitors travelling by car simply follow the brown direction signs for a good 400 km; cyclists follow the green direction signs of the *** Romantic Road Long-distance cycle route; hikers with eyes for the beautiful countryside follow the blue direction signs on the Romantic Road long-distance hiking route and are rewarded by a long series of picturesque landscapes. The easiest way to travel is on board one of the Romantic Road buses, which link the holiday route with the international airports at Frankfurt am Main and Munich. Germany's oldest long-distance bus route was opened immediately after the founding of the Romantic Road in 1950 and is also the world's longest hop-on, hop-off sight-seeing tour. All-in packages including travel, accommodation, a sight-seeing programme and - very important - a daily performance guarantee - are also available.
Good to know: All buses have free W-LAN while the Romantic Road app is a useful tour guide that leaves no questions unanswered. It, too, is free of charge. All visitors have to do is download it from their app store and start preparing their personal itinerary.
Guided tours on the weekend: On weekends from July to October, bus guests are shown around by guides with expert knowledge of the route from Würzburg to Füssen and from Füssen to Dinkelsbühl (and Würzburg). They know the region like the back of their hand, provide insights into towns and cities, people and curiosities, things familiar and unfamiliar, and present regional products, such as wine from vineyards along the Romantic Road and Germany's healthiest beer, Romantic Road Zwickel Bier, which is brewed especially for visitors to the holiday route by the Fürstliches Brauhaus in Wallerstein. The Romantic Escort Weekends are undoubtedly the most intensive way to discover the romantic region between the River Main and the Alps - welcome on board!
Insider tip: All of the Romantic Road's Facebook friends can travel from Füssen to Munich for the special price of € 9.99 from July to October!
