Four Day Frankfurt to Munich - Romantic Road, Linderhof, Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein

Germany's Romantic Road offers the most picturesque and magnificent scenery on Earth. Travel along this stretch of road and marvel at the delightful spots of the Bavarian region. Heidelberg Castle is one of the most impressive historic landmarks of Germany, and has been called the red walled castle. Now largely in ruins, it preserves numerous examples of baroque German, Renaissance and medieval architecture.

Visit the "Jewel of the Middle Ages" - Rothenburg Ob der Tauber (Rothenburg above the Tauber). A picturesque city, located 425 meters above sea level, on a plateau at the intersection of the Romantic and Castle Roads, this once free imperial city is one of Germany's most frequented towns. The Tauber River flows below the town in a valley 180 feet (55 meters) deep.


Visit the castle of Hohenschwangau, where King Ludwig II of Bavaria spent his childhood. Travel to Neuschwanstein, the most breathtakingly majestic castle built on the ruins of "Vorder und Hinterhohenschwangau".
