Hilltop castles and green energy, beer halls and luxury cars, Alpine peaks and cutting edge art southern Germany blends thigh-slapping tradition with clear-headed modernity like nowhere else on earth.
DOUG MCKINLAY/GETTY IMAGES
The Germans have a word, Gemtlichkeit , that untranslatable blend of cosiness, well-being and a laid-back attitude. Nowhere does this mood permeate deeper than in the prosperous south where fairy-lit beer gardens, Alpine views, medieval towns, rousing hilltop castles and many a red-faced village brass band awaits you. But theres another facet to Gemtlichkeit : its also a marble-smooth autobahn of luxury cars speeding to gourmet restaurants and chic Alpine spas, Munichs high-brow cultural scene robed in black, and cappuccinos at dawn on intercity expresses. The two southern Germanys coexist, an incongruous mix packed with the unexpected.
Bavaria is definitely a place for those who prefer their air fresh rather than freshened. Though the Alps only tickle Germanys underbelly, locals know how to get the most out of their peaks, stringing cable cars up the vertical reality of the Alps; marking out entire atlases of cycling, hiking and cross-country skiing trails; even running a train up the inside of the Zugspitze, Germanys highest mountain. Yet all this is just a short ride from the urban joie de vivre of Munich, a sexy, sophisticated and self-confident city with a nonchalant, almost Mediterranean feel.
If youre coming here in search of strapping Alpine types in lederhosen, big-bosomed wenches juggling platters of roast pork, tipsy oompah bands and Hnsel-and-Gretel cottages, youll be pleased to hear that Germanys south keeps all its clichd promises. Nowhere is this truer than on the Romantic Road, a 350km-long route from Wrzburg to the Alps stringing centuries worth of quaint walled towns on a ribbon of history and tweeness. And if you think all the folksy fuss is just for the tourists youd be wrong many Bavarians turn out en masse for traditional festivals and celebrations in their lederhosen or dirndl.
Southern Germany is also famed for its castles, from medieval fortresses to the 19th-century follies commissioned by Bavarias most celebrated king, Ludwig II. Mad about Versailles (and some claim just plain mad) he single-handedly launched Bavarias tourist industry and even stirred Walt Disney with his story-book Neuschwanstein Castle. You could spend a month zig-zagging between sugary palaces, stuccoed baroque residences, wind-cracked Gothic ruins and vista-rich chateaux. Palace fatigue? Then theres nothing simpler in these parts than retreating to a cosy tavern and raising a tankard to this marvellous corner of Europe.

Confident and cutting edge, traditional and twee, Bavarias capital ( ) takes all the states quirky variety and condenses it into one of Europes most intriguing destinations. The city of art and beer wows with its world-beating collections of old masters, Gothic sculpture and pop art; but when the high-brow day ends, Munich retreats to the beer hall to savour a hop-infused culture like no other. Factor in some intense nightlife, world-class museums and easy-going locals and its plain to see theres much more to Munich than just Oktoberfest.
JON ARNOLD/GETTY IMAGES
Social barriers evaporate, strangers become friends and everybody sings too loudly, drinks in excess and has way too much fun at the worlds biggest beer bash in Munich ( ). The event lures a global mob of hedonists, but theres a quieter, folksier side, with less raucous beer tents and time-honoured traditions taking visitors back to its early 19th-century beginnings. So squeeze into your lederhosen or dirndl and get on down to the Theresienwiese its an experience you wont forget, if you can remember it at all, that is.
MICHAEL TAYLOR/GETTY IMAGES
Munich and Bavaria are synonymous with the beer hall, a time-warped institution of towering tankards; tightly trussed, strong-armed waitresses; and resident umpah bands. The (grand)daddy of all beer halls is central Munichs Hofbruhaus ( ), but there are plenty of equally characterful, and perhaps less touristy, spots throughout the south. If you prefer your watering holes al fresco, Munich celebrated 200 years of the beer garden in 2012, and this summertime passion certainly has another two centuries worth of elbow bending to come.
SEAN GALLUP/GETTY IMAGES
Bavarias best-known castle ( ) emerges from hilltop woodland above Fssen like a bedtime storybook vision. Commissioned by Ludwig II, 19th-century king of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein is top of the league when it comes to Germanys tourist attractions and its easy to see why. What would have been a private royal residence is a reflection of Ludwig IIs longing to retreat into his own cloistered fantasy world, a secluded realm in which the operas of Richard Wagner played a pivotal role. No wonder Walt found inspiration here for his Disney World creations.
