Hotels in Bavaria, Germany

Bavaria is a region in southeastern Germany known for its snow-capped Alps, storybook castles like Neuschwanstein, and the world's biggest beer festival, Oktoberfest in Munich. Winters are cold (averaging 28°F/-2°C in January) and perfect for skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen or snowshoeing through the Berchtesgaden National Park, while summers are warm (75°F/24°C average) and great for hiking the Alpine trails or taking a boat ride on Lake Chiemsee. You'll find two distinct vibes: the lively city of Munich with its historic beer halls and museums, and the quiet Alpine towns where you can tour Ludwig II's 19th-century castles without the crowds.
