Introducing Romantic Road
The popular and schmaltzily named Romantic Rd (Romantische Strasse) links a series of picturesque Bavarian towns and cities. It’s not actually one road per se, but rather a 353km route chosen to highlight as many quaint towns and cities as possible in western Bavaria. From north to south the Romantic Rd includes the following major stops:

Würzburg Starting point and featuring 18th-century artistic splendour among the vineyards.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber The medieval walled hub of cutesy Bavarian touring.
Dinkelsbühl Another medieval walled town (tourist information 09851-902 40; www.dinkelsbuehl.de) replete with moat and watchtowers, a smaller Rothenberg.
Augsburg A medieval and Renaissance city with many good places for a beer. On the Stuttgart-Munich train line.
Füssen The southern end of the route and the cute and overrun home of mad King Ludwig’s castles
In addition to these principal stops, more than a dozen more little towns clamour for attention – and your money.
