I would suggest staying the night INSIDE the walls of Rothenburg. Staying anywhere else is a big mistake you will regret. It is really not that expensive to stay in most of the charming old places in town, and the experience of walking leisurely through town late at night, and waking up in town, not having to drive, walking to the bakery at sunrise, hearing the tower and church bells ringing, is, well……PRICELESS.

I just want to say thank you very much for your posts – we (my husband and I and our two adult children) are planning a trip to southern Germany in April/May (assuming travel is still allowed and the coronavirus slows down) and your site, by far, is the most helpful one we have found! We are more interested in cultural and natural beauty than big cities (but we will spend some time in Munich and Berlin). For example, your explanation about ticketing at Neuschwanstein is so helpful to us! Also the out of the way places to visit and things to do to avoid crowds are very useful to us. Your information will help make our trip so memorable. We will be staying in Starnberg as our base and doing day trips from there. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi Marcella! If I were to do it again, I would probably cut Augsburg or Wurzburg because they had more of a bigger city vibe and I liked the smaller towns more. If I were to add an extra day in Bavaria, I would pack a picnic and from Fussen, I would just drive around and explore. Maybe pop into Austria because the border is basically in Fussen. I wrote a post about some stops/areas in Bavaria that we briefly visited. It’s an older post so it might not be super helpful in terms of information but you can get an idea of what it looks like. It’s stunning! https://hellojetlag.com/bavarian-alps-ohlstadt/

Hope this helps!

I’m very interested in how you would spend an extra day in Bavaria. After looking at your itinerary above, we are planning on maximizing time in Bavaria. What would you cut out entirely from your itinerary and what small towns would you add to the end of your trip after Fussen. Thanks!

Hi Michael,
I would recommend just doing a day/night trip to Fussen/Neuschwanstein because I don’t think you’ll have enough time for other stops on the Romantic Road. The area is beautiful and you should have more than enough to do. For a customized itinerary or schedule I would recommend maybe talking to a travel agent who can best come up with something to best suit your travel style. Have fun on your trip!
