Bavaria is the southernmost of the 16 federal states of Germany and offers not only charming villages and Bavarian hospitality, but also the vibrant city of Munich, the fairy tales of Neuschwanstein and the imposing peaks of the Zugspitze Mountains.

The Tyrol is renowned for its Alpine landscape, which is a superb playground for both summer strolls and winter skiing. The region also offers some of the finest cultural opportunities such as the imperial flair of Innsbruck and the magic of Swarovski’s Crystal Worlds in Wattens.
