It's the home of Neu Schwanstein (the most famous castle on earth probably, and the inspiration for Disney's Magic Kingdom) but to me, Hohenschwangau is the more interesting of the two castles there. IIRC, you have to reserve a spot in a guided tour so you might have to call ahead though. |

I know the castles are there. But this trip is less sight seeing and more "four people getting hammered from Rome to Munich".
I'll be in Rome and Florence and I have a degree in Art History focused on Italian Renaissance and I can't get my party to go to any cathedrals other than St Peter's. We won't be going on any tours, unless they're bar tours. I'll have to reserve my sight seeing for another trip. I'm staying in Trento as well and that place looks amazing along with Bolzano. edit: and I forced everyone to come back on Saturday so I can be back in time for the Super Bowl. Don't let me down, Chiefs. |

BTW, the same is generally true of sausage (würst) as well. Every town has a little different twist on it. Pork, beef, spices, boiled, fried, yep.

I went to Germany for the first time a few years ago. Regensberg, Nuremberg, down the Danube to Vienna and then eventually Budapest.
My favorite place was Passau. Awesome college town. Two rivers meet, one is a different color from the glacier. |

On the tour in Passau they said that Americans can attend college there for super cheap.
Then again the city has a penchant for flooding BAD. Also my girlfriend and I at the Gottweig abbey. Beautiful place that is still functional. Someone when I was there barfed on the lawn. People can't hold their apricot liquor I suppose. |
