A Must see it is only 30 minutes from the Venue. It is well known for its well-preserved medieval old town, a destination for tourists from around the world. It is part of the popular Romantic Road through southern Germany. Today it is one of only three towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls.

Largest city in the region with gorgeous architecture, history, castle and shops.

The most famous castle in the world. I recommend buying tickets a couple months in advance they sell out

Only an hour from Neuschwanstein Castle. I recommend doing both. This one is smaller, less busy and in my opinion more impressive because it is completely decorated over the top.

Amazing hiking and mountaineering activities with picturesque villages. Some towns to consider are Garmisch-Partenkirschen, Zell am See, Innsbruck, and Mittenwald. Germany's highest peak is the Zugspitze but the Alpspitze also has amazing hikes.

Salzburg, Austria is not far and is the birthplace of Mozart.

Austria, Italy, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Switzerland
