Start your day trip with morning pickup from a location near the Hotel Savoy, then travel to Munich.
The capital of Bavaria, Munich is known for its architecture, culture, and its beer; the city hosts the acclaimed Oktoberfest celebration each year. Kick off your tour with a visit to one of the largest beer halls in the world, Munich’s Hofbräuhaus, then see the sights on a double-decker bus tour.
Stop for a stroll through the old center, admiring Marienplatz with its neo-Gothic rathouse and distinctive carillon. Take in the architecture of the Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche) and gaze at the bustle of Viktualienmarkt, a popular food market, before you check out the English Garden and the square of Odeonsplatz.
In the afternoon, you’ll leave Munich for Rothenburg, the medieval town on Germany’s Romantic Road. Amble along the postcard-perfect lanes and through the castle gardens with your guide, then stop to admire St. Jacob’s Church with its wood-carved altar. The half-timbered houses, historic city gates, and Renaissance town hall make for photogenic sights along the route.
Enjoy free time to shop for keepsakes such as carvings and handicrafts, then travel back to Frankfurt. Your day trip ends at the start point.
