Hotels in Upper Bavaria, Germany

Upper Bavaria is the southeastern part of Germany, home to the Bavarian Alps and famous for fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein, which inspired Disney. Winters are cold (around 30°F/-1°C), perfect for skiing in Garmisch-Partenkirchen's Zugspitze region, while summers are mild (70°F/21°C), ideal for hiking through Berchtesgaden's lakes and lush alpine meadows. If you're into history, you can explore Munich's 800-year-old Marienplatz and sample locally brewed beer at the Augustiner Brau, or head to the Chiemgau region for open-air concerts of traditional Bavarian folk music from brass bands.
