The Romantic Road, Germany was a trade route in the Middle Ages. Germany’s Romantic Road still retains much of its medieval character. The Road often winds through the forgotten sections of countryside that connect walled cities and picturesque villages. Travelers may come across an arched gateway complete with guard towers. You will also come across Gothic cathedrals, half-timbered Fachwerk houses, historic hotels and a medieval festival. The charm of the Romantic Road, Germany is realized by fairytale castles and the Alps. The Romantic Road is one of the most beautiful and equally overrun attractions in Germany. Hence getting here in the peak season should be avoided. A European bus tour starts each morning from both Frankfurt as well as Munich.
