Where Should I go: Bavaria or Liguria?
Bavaria
When someone says "Germany" you probably picture Lederhosen, sausages and beer. What you're actually picturing with that scene is the southern state of Bavaria. This region is like a scene from Hansel and Gretel – with stunning scenery and castles everywhere you look.
The largest federal state in Germany is home to approximately 12 and a half million people – all proud to be Bavarian. You'll find that many of the features of the Bavarian culture differ greatly from those in the rest of Germany. They know their roots and love their traditions, and they're always ready to share them with visitors.
With history, food, wine and plenty of kid-friendly activities, this is one area of the world where there really is something for everyone.
Liguria
The northwestern coast of Italy plunges into the sea as rugged mountains mix with blue water. Amongst this scenic landscape, small towns full of pastel colored houses cling to the cliffs above small harbors full of fishing boats and beachcombers. The capital is Genoa (or Genova), a city steeped in history with winding alleyways and world-class seafood. However, most visitors flock to nearby Portofino, one of the ritzier and more expensive, but extremely beautiful, Italian coastal cities. Here one can find large yachts parked along the shore next to rows of colorful buildings climbing the hills above the town.
