Budgeting and Travel Tips for Bavaria

  • Prices in the destination rise and crowds swell during the peak season. For a more budget-friendly and less crowded experience, consider visiting in the shoulder or low seasons.
  • Traveling slower can help save you money while letting you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. If you pack your days with activities, the costs can add up. However, taking it easy often results in a more enjoyable trip with lower expenses.

Budgeting Challenges

  • Bavaria doesn't offer many public transportation choices. It might be a good idea to rent a car or arrange for transportation ahead of time, like booking a tour. Just keep in mind that this could affect your budget in other areas.
  • Bavaria isn't a hotspot for hostels, so if you're planning on staying in a budget dorm, you may want to readjust your travel plans. A cheap hotel or an apartment rental could be a more suitable option.

The remaining four regions are known as Bavarian-Swabia in the west, Upper Palatinate in the northeast, Upper Bavaria in the south, and Lower Bavaria in the east.
