Hotels in Upper Bavaria, Germany

Upper Bavaria sits in southern Germany, with the Alps to the south and Munich at its heart. The climate features warm summers (70-80°F / 21-27°C) perfect for hiking to the Neuschwanstein Castle or swimming in the crystal-clear Königssee lake, and snowy winters (20-30°F / -7 to -1°C) for skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen. You'll find distinct vibes: Munich buzzes with beer gardens and the 19th-century Hofbräuhaus, while the Alpine villages offer quiet trails and the UNESCO-listed Wieskirche church. Visit in summer for outdoor festivals like the Oberammergau Passion Play, or winter for Christmas markets and affordable ski passes.
