There is so much to enjoy in this beautiful European country – its friendly people, architecture and wide well-connected roads that make it so easy for drivers to plan their routes and explore the country’s sights and sounds Take Germany’s capital for instance — the bustling city of Berlin is easy to get around and takes you to some of the best tourist attractions from the commanding Brandenburg Gate to the artistic swag of Friedrichshain. the “Romantic Road” is an easy route to follow from central to south of Germany it’s also perfect for a road trip with friends so you can take turns behind the wheel Read on for some help on your route planning and find out where the best spots are for driving pit stops. While you plan your trip, be sure you get all the information you need to know about travelling to Germany under the VTL. all locations in this article will require proof of vaccination for entry. The Romantic Road traditionally starts in Würzburg and ends in Füssen This means that if you do a one-way journey and not double back where you came from it makes more sense to buy an open-jaw ticket I flew into Frankfurt and departed from Munich to cut down on the driving time Here’s the generic route I planned for the two-week trip: Find out all that is behind the scenes in the Porsche world at Stuttgart You can admire over 200 exhibits and close to 100 models at the Porsche museum making it a popular tourist attraction among car enthusiasts here in Germany After flying into Frankfurt, you might want to stay overnight at a nearby hotel for some rest before starting your drive. It’ll help if you’re not used to long-haul flights (the flight is about 13 hours long!) For the car fanatics out there, Stuttgart would be an interesting detour, if just to visit the Porsche Museum The museum is about a two-hour drive from Frankfurt airport and you will be able to view almost 100 cars and over 200 exhibits showcasing different models through the years. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday - 9:00am to 6:00pm The Romantic Road begins at Würzburg — before you head down the route towards Füssen After recharging from your long flight and digging into some delicious German Frankfurters it’s now time to embark on the Romantic Road this sightseeing route brings you through dramatic German scenery with impressive mountains and quintessentially German medieval towns The Romantic Road was conceptualised as part of marketing efforts to rebuild Germany’s tourism industry post World War 2 Its northernmost point (and common start point) would be Würzburg and ends at Füssen – where the famous and very well-photographed Neuschwanstein castle can be found There’s no better place to start your journey than at Würzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 18th century the Court Gardens with over 70,000 summer flowers would be the perfect spot for some photos whereas access to the Court Gardens is free Opening hours: April to October: Daily from 9:00am to 6:00pm; November to March: Daily from 10:00am to 4:30pm Revel in the rustically romantic charm of Rothenburg town during your road trip — wind down the windows to enjoy the beauty The beautiful Rothenburg is most likely Germany’s most iconic medieval town and a great second stop on your Romantic Road drive This charming historic town is also the old Bavarian Imperial City and is one of the three towns in Germany that still has completely intact city walls so food options may not be the most affordable The Plönlein is a famous spot for both avid photographers and picture-savvy tourists The most famous photo spot in Rothenburg has to be this spot shown above – Plönlein The word translates to “small square at a fountain” — this would include the small fountain you see in front of the yellow house in the centre of the photo as well as the two towers of the old city wall that rise to its left (higher up) and right (lower down) It’s going to probably take you a while to get a nice as this is a very popular spot for travellers Be patient and you’ll get your much awaited click Climb up the old city walls to explore Rothenburg in greater detail Rothenburg ob der Tauber means “Red Castle above Tauber” This means you can admire spectacular views of the surroundings Visit Dinkelsbühl for a peaceful respite from busy Rothenburg you can admire the intact city walls while you go on a sightseeing tour around the next two towns to visit on the Romantic Road would be the other two German towns with intact city walls – Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen They are somewhat similar to Rothenburg ob der Tauber Dinkelsbühl is a very well-preserved town from the late Middle Ages and its many colourful historic half-timbered houses are set in beautiful angles for photos Nördlingen is equally gorgeous with its spell-binding classic architecture and has generally less tourists compared to Rothenburg Pay a visit to one of the many pretty German castles Next stop – Harburg, Bavaria. Factor in a visit to the Harburg Castle an extensive 12th century mediaeval complex which is also one of the oldest castles in southern Germany but definitely worth a visit to find out more about its long history The castle is also located on a hill with stunning views of Harburg town. Opening hours: Open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm next to Augsburg’s Town Hall offers a commanding aura to both tourists and locals Stop by the Town Hall of Augsburg, where you can explore their beautiful Altstadt (city centre). A wonderful lunch pitstop for the trip if you’re hungry already! To feed my rumbling tummy, I headed to Ratskeller Augsburg This was a very memorable restaurant as it was an underground eatery with fantastic ambience curved ceilings and impressive brick walls which reminded me of taverns that you might see in shows set in medieval times I opted for the Schnitzel and Käsespätzle (somewhat like mac and cheese) And if you’re out here looking for juicy German sausages and wine Opening hours: Monday to Thursdays – 11:00am to midnight where he wrote his autobiographical manifesto Its prison is where Adolf Hitler was jailed in 1924 — here I would strongly recommend driving by the Lech weir (high drain) a huge water canal that is part of Augsburg’s water management system This drain looks like cascading white ‘rapids’ from a distance where you can see the canals against the town in the background The grey-washed brick facade of the Neuschwanstein Castle is a marvellous sight especially if you love everything about German architecture The view of Neuschwanstein castle from Marienbrücke is reminiscent of a fairytale Füssen is the last town on the Romantic Road, and the closest town to where you can base yourself from, to travel to the famous Neuschwanstein castle This castle was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria who had many nicknames such as the “Mad King” and the “Fairytale King” Among the many stories of this German Kingis his obsession with building the extravagant Neuschwanstein Castle and the mysterious circumstances of his death which took place not long after he was declared insane But he was probably most famous for the Neuschwanstein Castle in the Bavarian Alps which inspired Walt Disney’s designs for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty’s castles The inside of the castle is well worth exploring but take note that no photography is permitted Tours are strictly guided and must be booked in advance Be prepared to climb in order to get a good view of the castle The most popular vantage spot would be from Marienbrücke (Bridge of Our Lady) it is unfortunately closed for renovations at thistime of writing Opening hours: April to 15 October: 9:00am to 6:00pm 16 October to March: 10:00am to 4:00pm Open daily except on 1 January Scenic spots around south Germany are aplenty The Alpsee Lake offers a peaceful breather if you’re tired during the road trip I then explored other scenic spots in the south of Germany I booked an Airbnb spot overlooking Alpsee Lake (Großer Alpsee) and spent hours by the lake just chilling out with the swans you can head southwest to explore the famed Black Forest in Germany — from an exhilarating hike to a relaxing hike you can spend a day or two right here in one of the quaint villages The romantic Rhine Valley runs from the west to the south so you can feast your eyes on picture-perfect sceneries of hills rivers and forests as you make your way down and travel around The Alpsee Bergwelt is a charming spot if you’re looking for some thrill during your road trip the coaster ride offers breathtaking views of the mountain between Immenstadt and Oberstaufen I was also recommended by my Airbnb host to check out Alpsee Bergwelt a theme park of sorts with a variety of activities available such as their trademark coaster ride as well as outdoor playgrounds and trampolines for children You can take a chair lift (or hike) to the top before taking an exhilarating coaster ride all the way down – definitely something to try for thrill-seekers The chair lift with the coaster ride will cost you €13.50 (S$21) per adult but you can opt for the coaster-only ride for €7.50 (S$12) per adult Greenery welcomes you everywhere in Germany Here at the mountain between Immenstadt and Oberstaufen you’ll be greeted with the scents of fresh flora as you ride across Opening hours: Operates only in the summer months of May to November. Opening hours differ month on month, refer to the latest schedule here The waterfront view along Lake Constance is a postcard-perfect click A more popular (also more touristy and therefore expensive) nearby spot to visit would be Lake Constance and the historic Lindau island I had initially planned to stay a night here I opted to stay near Alpsee Lake and drove over to explore Lindau in the day The historic town of Lindau is connected with the mainland by a road bridge and is a good spot to have lunch by the waterfront Be sure to look out for the landmark harbour entrance with its lighthouse and sculptures Dokumentation Obersalzberg carries the historic chapters of Adolf Hitler especially those that narrate how Nazi leaders spent time in the mountains of Berchtesgaden This place is also somewhat notorious for being a town where Adolf Hitler spent his vacation time at his Eagle’s Nest retreat Here, a must-visit would be Dokumentation Obersalzberg a museum which describes the use of the mountainside retreat by Nazi leaders Online reservation for tickets is required There is also plenty to explore in the region such as the majestic Lake Königssee located in the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park Opening hours: Open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm I recommend planning a couple of days to chill out here in the city to explore its rich culture and history – and drink your way through while you’re at it Though Germany’s famous Oktoberfest 2021 is cancelled there are plenty of drinking options in its many German beer halls and beer gardens There are also many more things you can do in Munich from exploring the marvelous architecture of Marienplatz to visiting the BMW museum There are plenty of car rental options at every German airport, and you can easily rent at one location and drop off the car at another. In Frankfurt Airport for example there are 11 car rental services available Do consider your own requirements and preferences when deciding on car types as you will be spending a lot of time in the vehicle while driving from town to town exploring Germany Car rentals start from about S$95 per day for automatic cars. is possible with a Singapore driver’s licence The Singapore driver’s licence is valid in Germany so there is no need to get an International Driving Permit One thing to note is that they drive on the right side of the road so drive slowly and safely until you get used to this Remember also that this means you should drive on the right and overtake on the left The German Autobahn (Highway) is often said to have no speed limit – but this is not true for all sections on the Autobahn So do keep a look out for the road signs indicating the speed limit find cars driving at top speed on some stretches of the Autobahn always look out for accommodation that provides free parking One way to cut down on unnecessary costs would be to stay in places located outside the city/town This gives you the flexibility of booking more affordable places in the fringes and sometimes this comes with great views of the countryside As different regions within Germany hold different coronavirus regulations and these are often updated according to changing circumstances do regularly check the website of the relevant federal state for the latest information when you’re visiting multiple cities in Germany If you’re visiting in the winter months of December to February This is so your Christmas market visiting can be much more comfortable in case you have to walk on ground with melted snow it is also important to note that the use of winter tires is mandatory when the roads are icy You will also need to factor in more driving time between places Another tip for those with longer hair – dry your hair completely before going out we might be used to just leaving homes with our hair half-dry But when I tried this in Germany in winter For a start, you can plan your driving routes around the south of Germany if you prefer to stay away from the crowds. Or if you’re a city slicker, check out these top attractions to visit in Frankfurt you’ll be greeted with mesmerising beauty wherever you go Oh, and remember to stay connected while you explore Germany — here are some tips! {{ article.title }} You have reached the limit of 5 saved articles you will need to remove others on My Articles By using this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy, Conditions of Access and to the placement of cookies on your computer Pretty often on History's long-running reality hit "Pawn Stars," people come into the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop with stuff they're sure is very valuable but turns out to be worth a lot less than they thought. Most sellers take the disappointment pretty well like the guy who tried to sell Corey Harrison two 500-year-old poleaxes he believed were worth thousands of dollars each He calls in military antiques expert Craig Gottlieb Gottlieb says one of the weapons was actually a decorative replica made in the much more recent Victorian era and was only worth a few hundred dollars The other was a genuine Austrian halberd from the 1500s that still would only retail for about $1,500 as Corey and Chumlee laughed with glee at the conflict unfolding in front of them If you think you can find these on the internet for $1,500 He took his poleaxes and stormed out of the store "You couldn't buy that for $1,500 if you just found it in the ground rusted," he complained nonsensically The comments on YouTube are very funny mocking Davis for his insistence that he knows better than the experts "Some guy in Germany swindled this American tourist out of THOUSANDS lmaoooo," one commenter wrote "Don't think you're an expert just because you do 'research.'" "The guy originally overpaid for them and now he's mad at the shop for his mistake," wrote commenter Call Me Marcus A commenter named RTF666 wrote a joke imagining what they would say if they were as mad as Davis: "That's an insult to the Dinkelsbühl poleaxe community." Another commenter wrote out a little play between Corey and Davis: "Guy: buys $10 bill for $30 / Corey: 'I'll give you $7 for it.' / Guy: 'You don't know what you're talking about Other commenters pointed out that Davis is actually a "Pawn Stars" regular who always comes in with medieval weapons and always gets mad when they're worth less than he wants, like the time he refused to take less than $12,000 for an old crossbow Davis hates when he sees Craig Gottlieb coming because he knows he's gonna lose some money he'd already made in his head.
