Bavaria is Germany's largest state by area, and today Munich is the only Bavarian city Travelog covers: a city guide plus a standalone page on Neuschwanstein Castle, the centerpiece of the four-palace UNESCO listing inscribed in July 2025, Germany's 55th World Heritage Site and one of its newest.
Munich is Bavaria's capital and the practical base for visiting the region's newest UNESCO recognition. Neuschwanstein sits roughly two hours outside the city itself, not within Munich proper, so the city's own guide plus the castle's standalone page underneath it cover what a genuine Bavaria trip is built around today.
