Bavaria was the first German state we visited, with Munich and the famous Oktoberfest festival initiating us into the culture of beer, sausages and pork knuckle in 2011. Since then, we have traveled to Munich on two occasions, the most recent trip including stops at two of Bavaria's largest cities - the UNESCO listed medieval center of Regensburg and the home of Germany's most famous Christmas market - Nuremberg. Although to avoid the crowds, we arrived the week before Christmas market season began - a wise move to avoid peak season costs and thick tourist crowds.
