Bayreuth accommodation from NZ$155

A popular option when visiting Bayreuth is to stay in the vicinity of the Richard Wagner Museum. The Best Western Transmar Travel Hotel is just a brief drive away, as is the H4 Hotel Residenzschloss Bayreuth.

The HOTEL KRONE is positioned 25 kilometres from the heart of Bayreuth. Or, alternatively, the Gasthof Rotes Roß can be found 30 kilometres away. Alternative hotel options are the Ringhotel Stempferhof and the Burg Rabenstein.

You'd be a Wally to leave without seeing the other things on offer in Bavaria. Explore the castles, traditional villages and old towns in Bavaria. Those who love the great outdoors can also make the time to check out the region's forests, rivers and streams. In this section of Germany, energetic types can also try their hand at snowboarding and skiing.

Don't blow through before you have checked out the Freilandmuseum Grassemann, Ochsenkopfschanze and Bischofsgruen Church in Bischofsgruen. The Barbara and Gasthof Deutscher Adler & Hotel Puchtler are some of the short and long-stay options in Bischofsgruen. Or, you could consider staying in Bamberg, 50 kilometres to the west of Bayreuth, where you can pick from the Hotel National and Hotel Berliner Ring. The Green Market, Bamberg Cathedral and Old Town Hall are popular points of interest to see when visiting Bamberg.

If you are travelling into or out of Hof-Plauen Airport and would prefer to stay nearby, try the Quality Hotel Hof or the Hotel Central Hof.
