New, Free Online Travel Guide to Germany's Romantic Road for Travel
in 2009
www.thereareplaces.com has launched an online
travel guide to the best places to visit along Germany's fabled
Romantic Road just in time for
those planning their 2009 vacations. The guide describes one of the
most attractive and popular tourist areas in Germany, a country that
is widely considered one of the world's leading travel destination.
The lavishly illustrated guide includes detailed, purpose-built maps
to help your exploration of the Romantic Road.
Laguna Hills, California (PRWEB) December 12, 2008 -- ThereArePlaces
announced today the launch of a unique, concise, online travel guide
to the best places to visit along Germany's fabled Romantic Road.
The new Guide to the Romantic Road is comprehensive, richly
illustrated and easy-to-navigate. The Guide is focused on describing
the Romantic Road's leading attractions and complements the
extensive selection of free, online travel guides offered at
www.ThereArePlaces.com .
"Vacationing in the towns along the Romantic Road is an increasingly
popular choice with travelers from around the world," said Mike
Dobson, President of ThereArePlaces. "Visiting the Romantic Road
provides a chance to explore the stunning beauty of Germany's
Bavaria. Neuschwanstein Castle with its fairly tale castle and the
walled, medieval city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber are just two the
many outstanding sights that attract visitors to the towns along the
Romantic Road.
In the south the Romantic Road weaves through the outskirts of the
Alps, while in the north it is nestled in idyllic, rolling
farmland." The "Road" connects a string of towns that are microcosms
of the past. Each of the cities covered in the guide features unique
medieval architectures and presents an experience for exploration
that has faded from most of the world.
While Germany is an easy country to travel due to its excellent
highways and transportation systems, it takes a great deal of
research to find the best attractions along the Romantic Road - the
ones that will bring a smile when you think back on your vacation in
Bavaria. The experienced staff of traveler writers at ThereArePlaces
focused their efforts on finding and evaluating the leading
destinations along the Romantic Road. The Company's new guide to the
Best Places to Visit along the Romantic Road includes separate
sections with specific recommendations on the best places to visit
in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Hohenschwangau (Neuschwanstein Castle),
Wurzburg, Dinkelsbuhl, Augsburg and the lesser known but equally
outstanding spa-town of Ottobeuren. In addition, the text includes
hyperlinks to the official websites for the most popular attractions
so you can determine opening hours, current fees, and other
information that is invariably out of date in printed guidebooks.
Our research has shown that once the Christmas gifts have been
opened that many would-be travelers, especially those with new
computers from Santa, start dreaming about their next vacation. If
you are looking for the trip of a lifetime, the Team at
ThereArePlaces recommends that you snuggle up to their Romantic Road
Guide before your "…long winter's nap".
