Do

 * Alpine skiing - Sepidan ski resort is located near the city of Sepidan, in the northwest of Fars Province. It makes winter sport fans from neighbouring cities, regions and even countries to gather in this city over the weekends. The hills of the Zagros Mountains in this region have created a suitable space for different games and sports on their snow-covered slopes.
 * Poolad Kaf is another ski resort. The pistes are served by a telecabin and 3 drag lifts. Skis can be hired and, in the summer, mountain-bikes. A snowmobile track runs around the perimeter. Outside of the ski season, discounts can easily be negotiated, especially if you are the only visitors.

Alternatively, camping is an option. Those who speak some Farsi may wish to speak to the nomads, who will likely offer you tea and perhaps even a place to stay.

Eat

 * Faloodehye shirazi is a rose water sorbet that contains small pieces of cooked rice noodle. The dish is quite subtle, slightly sweet with just a hint of rose petals; the noodles add a chewiness to the sorbet but little flavor. Faloodeh is served with a wedge of lemon, which added a refreshing kick. It's an ideal way to end a meal on a searing day. You can order Faloodehye shirazi in Icecream shops and most tea houses (chai khaneh). Have tea or faloodeh in the tea houses of the world famous gardens of shiraz.

Drink
Tap water in Fars province is drinkable, but has a lot of chalk in it.

Outback New South Wales

Outback New South Wales is the western part of New South Wales, part of the large Outback. The area is large and the population small: much of the area is desert, far from civilization. The southern part of Outback New South Wales – the Willandra Lakes region – has been inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

The Central West region is also sometimes considered to be part of the Outback. However, as the conditions and the environment in the Central West largely differ from the rest of the Outback, it is covered separately.

Cities and towns
Broken Hill is the only settlement large enough to be considered a "city" – all other settlements are either rural towns or townships.

 * – contains well-preserved homesteads, bordering the Riverina
 * – not really a tourist town but it's the only town for kilometres on end
 * – claims to have the world's oldest structure
 * (including Silverton) – the region's only "city"
 * – a mining town in the centre of the NSW Outback
 * – the opal capital of New South Wales
 * – a good base for exploring the Menindee Lakes and the nearby Kinchega National Park
 * – where the Murray and Darling Rivers meet

Other destinations

 * - Small outback village
 * – most notable for its petroglyph rock art
 * – home to the Menindee Lakes
 * – a UNESCO world heritage site to some of the world's oldest modern human bodies outside Africa
 * – northwestern most point of New South Wales, near the Cameron Corner Survey Marker
 * – northwestern most point of New South Wales, near the Cameron Corner Survey Marker
 * – northwestern most point of New South Wales, near the Cameron Corner Survey Marker

Understand
Summers are blazing hot and dry, and if the sun doesn't get you, the flies will! If you want to avoid the heat, then the autumn and spring months may be the best time to visit. Winters can be surprisingly cold. Even a small amount of rain can close many unsealed back roads. Even minor flooding can close roads with low-level bridges or creek crossings that rely.

Distances are huge. Even on main roads, towns and villages can be 300 km apart. On the back roads, you can drive all day and not see another vehicle. This is a great experience of itself, but it comes with the risk that a breakdown will strand you for some hours, at least, and it should come as no surprise that you won't be able to use your mobile (cellular) phone to call for help. It is always important to have filled up your car so that it has at least 350 km worth of fuel in it and you should always carry plenty of water.

The towns are also generally very small, and have limited facilities. If you're very lucky, there may be some live music at the local club, but generally, life in these remote areas tends to be very quiet. On the other hand, the scenery is exceedingly beautiful, and there's plenty of it.

If you head west along the Barrier Highway, the red dirt starts at around the mining town of Cobar, out past Nyngan. North, the Kidman Way takes you up to Bourke (of "back of Bourke" fame), in cotton-growing country near the Queensland border. West, the next town is Wilcannia, once a major port on the Darling River. Beyond Wilcannia is Broken Hill, population 21,000, a mining town with a long and colourful history.

South of Cobar is the vast, mostly empty middle of New South Wales. Crossed by the Kidman Way and the Cobb Highway, it's just scrub and a few tiny towns all the way to the south border of the state. In the middle of that is ancient Lake Mungo, site of the oldest known human cremation, and Menindee, a system of lakes in the desert, which only fill after months of rainfall in southern Queensland.

To the north-east and north-west of Cobar are the isolated opal fields of Lightning Ridge and White Cliffs, both places where people live "rough", and often underground (in White Cliffs). Tours of some underground places can be arranged.

Finally, in the far north-west of the State, there are the strange rock engravings at Mutawintji, and the isolated town of Tibooburra.

Get in
If you are going to fully explore the Outback, you'll need a car or camper to get in.

You can fly in to Broken Hill for a taste - at a price. Expect to pay around 3 times what you would pay for an inter-capital flight.

Great Southern Railways run the Indian Pacific from Sydney and Adelaide, with a whistlestop tour in Broken Hill. NSW Trainlink run a weekly train to Broken Hill, and a bus network (mainly connecting to Dubbo) to cover much of the rest.

Get around
The public transport out here is still oriented towards taking passengers towards the capital cities, and to get between towns that aren't on the same capital city route can be a real challenge without your own transport. Even out at Broken Hill the only coach or train services you will see are either towards Adelaide or towards Sydney. There are a few trains that run into the Outback, but they usually only stop at major towns, such as Broken Hill. Larger towns are serviced by infrequent buses, and smaller towns are not serviced by public transport at all.

All these factors can make getting around difficult without a car. There are also a lot of things to see and do that aren't in the town centres, so a car is almost essential to see them.

Car rental in the Outback always has distance limits before a surcharge applies, and one-way fees if you don't drop back at the starting point. Almost invariably it is at a higher cost than a capital city hire. Consider hiring from a capital or major city (e.g. Adelaide, Dubbo, Mildura) to avoid these costs.

It gets very hot in the summer, so air conditioning is essential if you're travelling at that time of year. Make sure the vehicle has good tyres, adequate fuel and has been properly serviced. There's plenty of traffic on the main roads, so you won't have major problems with a breakdown, but the back roads are a different matter, so always carry water for a day or two, and stay with the vehicle.

 * Regional Express provides limited, and fairly expensive, air services between some major towns.
 * Rail and bus services are provided by NSW Trainlink, Greyhound.

See
The Outback is known for its rural-like activities, which most can not do in big cities like Sydney or Adelaide. Also popular for the significant Aboriginal culture, rock engravings, and also home to silver mines, hence Broken Hill's nickname; The Silver City.

Do
Trekking in the Outback can always be different. While trekking in the summer will be boiling, while in the winter it'll be freezing. Better do it in Autumn or Spring, but still it's hot then.

Eat
Country food in Australia is simple and generally consists of steaks, lamb chops, beef and other basics. However, it can be difficult for a vegetarian to find a decent meal in many outback towns because many rural Australians just do not get this "urban affliction". It is always wise to pinpoint the supermarket and stock up on fruit, vegetables and other vegetarian staples. Be aware, however, that prices for fresh food are likely to be higher as the food has had to travel quite a way and fuel costs are factored into the food.

"Pub grub" is a fairly easy and quick meal for travellers. If it includes a smorgasbord, there should be enough to satisfy all dietary types. Chips, hamburgers and basic fried items are fairly staple pub grub but you will also find some pubs are more innovative and carry local cuisine.

Breakfast establishments are not as common as the diners found in North America but there is often a cafe or a "mixed business" (corner store) that will be open early and always keep an eye out for bakeries, where hard-working bakers will have been baking hours before you rise.

If you haven't a clue where to find a restaurant, always head for the main street. Most New South Wales country towns will have a congregation of eating places on the main strip.

Drink
Most outback towns have at least two places to get a drink: a pub and a club. Many towns have more than one pub. Some quite tiny towns have three or four, which speaks more to better times in the past than unusual alcohol consumption today.

Clubs are generally either lawn bowling clubs, or clubs for returned servicemen, none of which really matters these days, as anyone can use their facilities by signing in at the door. Clubs are often the main social centres of small towns; not only do they have sporting facilities, they also usually have a restaurant, poker machines and a bar.

In many cases, pubs also sell food (usually referred to as counter meals, because you eat them at the bar), and many also provide accommodation. Incidentally, pubs in Australia are often referred to as 'hotels'. This confusing practice dates from the nineteenth century, when it was decided that alcohol should only be served by places that also provided accommodation to travellers. That requirement was later removed, but the name persisted.

As a general rule, the locals drink beer and the usual post-mix soft drinks. Wine will also be available, but don't expect a wide selection. In very isolated areas, choices may be more limited than that. For example, the pub at White Cliffs only serves Victoria Bitter (generally known as 'VB'). If you pick the beer that isn't VB or Tooheys New, it may have been sitting in the lines for a few weeks. Best to go with the flow or pick a bottle from the fridge or not drink at all.

Stay safe
The crime rate in Outback New South Wales is considerably higher than the rest of the state, and many locals will advise you to completely avoid certain towns such as Menindee or Wilcannia, often linked to alcohol and drug abuse. Although crime is mainly targeted towards locals, vandalism of personal assets, including cars, is prevalent – avoid parking your car in dodgy areas, and avoid walking alone on downtown streets late at night. This inadvertently has resulted in many residents of Outback New South Wales to have a lower life expectancy, wealth, education, and health. While safety has considerably improved since the turn of the 20th century, these issues are noticeable on sight.

Another issue that should be kept in mind is that Outback New South Wales is massive; many travellers underestimate the size of it, including the New South Welsh. It makes up about a third of the state, or about the size of Germany. Never underestimate the distances, and always make sure you have enough fuel before embarking onto your destination.

Like other parts of the Outback, animal collisions are very common and you might see dozens upon dozens of dead kangaroos lying on the road. While it's generally safe to drive (most roads in Outback NSW have a 110-km/h speed limit), be extra vigilant during dawn and dusk – this is when most collisions occur.

Go next

 * Outback (South Australia) if you want to head west, or Central West (New South Wales) if you're heading east. Getting to Outback Queensland is a little more difficult although there are paved roads.

Fasano

Fasano is an Italian town of 40,000 inhabitants (2018) in the province of Brindisi in Apulia. Fasano is famous mainly for the Safari Zoo and Fasanolandia, but there are many other tourist attractions such as the national archaeological museum of Egnatia.

Understand
Located in the centre of an ideal triangle whose vertices are the cities of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto, about 50 km away, Fasano marks the border between Salento and the Land of Bari. Its territory includes various hamlets, extending for 15 km on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, penetrating the Valley of Itria.

Fasano is the most highly populated town in the province of Brindisi, after the capital city. It borders with the municipality of Monopoli to the north, the municipalities of Ostuni and Cisternino to the south, the Adriatic Sea to the east, and the municipalities of Locorotondo and Alberobello to the west.

The inhabitants are named "fasanesi" and their Patron Saints are San Giovanni Battista and Santa Maria di Pozzo Faceto. For years, Fasano has been confirmed as one of the top ten locations in the region in terms of tourist arrivals and presences: in 2018 it ranked sixth in Apulia, with about 667,000 visitors and about 157,000 arrivals throughout the year.

History
It originates from the Casale di Santa Maria di Fajano (Santa Maria de Fajano), founded in 1088 by part of the population that had abandoned Egnatia, a highly important port on the ancient Trajan Way. With the fall of the Roman Empire, the city of Egnatia was gradually abandoned. The emigrants took refuge in small rocky villages and founded several hamlets throughout the Fasanese and Monopolitan territory. Meanwhile, Egnazia was repeatedly sacked by the various invaders of Apulia.

On 2 June 1678 the people of Fasano experienced a memorable event: the Victory against the Turks. Tradition has it that the Virgin Mary appeared in the sky to lead the opposition of the inhabitants of Fasano against the Turkish pirates, who landed at night with the intent of plundering the city. That moment of glory is remembered every year with La Scamiciata, on the Feast of the Patron Saints: San Giovanni Battista and Santa Maria di Pozzo Faceto.

During the Fascist era, Fasano experienced a notable urban and infrastructural development: many important buildings were built, such as the I Circolo "Collodi" primary school, or renovated and transformed, such as the municipal villa and the Town Hall. In 1927, the province of Brindisi was established from the southern part of the province of Bari, of which Fasano was part, and from the northern part of the Province of Lecce. Also, during the Fascist era the cross of the Knights of Malta was removed from the municipal coat of arms. It was later restored with the advent of the Republic.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Fasano experienced another important urban development, thanks to various political figures of the time. Today Fasano is a tourist town with a great agricultural and artisan tradition.

In 2008 Caparezza shot some scenes of the video clip of Vieni a ballare in Puglia at the excavations of Egnazia and the dunes of Torre Canne, while in 2012 some episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful were shot in Fasano. In 2013, 2014 and 2015 the three seasons of the Braccialetti rossi drama directed by Giacomo Campiotti were shot in the town.

By train
The of the Ferrovie dello Stato (just outside the town), has a long-distance railway route of regional interest towards Bari, Brindisi and Lecce. In the territory of Fasano there is also the of the State Railways in the Pozzo Faceto district, with regional railway routes to Bari, Brindisi and Lecce.

By bus
In the city there is a coach service to the hamlets and a bus service to Bari, Brindisi and other neighboring towns, as well as some national destinations. The lines are Sita Sud, STP and Ferrovie del Sud Est.

By boat
There is also a small fishing port in Savelletri and Torre Canne. A tourist port has also been built in Savelletri.

See
In Fasano we can find Fasanolandia safari zoo and tourist resorts such as Selva di Fasano, Savelletri and Torre Canne, the seaside beaches, awarded for several consecutive years with the FEE Blue Flag, various accommodation facilities, the national archaeological museum of Egnatia, the Lama d'Antico rock park, the Dune Costiere regional park, the thermal baths of Torre Canne, various sports facilities and various events organised especially during the summer.

Do
The sea of Fasano consists of free coasts or in concession from Savelletri with the cliffs to Torre Canne with the beaches.

Eat
The dishes of Fasano are:
 * Taralli, rings made with flour, wine and oil.
 * Focaccia, a particular bread, similar to a very thick and softer pizza, which can be covered with tomatoes and olives, or stuffed with onions or turnips. The day in which all Fasanese eat focaccia is Good Friday, to abstain from eating meat.
 * Panzerotti, dishes prepared with homemade dough. You make circular pizzas, fill them with mozzarella and tomato and then fold them in half. You then fry them in boiling oil.
 * The zeppole di San Giuseppe, a typical dessert of the South. Fried or baked donuts, decorated on the outside with cream, black cherry and a little cinnamon. They are made on the feast of San Giuseppe.

Fayum

Fayum is a city in Lower Egypt to the west of the Nile, from Cairo.

Understand
Fayum is a forgotten gem off Egypt beaten track. Archaeological evidence has found occupations around the Fayum dating back to at least the Epipalaeolithic. Middle Holocene occupations of the area are most widely studied on the north shore of Lake Moeris.

In ancient Egypt, the city was called Shedet, a centre of the cult of the crocodile god Sobek (Koinē Greek: Σοῦχος Soûkhos, Latin: Suchus). In consequence, the Greeks called it "Crocodile City" (Koinē Greek: Κροκοδειλόπολις Krokodeilópolis), Crocodīlopolis in Latin. The city worshipped a tamed sacred crocodile called in Koine Petsuchos, "the Son of Soukhos", adorned with gold and gem pendants. The Petsoukhos lived in a special temple pond and was fed by the priests with food provided by visitors. When Petsuchos died, it was replaced by another.

Under the Ptolemaic Kingdom, the city was for a while called Ptolemais Euergétis (Koinē Greek: Πτολεμαῒς Εὐεργέτις). Ptolemy II Philadelphus (309–246 BC) renamed the city Arsinoë and the whole nome after the name of his sister-wife Arsinoe II (316–270 or 268), who was deified after her death as part of the Ptolemaic cult of Alexander the Great, the official religion of the kingdom.

Under the Roman Empire, Arsinoë became part of the province of Arcadia Aegypti. To distinguish it from other cities of the same name, it was called "Arsinoë in Arcadia".

Get in
By microbus from different regions in Cairo e.g. Ramsis Square and also from different regions in Giza e.g. El-Remaya Square (Shotting Square) and El-Moneeb. There are slow trains from Cairo too.

Fátima

Fátima is a world famous Catholic pilgrimage city and civil parish in the municipality of Ourém in Portugal's Beira Litoral region.

Understand
Fátima (FAH-tee-muh, /ˈfa.ti.mɐ/) is a world-famous place of Christian pilgrimage in commemoration of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary reported by three young shepherds (Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta) from 13 May until 13 October 1917. The Catholic Church later recognized these events as "worthy of belief". A small chapel, now known as the Chapel of the Apparitions, was built at the site of the supernatural events, and a precious statue of Our Lady of Fátima installed.

Due to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima, a Marian shrine complex containing two minor basilicas in Cova da Iria, the city has become in one of the most important international destinations for religious tourism, receiving between 6 and 8 million pilgrims by year. It attracts religious people and also those who seek the kind of peaceful lifestyle usually only found in convents and monasteries.

Get in
There are buses to and from Lisbon (1 hour) and Porto (2 hours 30 minutes) at least every hour from dawn to dusk. A round trip can cost up to €25. From Fátima bus station, it is a short walk of a few hundred metres along the streets with shops and hotels to the Sanctuary (the Marian Shrine).

Do not catch a train to the misleadingly-named Fátima station, as this is over 20 km by road from the city.

Get around
It is a short walk from the bus station to the basilicas and the Chapel of the Apparitions. It is also possible to walk to the Way of the Cross in Valinhos and to the Aljustrel village, the birthplace of the children who claimed to see the Marian apparition.

Within the city there is an electric mini train.

See

The Sanctuary of Fatima, also known as Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, is a group of religious buildings and structures in Cova da Iria, a place in the civil parish (freguesia) of Fatima.

In addition to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the sanctuary comprises the Chapel of the Lausperene, a great oak tree (near which the famous Marian apparitions occurred), a monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Chapel of the Apparitions, where three children Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, were first visited by Virgin Mary. In addition, several other structures and monuments were built in the intervening years to commemorate the events associated with the events in 1916, including: the Hostel/Retreat House of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Rectory, the Hostel/Retreat House of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a segment of the Berlin Wall, monuments to Fathers Formigão and Fischer, a High Cross (by artist Robert Schad), and individual monuments to recent popes. Across from the main sanctuary is the much larger Basilica of the Holy Trinity constructed after 1953, owing to the limited scale of the Marian shrine for large-scale pilgrimages and religious services.

Do
For Catholics visiting Fátima as a pilgrimage, there are several masses daily at the basilicas and at the Chapel of the Apparitions.

Do a tour to the places surrounding the Sanctuary of Fátima or even to the medieval Castle of Ourém, where you can drink "Ginjinha", the special morello cherry liqueur.

Buy
The street between the bus station and the church are lined with shops that sell church-related items (rosaries, statues of the Virgin Mary, etc). The Basilica itself has a shop as well. Some items of note are rosaries with a little bit of earth from Fátima (€3-€4.50). With several masses each day at the Basilica and at the Chapel, there shouldn't be a problem finding a priest to bless the rosaries after you purchase them.

Eat
Do not forget to taste the pastries of Fátima (Pastéis de Fátima).

Sleep
Fátima is a city of hotels and guesthouses, so it's not difficult to find a place to sleep. Budget accommodation with breakfast starts at €30 for a twin room. If you want to book in advance via hotel booking web sites, the time for best prices is approximately one to two weeks before your stay.

Around town, there are also some lodging alternatives for those who want to get away from the conventional hotels. Here are some examples:

Fürth

Fürth (also Fuerth; especially when the letter "ü" is unavailable) is a city in Bavaria, Germany in the region of Franconia. It is right next to Nuremberg, so close that they are basically attached to each other. Unlike Nuremberg, Fürth suffered only a few air raids in World War II, so most buildings were untouched.

Understand
During the Middle Ages Fürth was jointly governed by the city of Nuremberg, the bishop of Bamberg and the count of Ansbach. Therefore Fürth's coat of arms shows a cloverleaf. Fürth is also older than Nuremberg, dating back to November 1007.

Fürth had a large Jewish population before the Nazis expelled or murdered them (the most famous being Henry Kissinger, who was born in Fürth and fled to the USA when the Nazis came to power).

As is often the case with cities that close to each other Nuremberg and Fürth enjoy a fierce rivalry that is even more pronounced in soccer, with both teams being dominant in Germany for most of the 1920s. While there is not much love lost between the two cities today, attitudes (outside of soccer games) are more relaxed now than they seem at first glance and the rivalry is mostly folklore.

By car
On the A73 just north of Nuremberg.

By train
The railway between Nuremberg and Fürth was the first in what would later become Germany. There are direct rail connections to Erlangen and Nuremberg, but for most places farther away it makes more sense to change in either Nuremberg or Erlangen and take the S-Bahn or another regional train from there. has three stops in Fürth: Vach, Unterfarrnbach ( Klinikum) and Main Station.

By subway
From Nuremberg, take subway line U1. Alight at or.

By plane
The closest airport is Nuremberg. From there take the subway (U2) to the main station and then either another subway (U1) or a regional train. There is no regular train service (yet) connecting the airport to the train station, but at 12 minutes (NUE to Nuremberg main station) by subway there is hardly any need for such a connection. Instead of doubling back into central Nuremberg, you can also take bus line number 33 which goes via some outer districts and takes 30 minutes to Fürth main station.

From Frankfurt airport take the train to Nuremberg and from there on to Fürth. From Munich airport you can take a regional train with the Bayern ticket (€23 per person + €4 per each additional member of your group) that is valid on all regional trains (no ICE or Intercity, but all RE and RB as well as all S-Bahn trains) and also on the Nuremberg-Fürth subway and all VGN buses.

By bus
Although some domestic bus lines do stop in Fürth, it might be more practicable to alight in Nuremberg and take the subway to town, as the Nuremberg ZOB (right next to the main station, about 400 meter on foot to the subway) has more connections than Fürth does.

Get around
You can travel to just about anywhere in Fürth by foot or via bus. If a bus is not available, you can always take a taxi or ride a bike. Local public transportation is provided by VGN, see here for timetables and ticket prices.

By bus and subway
You can buy tickets at electronic ticket machines located at bigger bus stops, all subway stations, all train stations, and from bus drivers. Tickets can be purchased with cash or card, but the ticketing machines do not accept bills larger than €20 unless your purchase exceeds €30. A one-way ticket within Fürth costs €2.50. If you plan on taking more than 2 one-way rides, it will make sense to buy a Day Ticket Solo B for €5.30 or a Day Ticket Plus B for €8.70. The Day Ticket Plus allows up to 2 adults and up to 4 children under the age of 18 to ride within 2 specified zones as much as they want. Fürth city buses have free WiFi and USB ports to charge a mobile device.

When traveling from Fürth to Nuremberg (or vice-versa) buy a Day Ticket Solo A for €8.10 or Day Ticket Plus A for €12.30. There are also discounts for students, children between the ages of 6-14, and senior citizens. Children 5 and under ride free.

Buses and subways in Fürth are all handicap-accessible.

Bikeshare
Fürth is part of the VAG Rad scheme. Bikes can be rented via the app for €0.10 starting fee plus €0.10 per minute. You can return the bike at any of the fixed stations throughout Fürth, Nuremberg, Erlangen and Schwabach or in the "Flex Zone" in central Fürth, Nuremberg and Erlangen.

Do

 * Take a walk in the beautiful Stadtpark (city park). Most parts of Stadtpark are still in typical 1950s-style of German city parks. If you walk along the Pegnitz river (which is adjacent to the park) you will arrive in downtown Nuremberg in about 2 hours, just follow the signs labeled "Nürnberg Altstadt". On your way you will pass "Auferstehungskirche" (resurrection church), a neo-classical church; Uferstadt, former Grundig factory which is now a business and research park with Rundfunk museum; and "Mainau", a little park with medicinal spring ("Gaggerlesquelle" in local dialect).
 * Take a walk around the old city. You may for example start on Königswarter Straße and then head West towards the city hall and then over Gustavstraße, side streets and St. Michael's church. Fürth Altstadt has typical franconian baroque style buildings. Innenstadt around Schwabacher Str, Hirschenstr. and Friedrichstr. as well as Königswarterstr. is one of only few almost complete city centres in Historism and Art Nouveau in Germany.
 * Take a walk along Rednitz river (Uferpromenade) with nice impressions of river and Altstadt. North of Altstadt Rednitz and Pegnitz flowing together to Regnitz river.

Buy
On the Fußgängerzone (pedestrian zone) you will find department stores and small shops ranging from antiques to groceries. They are scattered around downtown, but since downtown is so small, they are all a short walk away from one another. Just take a walk from the main train station through a square called Fürther Freiheit and to the Fußgängerzone in the direction to the town-hall; you will come along most shops on this route.

Souvenirs and postcards are not so easy to come by in Fürth. But, you will find a small selection in the local Tourism Office (across the street from the Main train station). Otherwise, you will just have to look around in all the little shops for anything you might like.

Füssen

Füssen in Allgäu is an enchanting town in the south of Bavaria, Germany known for the Hohes Schloss and its Basilica and former Benedictine monastery of St Mang. The world famous Neuschwanstein Castle is situated a few kilometres to the east. Some visitors come to tour the castles and leave immediately afterwards leaving the beautiful little town unexplored. This is a great pity as there is much to see in Füssen and the surrounding area if you know what you are looking for! There are magnificent lakes with beautiful views and the "Kalvarienberg" which has the "Stations of the Cross" on it.

By train
From Munich, direct trains leave about every two hours and take two hours. There are more frequent connections if you are prepared to change trains somewhere along the way.

From Innsbruck, head to Vils in Tirol (a small town 7 km from Füssen), Ulrichsbrücke-Füssen (the stop before Vils) or Reutte in Tirol. Bus 74 runs from Reutte to Füssen via all these stations. Bus 71 runs from Vils directly to the castles. Innsbruck to Füssen takes about 3 hours.

By car
Füssen is on the end of the Romantic Road, coming from Augsburg as Bundesstraße 17 (B 17). From Munich take the Autobahn A 96, leave at Landsberg Ost and follow the B 17. If you come from the north via Autobahn A7, take the last exit before the Austrain border.

By bus
Maybe the cheapest way to get there: Many bus tours are operated to Füssen from most parts of southern Bavaria, often including a visit of the fairy-tale castle Neuschwanstein. Watch for tours at Munich main station (Hauptbahnhof).

Get around
Füssen is small enough that a car is not really needed. There is a bus to the castles and the trains to Munich and Augsburg and the old town is easy enough to access by foot. You can walk to Neuschwanstein and Hochschwangau castles via some marked roads; travel times posted on the signboards are comfortable over-estimates.

There are some great areas nearby, like some of the lesser-known castles, which would be easier to reach with your own car. It is possible to rent a car in Füssen.

Another alternative is to rent a mountain bike. There are numerous shops, one even right at the train station. Füssen has invested a lot into developing a network of bike routes and paths to make biking easier.

In the town
Füssen has a compact but well-preserved pedestrianized Old Town (Altstadt) that's well worth a wander. The skyline is dominated by the Hohes Schloss (High Castle), the former summer residence of the prince-bishops of Augsburg.
