Bayreuth, Germany

Bayreuth, Germany This German town lays claim to not one but two of the world’s greatest opera houses. Most music lovers know about the acoustically perfect  Bayreuth Festspielhaus , built in 1876 by composer Richard Wagner as the home for his summer music festival. But the city also contains the grandest Baroque theater in the world, the  Margravial Opera House , built between 1744 and 1748 by Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia. Named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012, the theater has been closed for repairs for the past six years. It reopens in April 2018 with a performance of  Artaserse  by the 18th-century German composer Johann Adolph Hasse ( tickets  go on sale in February). Bayreuth also makes an excellent starting point from which to explore the rest of the region, famous for its hundreds of Bavarian biergartens and vineyards producing internationally renowned Franconian wines.

Tourism to the region took a leap forward when it hosted the World Rafting Championship in 2017 — putting its turquoise Class Four rapids firmly on the adventure-travel map. New ziplines and hiking trails are sprouting up in the canyons, while upgrades have been made to accommodations in the area’s traditional thatched-roof farmhouses, or  minka s.  Chiiori House  is the most luxurious; the property also maintains an  excellent portfolio  of more affordable options.
