Plenty of visitors to the Romantic Road are doing the route as part of an organised tour or a dream vacation overseas where little expense is spared.
But there are cheaper options along the way. Each town and village has plenty of guesthouses or b&bs - and there are also hostels located along the way to help out those who are really looking to save their money.
Some of the hostels are private but most belong to the official youth hostel associations of Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg.
Hostels with the "Check Availability" button underneath offer the ability to see if accommodation is available on desired dates through our travel fulfilment partner Booking.com. Click on the button to see whether rooms are free.
