Frankenmuth, MI
This midwest location still carries the same charm it did when it was first founded as a Bavarian mission colony for Lutherans in 1845.
Affectionately referred to as “Little Bavaria,” this central Michigan town’s colorful, wood-heavy architecture looks like it’s been transported right out of a Franconian village.
To get the entire Bavarian experience, stop by one of Frankenmuth’s German restaurants for schnitzel, soft pretzels, and overflowing beers. And even take a tour on the historic, paddle-powered Bavarian Belle Riverboat to learn about the town’s roots.
Fans of Christkindlmarkt decor will also be pleased to know the town is home to Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, which is known to be the world’s largest year-round Christmas store.
