Now to my question. This upcoming September my now fiance (then wife
) will be Traveling to Europe on our Honeymoon. We'll be there for 13 days and have decided on visiting Amsterdam, Munich, and Prague as our three main stops. Our plan is to fly into Amsterdam and stay 3 full days, then spend 7 days in Germany going through Munich (traveling by train), and then spend 3 days in Prague.
As this is the Germany sub-forum, my question revolves around our travel through Germany. Specifically, should we make stops and spend a night or two in different cities on our way to Munich? Or will 7 days in and around Munich (we're planning on renting a car to take day trips) be good?
We're looking to take in the culture, eat great food, drink good beer, and see the sights (Castles? Awesome!). We aren't too interested in Museums or Art.
What would you recommend? Stop on our way from Amsterdam to Munich or head straight to Munich?
Thanks for your help!
Definitively take your time. I personally think that Munich is overrated. If you'd like to see some different sights on the way, think about spending a day in Cologne, and another day to visit the castles in the Rhine valley (much more authentic than, e.g., Neuschwanstein, which I'd avoid if I was you). On the way to Prague, Regensburg or Nuernberg would be another two interesting cities to visit (both cities have medieval city centers, different beer culture than the Bavarian one,...).
