Another vote from Dresden ... but enough about that.
You say they are doing this without car? Yikes...for me, too many stops and transfers for parents to manuever with suitcases. It sounds like more of a back-backing itinerary. I'm 50 and too old to rough it. I vote for a rental car.
My parents are also in their 50's. And I am trying to create an itinerary where they would take day trips from town, like Nuremberg. That is why I am asking for suggestions on which town to visit fro there (Wursburg, Bamberg already on the list).
Is it inconvenient to travel from Nurmberg to stay overnight at Rothenburg (I want them to go on that famous night tour) with suitcases? and continue to Mainz/Cologne like you and others suggest?
I actually convinced my dad to take rental car - showing him that distance to cover in several days is not that much. We travel 300 miles to Las Vegas from LA in 1 day - the same distance needs to be covered in Bavaria in few days. I am concerned about traffic and how easy it is to travel on autobahns.
If taking a car - take it from Munich or travel from Munich to Nuremberg and take it from there? Use for day trips to Bamberg and Wursburg or only to Rothenberg and Mainz/Cologne?
Thank You
