Btw: Why not dropping the rental car in Berlin after checking in at the hotel. Safes a train ride and shouldn't be substantial more expensive.
Hi all --- I still haven't settled on Dresden vs. Bamberg...

But keeping the car until Berlin sounds good. It turns out that there is an Avis return withing a few hundred yards of the Intercontinental where the conference is happening.

I think I'll do as recommended above

Yes, the Avis drop off is just around the corner. A five minute walk.

Late to the game, but I vote for Erfurt - nice little town to spend a night in.

You have to make a reservation and it books up fast, but there are no-shows for the tours and they let walk-ins join to fill them out. My tour was fully booked (12 people) but only 8 showed. In german on the hour and english on the half-hour.

Hi all.

greetings from Berlin. It is gorgeous here.... mid 70s and sunny.

dropped the car off a couple of blocks from the hotel .. no muss no fuss.


we ended up staying in Bamberg. It was gorgeous. Our hotel , the Nepomuk, was right on the water near a falls in the old city. Beautiful. Good beer and some traditional food. Lots of lederhosen and dirndels in the streets.



thanks to all for the help. This is (one of he reasons) why I love FT!
