MP_MFC Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Planning on heading to Germany for a week or so in the July. Initial idea is to spend a few days in Berlin and a few days in Munich. We'd be getting the train between the two cities and have only been to Berlin. For Munich, where would people recommend staying or would another city be better? Other option is getting a train to somewhere else from Berlin - poland / czech republic and flying back from there, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider Gdansk and the nearby beach towns seeing as you're going in July. Good and cheap flight links back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Munich is a tremendous city for a tourist, particularly if you are a fat b*****d who loves his food and bevvy like me. Hotels can be pricey towards the centre but there are plenty of reasonable places within a 10 minute journey of Hauptbanhof. So much can be seen on foot from there, though the public transport is typically German(Very good) if you'd rather do that. While I would generally suggest leaving the pubs that are in and around Marianplatz, there is a wee boozer just behind the Frauenkirch called Tobacco which is one of the best pubs I have spent a night in. Proper drinkers pub and the barstaff were outstanding in terms of chat/banter and knowledge of the bevvy they sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYRSHIRE_ANGUS Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 We did a Monday daytrip to Salzburg during a footballing weekend in Munich, its about an hour and a half on the train I seem to remember. Followed by 1860 v Gladbach at the Allianz Arena which rounded off a magic day. We've stayed at the Ibis Munich City near the main station a couple of times. Very handy and fairly priced.

MP_MFC Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Looking at making it 10ish days. Current plans are going a mini tour starting at Berlin for 3 days, Munich for 3 and then either Vienna or Prague. Any recommendations for either of these places?

I was in Berlin last year and stayed at the Titanic Gendarmenmarkt, which was very nice, but quite expensive. The Citymapper app covers Berlin and is really useful, getting around by bus and Ubahn is really easy. The area round the French Cathedral has loads of places to eat. I'd recommend staying round that side. Towards Alexanderplatz is probably cheaper, but scruffier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Agree on the Vienna shout, Prague is great too though. From Munich, we went on a day trip to Lake tegernsee, was only like ten Euro return on train and about an hour away. Beautiful lake and village with a really nice bar/restaurant overlooking the lake.

Stellaboz Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 If you want to visit some out of city stuff, visit Potsdam. Nice big park with big old mansions of that floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Last bump for this, off to Berlin on Monday, Munich on Thursday and then down to Verona the following Monday.Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Nurenburg and Regensburg are well worth visiting when heading towards Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
