Tips

If you prefer a more leisurely trip, consider extending your stay in Amsterdam by 1-2 days to explore lesser-known neighborhoods like De Negen Straatjes or take a boat tour. For travelers on a tighter schedule, reducing the Munich side by 1 day and prioritizing must-see sites like the Residenz and Neuschwanstein Castle can help maintain a rich experience without feeling rushed.
