Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a day in the Scottish Highlands to visit the Isle of Skye or a day in Munich's surroundings to explore the Bavarian Alps. To shorten the itinerary, combine the Edinburgh and Highlands days by taking a guided day‑trip to both Loch Lomond and Stirling in a single day, and skip the Regensburg day in favor of a relaxed final day in Munich before departure.
