Tips

To extend your trip, consider adding a day in Hamburg to explore the harbor and the Miniatur Wunderland, or spend an extra day in the Black Forest region for hiking and scenic drives. If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the Alpine hike and spend that time exploring Munich’s museums and neighborhoods, which still offers a rich cultural experience within fewer days.
