Find HotelsIf you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a few days in Belgium (Brussels, Bruges) between France and the Netherlands, which are easily reachable by train. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine Munich’s day trips (Neuschwanstein and Dachau) into a single day and replace one of the Dutch day trips (e.g., Utrecht or Delft) with a relaxed day in Amsterdam, keeping the overall experience balanced while reducing travel fatigue.
