Tips

If you have an extra day, consider a day trip to the fairy‑tale town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber using a regional train; the journey is about 2 hours each way and offers more historic sights. To shorten the trip, skip the BMW Museum and replace the Englischer Garten bike rental with a leisurely walk, saving both time and a few euros.
