Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay by a few days to explore the Bavarian countryside, such as the charming towns of Rothenburg ob der Tauber or the lakeside resort of Tegernsee. Conversely, to shorten the trip, you can combine the Salzburg and Neuschwanstein day trips into a single “Bavarian Highlights” tour and skip the Alpine Zugspitze excursion, still capturing the essential sights of Munich.
