Hello everyone!!
This July my family and I (4 people) want to fly to Munich, be there maybe 1 day, then travel down to Flüssen, because we really want to see the Neuschwanstein castle. Afterwards our plan is to go to Austria and be there most of the time, travelling by car, ending up in Vienna. And from Vienna we could take a train to Prague and finish our trip there.
I wanted to ask
1) if you have any recommendations as how to combine this Munich-Neuschwanstein trip with travelling within Austria, especially as I know there are fees if we rent a German car and take it inside Austria. Maybe it's better to take a train from Munich to Flüssen and back, and then take a train from Munich to Salzburg and rent a car when leaving Salzburg?
2) If there is any itinerary you suggest inside Austria, as we would love to see cities such as Innsbruck, Salzburg, and Hallstadt, but perhaps Graz and Linz, for example, are too far off the main route. Maybe even Innsbruck is hard to go to, if we take a train from Munich to Salzburg. I also see many people who suggest using a car, but others train, so I don't know if there is any suggestion, especially having only 2 weeks. We would love to have a car to be able to stop every now and then at random towns, but perhaps there's not really time for that.
3) Is it doable to include Prague in this itinerary, as in Munich → cities in Austria including Vienna → Prague in 2 weeks?
Sorry for the lengthy post, and thank you so much for any advice you can give us!!
