I didn't think I'd be doing this so early, but I noticed that hotels in Salzburg are already booking up in summer (I know why), so I figured it's time to start making reservations.
This forum has been so helpful in critiquing trip plans, so here's my basic one. We have 3 kids: 12, 10, 6. We will be using trains mostly. We like cultural sights, historical sights (the older the better), castles (Bergs over Schloss), biergartens, and gondolas. We have been to Europe as a family twice, and seen a lot of Germany. My two youngest girls are super into the Sound of Music, surprise surprise.
7/10 Fly into Vienna
7/10-7/14 Vienna 4 nights
7/14-7/18 Salzburg 4 nights
7/18-7/19 Werfen to visit castle and whatever else
7/19-7/21 Spittal an der Drau to visit a friend, this is a must
7/21-7/24 Innsbruck 3 nights, or somewhere near, limited because of lack of car
7/24 Munich (we have to end here because we are taking a flight to meet Turkish friends in Bodrum)
If we had more time we would use it.
Any thoughts?
Vielen dank!
