Hi everyone! i love lurking on this forum and thought I would ask for some help. I'm an American currently doing an Erasmus Mundus masters program in Europe, and I'll be studying in Vienna in the spring semester. We have two weeks off for spring break, and my dad is going to come visit. He lands morning of March 25 in Munich and leaves Sunday morning from Vienna. Here's my stab at an itinerary:

Monday March 25 - arrival in Munich, spend day/night
Tuesday March 26 - Munich day/night
Weds March 27 - leave Munich for Salzburg in morning, spend night there
Thurs March 28 - Salzburg day/night
Fri March 29 - leave Salzburg for Vienna in morning, spend afternoon/night there
Saturday March 30: Vienna day/night
Sunday March 31: trip ends
I might go to Munich a day early (Sunday March 24) and spend the night there by myself just so I don't have to take a really early train on Monday. I know we could easily spend a full week in all three places probably, but he really wants to see Vienna because that's where I'll be living, and neither of us have been to Germany or Austria, so we're trying to cover some ground.
We're both very active and like to walk a lot, and I personally am an urban cycling/public transit nerd (the masters is in urban studies). Would love recommendations/advice for:
- areas to stay in/hotels in Munich and Salzburg (he'll just stay near my apartment in Vienna when we're there)
- food and drink in all places
- activities in all places minus art museums (sorry)
- anything regarding the proposed itinerary! the only thing that is booked is his flight that lands in Munich on March 25.
