My wife and and I will be backpacking Europe this June and July for our honeymoon. Our route is pretty much set, but we came across a problem. On one leg, we're going from Venice-Budapest-Munich-Paris. We've been looking into how to travel from Venice-Budapest, but it's really been a hassle. We do not want to take a train trip that long and figured we would just fly. Every flight we look into is 6+ hours because there are stops, we cannot find anything direct. Ryanair does not have a flight on the day we want to go. These dates are set, so we cannot move around our days. As much as we wanted to see Budapest on this trip, this seems like a lot of effort and hassle to plan, and would take a lot of time out of our sightseeing time. We know we will be back and do not have a problem saving it for a different trip, one more Eastern-European based.
Therefore, we now have three days for a new location. Does anyone have any suggestions for a destination either between Venice-Munich or Munich-Paris that would be nice for three days? We're both 26, enjoy history, food, beer, and just exploring the city, immersing ourselves in the culture. A smaller city or town might be nice, as everything up to this point would be big cities. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you SO MUCH in advance!
