Need suggestions for Germany and switzerland itinerary.
Hi,
We are family of 3 (me, husband and 18 yrs old son) planning a trip to Germany and Switzerland August 2026.
I am in the initial planning stage and thinking of following itinerary. I need suggestions if my itinerary doable.
Day 1 - Land in Munich hotel check in and relax( get adjusted to jetlag)
Day 2 explore Munich
Day 3 rent a car from Munich and drive romantic road to Rothenburg ob der tauber. Explore small towns on the way. Stay night at Rothenburg area.
Day 4 Drive to stuttgart. Explore the Mercedes museum and Porcha museum if possible. Stay a night
Day 5 Drop off car in stuttgart and take train to Wengen Switzerland. Is this double?
Stay Day 6 to 8 in Wengen and Explore the area. Need recommendations on the iterinary. We like to do short hikes, few activities and walk around the villages.
Day 9 Lucerne. Stay 3 nights in Lucerne. Need to plan activities for 2 days in Lucerne and surrounding area.
Day 12- fly home from Zurich.
A few questions,
Are 4 nights in Wengen good amount of time?
Should I stay in Zurich instead of Lucerne?
Are there any other ideas I should consider?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
