On our way by train from the Harz area to Munich, in October, we have 2 days to stay somewhere we’ve never been before. We are interested in exploring both towns and can get from one to the other in an hour by bus or train. What we’d like some help deciding is which town to choose for a base for two nights. We’d be arriving by midday, staying 2 nights and leaving midday for Munich where we are staying two nights before our flight home.
EDIT: We like art, history, music, beer, cultural food choices, charming towns and cities. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
