Berlin, Prague, Munich

We are planning a 9 to 10-day trip this July from Berlin to Prague and ending off in Munich. We will be arriving in Berlin on Friday night, so the first full day will begin on Saturday.

Day 1 (Sat): Berlin
Day 2 (Sun): Berlin
Day 3 (Mon): Berlin (side trip to Potsdam?)
Day 4 (Tue): Early transfer to Prague
Day 5 (Wed): Prague
Day 6 (Thu): Early transfer to Munich, but probably left with half a day in Munich.
Day 7 (Fri): Munich
Day 8 (Sat): Munich
Day 9 (Sun): Munich
Day 10 (Mon): Early flight back

Any thoughts/advices on this? Should we include a day in Dresden after Berlin/before Prague and reduce a day in Munich, or stay with the current itinerary? Thanks in advance!

Cut one day in Munich and add that to Prague.
In comparison to Prague I did not find Munich all that appealing.
It may a good base to explore other places in Bavaria.
Others here will have something to say I'm sure.

I think you need to weigh up ...

Am I likely to revisit the route Berlin >> Dresden >> Prague ?
vs
Am I likely to return to Munich ?

Munich is a gateway so is certainly easy to get to again one day.

Day 0 (Fri): Arrive Berlin (4N)
Day 1 (Sat): Berlin
Day 2 (Sun): Berlin
Day 3 (Mon): Berlin (side trip to Potsdam?)
Day 4 (Tue): Early train to Dresden (1N)
Day 5 (Wed): Late train to Prague (3N)
Day 6 (Thu): Prague
Day 7 (Fri): Prague
Day 8 (Sat): Train to Munich (2N)
Day 9 (Sun): Munich
Day 10 (Mon): Early flight back

Thanks for the replies!

@Jazz+Travels I will likely cut a day in Munich, but not too sure if I should do an extra day in Prague. Any side trips from Prague that you would recommend, or 3 full days in Prague?

@djp_syd Higher chances of returning to Munich than revisit the Berlin > Dresden > Prague route. But I'm thinking of visiting Dachau and/or Fussen from Munich so maybe one day less there and 1 full day in Dresden?

If you want to see basics in Prague you need about three days. For a day trip you can choose from three nice castles: Karlstejn, Krivoklat, Konopiste. To see smaller interesting towns: Kutna Hora - a historical silver mining town. Or Melnik - a wine town.
