Hi. We are planning a trip for next July. We will be flying into Frankfurt with 2 teens. We can either stay around Frankfurt (Wurtzburg, Heidelberg) or other recommendations or travel to Munich. If we go to Munich, we were thinking of going from airport to Wurtburg and see the palace and spend night #1. Then, Day #2, take train (Bayern fare) to Munich stopping in either Nuremburg or Regensburg or both. Day #3 train to Ludwigs Castle, Day #4 Munich sights 1/2 day, fly out 5pm to other destination in Europe.
Questions: What would others do? Stay around Frankfurt and fly out of FRA or travel to Munich? I know there is also a Romantic Road bus, but I think our teens would do better on the train, in which we can decide as we are on the train to get off or go straight to Munich.
If we have a 43 minute connection in Nuremburg, is the old city close enough to get a look at the town square, souvenir shop, for 20 minutes or so? Otherwise, the next connection is 2:43 hours. And, is it worth it to stop for 3 hrs in Nuremburg (which would mean not stopping in Regensberg)?
Lastly, I got such great advice to go to Wengen for my Switzerland trip on this forum (which I would have never considered)--so, anyone have a completely different recommendation for flying into FRA on a Sat and leaving from any airport that SAS flies from on Tuesday. We like old architecture, walled towns, castles, not so much big cities and museums for this leg of our trip. Thanks, Elaine
