I have a unique opportunity to travel for a couple of weeks in April with my 29 year old son. We would like to finish in Munich sometime in mid to late April but other than that our itinerary is wide open. I know that the weather in Munich and environs can be rainy and cool at that time of year but we don't have flex on timing. What we can do is travel from most anywhere, which is fairly exciting! We have both been to France and to Italy more than once so perhaps we might begin our trip somewhere new? I am interested in Ljubljana but wondering if April is especially off-season there and things might be closed? Maybe Austria? Other suggestions? Easter 2026 is April 5-will that cause closures and travel complications in that part of the world such that we should avoid those dates?
We both love train travel so I am hoping for advice on a scenic journey that might involve stops for 2-3 nights in a couple of places along the way (for a total of a week or 10 days of exploring on the way to Munich). We travel slowly and enjoy good food, history and experiencing a new culture and would appreciate any fun trip ideas that you might share.
