Hello! I would love to get some help with our travel itinerary for early June. We are starting with a few days in London, and then we will head to Austria and Bavaria for about 12 days. I will be travelling with my husband, two daughters (ages 5 and 8), and my mother-in-law and her partner who are in their 70s and early 80s. Here is what we’re thinking so far:
Salzburg – 4 nights (staying outside of the city center at the Schloss Leopoldskron). Is this too many nights?
Munich – 2 nights (Is Munich a good city with children? Should we only spend 1 night here and then move on to the south?)
Garmisch-Partenkirchen – 6 nights – (We would use this as a home base (we plan to rent a car) to visit Fussen and see the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castles, Zugspitze, Lake Eibsee, the Parnach Gorge. I think we’re going to skip Halstatt since it seems very crowded. I’d love to take the girls on a toboggan. Any recommendations? Are we missing anything? Are we spending too many nights in this location? Would you recommend a shorter stay and then us going to either Mittenwald or Berchtesgaden or somewhere else?)
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
