We will be in Munich, Berlin, and Freiburg for a total of 11 nights. Would love to dig into local culture and events -- music, fests, etc. Also curious about local foods, food markets, etc. Suggestions?
Stop in Erlangen between Berlin and Munich for the Bergkirchweih - May 25-June 5. It's been going 100 years longer than Oktoberfest.
