Hello everyone!
My mother and I will be in Munich for about a day and a half (we'll arrive mid-afternoon on Friday and be driving to Salzburg the evening of Saturday after 7pm - please don't comment on it being rushed, we enjoy the quick sites and are spending more good quality time in Venice and Salzburg).
We want to essentially do the RS Munich Walk and maybe go inside one or two of the churches for a Quick Look. My mother may want to tour the Residenz - is that worth it for us after also seeing Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, and Hohenschwangau in the days before? We won't have time for any of the other wonderful palaces in and around Munich. I'm concerned that touring the Residenz would make the rest of the day even more rushed.
We also found out that Saturday is the opening day of Oktoberfest. We intend on quickly seeing the opening parade as it passes by our hotel around 10:45am and maybe going to the fairgrounds for an hour or so to people watch. We don't drink and don't even like non-alcoholic beer, so we wouldn't be interested in going into any tents or riding any rides. Would 1 or 2 hours give us enough time to get the feel of the festival and then head out?
Thank you!
