Due to airline availability/cost, we have a short trip planned to Munich during Christmas 2024.
Arrive in Munich 8am Christmas and depart morning of December 30th. I know it’s not long but we enjoyed a similar quick trip to Prague that we felt was worth it. It may be the last trip we take with my son for a while as he will be a senior in high school and plans to join the military.
Any advice for itinerary? We don’t mind getting up early. My son and I love WWII history. My wife wants to go to a Christmas market. We all love the outdoors. My wife refuses to let us do a bike tour, but we usually do a walking tour/hop on hop off bus to get an overview. We really prefer to stay based in a hotel in Munich and don’t want to pack/unpack to stay in other hotels. We will not have a car.
Rick Steves lists trips from Munich, but recommends staying the night (alps, Salzburg, Nürnberg). If we are just taking day trips, which should we prioritize?
Any help with a suggested itinerary for us? We don’t mind long days/ lots of walking. We are usually upset if we don’t get at least 20000 steps while traveling, haha.
