Neuschwanstein Castle absolutely lives up to the hype, the kids were more excited about this than any theme park we've taken them to. Cologne's cathedral and chocolate museum combo at the end of the trip was a smart way to close things out.
Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, each city bringing something different, kids stayed engaged throughout.
The Hofbrauhaus big hall and live band had even our shy youngest tapping along.
Munich as a base for this trip has a lovely mix of culture and food, worked well for our family. Frankfurt felt like more of a transit stop than a destination in its own right, which is fine but worth knowing beforehand.
Great itinerary overall, from the beer hall to the cathedral. The one letdown was the castle surrounds turning into a bit of a tourist trap, stalls crowding the path and food priced for captive visitors. Munich and Cologne felt far more genuine.
The castle itself, Neuschwanstein, is stunning but the whole area around it has turned into a bit of a tourist trap with overpriced food and pushy souvenir stalls right at the entrance. Munich and Cologne portions of the trip were far more pleasant and less commercial.
June to August, when the weather is ideal for exploration and outdoor activities.
