Looking for recommendations for my trip to Western Austria & Munich in early May!
For context, I’ll be in Switzerland with some friends before going off on my own for 8 days/7 nights. I’m flying home from Munich.
I’ve traveled a lot but never to Austria or Germany. I’ve thought about staying 4 nights in Austria (Salzburg?) and 3 nights in Munich, and doing a few day trips — based on quick internet searches, Innsbruck, Halstatt, Berchesgaden, neuschwanstein castle, etc.
So I’m wondering if there are other cities I’m overlooking to stay in and what the best day trips would be ?!
It seems like there are so many day trip options that I'm overwhelmed! Not sure if it'd be better to stay in Munich the whole time instead and do day trips to Austria... any insight would be valuable.
I’m a female solo traveler in my mid-20s. I love cities with a laid-back vibe and beautiful nature, great coffee shops and bakeries, and pedestrian-oriented areas.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!
