  • Days 1-2

    Munich & Neuschwanstein Castle

    Start exploring Munich at Marienplatz to catch the Glockenspiel show at 11 AM. "The traditional Bavarian dinner in Munich was a highlight - try the Weisswurst with sweet mustard, but remember to peel the casing first!" Visit Neuschwanstein Castle the next morning. Book the 9 AM tour and arrive 45 minutes early to get your tickets. The walk up takes about 30 minutes. Skip the busy horse carriages and take the shuttle bus to save time.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Swiss Alps Adventure

    Take a 4-hour drive through Austria and Liechtenstein to reach the Interlaken region. "The Jungfraujoch excursion was worth every penny - even in summer, the snow was pristine and the views incredible." Take the first train up at 7:30 AM to avoid crowds and get better views. Bring warm clothes since it stays below 32°F at the top even in summer. Visit the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne around 8 PM for the best sunset photos.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Italian Lakes & Tuscany

    The trip from Switzerland to Lake Como takes 3 hours. Stop for lunch in Bellagio but walk up to the higher streets for more authentic restaurants away from tourists. When you get to Florence, "Get to the Duomo by 8:30 AM - lines are shortest before the first tour groups arrive." Skip the leather demonstrations and go to San Lorenzo market for better leather deals.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Venice & Return

    Take an early train to Venice to make the most of your time. "Skip the overpriced gondolas and take the #1 vaporetto down the Grand Canal at sunset - same views for €7.50 instead of €80." On your way back to Munich through the Dolomites, stop at Lago di Landro in late morning for perfect mountain photos.

    
  • Day 9

    Munich Departure

    Store your bags at the central station (€6 per locker) and visit the Viktualienmarkt food market. "The market opens at 8 AM - go early to watch locals shopping and grab fresh pretzels for breakfast." Plan for 45 minutes to get to the airport on the S-Bahn.
