We are planning about a two-week vacation in December in and around Germany. We have about 3 nights scheduled based in Munich with side trips, but then move on to Salzburg for a few days.
I%26#39;m looking for recommendations about whether to stay another night in Munich or move on? Or, is the night train between the two a good idea?
We are 30-somethings traveling as a married pair.
Thanks!

This may depend on what you wish to do while you are there as much as anything. I%26#39;d be inclined to suggest %26quot;moving on%26quot; after three nights and taking in some of the area surrounding Salzburg ( but common to both, really) with the additional time. More outdoor things to do and see. For markets, museums, and such, Munich would warrant the extra day.

Salzburg is only about 2 1/2 hours from Munich by train. No night train necessary! Three full days in Munich would give you a good feel for the city. Two full days would probably be good for Salzburg.

Train ride is 90 minutes from Munich to Salzburg but Salzburg is a different world from Munich. Very much enjoy both but we spent 5 nights in Salzburg last year (5th time for me) and 3 in Munich (4th). From Salzburg, day trips into the Salzkammergut are just fabulous.
And our last two trips have been in December. The Alps are simply stunning!
So 3 in each and if I was adding a day, it would be to Salzburg to day trip to St. Gilgen and St. Wolfgang one day, Lake Koenigsee another, Berchtesgaden another.

I would spend the extra day in Salzburg or the surrounding area. Salzburg (the old city) is so much slower and more relaxed to me than the hustle and bustle of Munich. Although, we are spending equal time in both on my upcoming trip!
