looks like I'll be going to Berlin and Dresden as well... more places to see! 

oh... but it IS helpful !
thanks for taking the time to write it all down.
Your experiences are invaluable.
At the moment I'm still unsure what the travel arrangements will be like.
As it is a training trip to some production plants, I could be loaned a vehicle for self-drive, as it was the last time I went to switzerland for similar training.
Am waiting for my boss to give me the itinerary, so I can plan for places to visit![]()
thanks!The place is like a ghost town in the weekend. But there are some weekend markets now. Have fun![]()
My wife is going over for an exhibition so i'll be going over too, so do we can exchange a bit of info.
at this point, We've got about 5 days of free-n-easy (excl exhibition time). Was planning to spend some time at cologne, aachen. Wife wants to see a castle, so does anyone know any not too far away from dusseldorf worth the visit ?
also, is it worth buying first class train tickets (vs 2nd class should the occasion arise)
Suddeutschland (Stuttgart/Muenchen/Freiburg) is beautiful.
1) think about winter in dec
2) Visit Neuschweinstein near muenich !
3) stay in jugendherberge.
4) post us picture !!
hanseos said:It is better to go south . North German is flat and nothing to see.
Yes, Freiburg = small city territorial of Germany, you can take train to Bassel/switzerland or france very near.
Are you a football fans?
Ruhrgebiet has so many city to visit : leverkusen,koeln.
Berlin is far away, can see schloss sanssouci & ex DDR.
You can buy rail ticket , free to visit every city in germany.
or use mitfahrgelegenheit(mfg) is quite safe.
Have a nice trip!
