I warn you though it's disturbing, at least it was for me, I couldn't eat or sleep for the rest of that day and the next after visiting.Bembeltown said:If you want to sort of "ground" yourself I would advise to visit Concentration Camp Dachau which is close to Munich.
And don't forget to do the funny walk. The Germans love it.Bembeltown said:Electric Blue said:Frankfurt is a great place- the old town Sachunhausen or however u spell it is bang on
Its called Sachsenhausen! :)
Local drinking district, but imho not worth it to travel up to Frankfurt from Munich just to get pissed. ;)
No worries about the Fawlty Towers comments...its all banter and part of the fun posting here.
If the locals don't understand your english, just make sure to speak louder. Increasing volume somehow makes us magically all understand English at certain volume levels. ;)

Yep, visiting places like this could easily ruin the day.
Doesn´t mean that they are not worth going to. Bur if you think about visiting a "Disney castle" or a fun park afterwards, i would think of it as a plan that has gone terribly wrong.

yes, i think they have the highest number of pub breweries in one town in germany
I think I'm looking at a 6 hour train ride to Prague. I booked flights today, just have to figure out where to stay now. All I know is City on Wed. and Oktoberfest on Sat.

Deutsche Bahn coach is the best bet to Prague from Munich, should take about 4 hours 40 minutes roughly. Not the quickest, certainly, but comfortable and not too expensive. I certainly wouldn't advise going for the day though; Prague was a suggestion for if you were thinking of staying in a second city.
Nuremberg/Bamberg would make for a decent day out. Franconia is lovely (and full of great beer).

Cheers mate. I would go for two or three nights if I go (I think I will, I'll take the bus). The long trip put me off but what the fuck, I might not get another chance to go.
