Places to stay besides Munich, Germany for a few days.?

Question

I will be in Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest this year and will have two extra days. I wanted to know if there was any good towns to stay in besides Munich for those two days. I wanted to be close enough to be able to get back to the airport in time for my flight.

Answer 1

Garmish

Answer 2

You could stay in Augsburg, Ulm, Nürnberg, all of them are reachable withn 1 hour by train.

You could also make a trip to the Alps (1-2h by train).

There are many lovely places around Munich.

Answer 3

I live in Munich and I would say it should be no problem to spend an additional two days in town.

But I understand, when you are travelling, you would like to see as many places as possible :-)

Augsburg is great for a day trip, it only takes half an hour from the main station in Munich to get to the main station in Augsburg. It's a very old town - over 2000 years. Tell me if you want to know more, I grew up there :-)

What's also nice during this time of the year is to take a train to one of the lakes around Munich. Ammersee or Chiemsee are wonderful in fall. If you like hiking, this might be ideal.

In any case: have a great trip!

Answer 4

I would spend those two days seeing- read exploring- Munich. I lived there for two years and was still exploring- and had missed things- at the time I left. If you are driving, there are several places of interest somewhat outside Munich; it depends what you like! Dachau puts life in perspective. Although when I went it had not really begin to have visitors. Check the search engines for points of interest [obvious, right.].
