Travel to Munich and Salzburg, 2007

Doris and I had a short travel to Munich and Salzburg from August 5th to 10th, 2007. This is just a brief summary providing links to the photo gallery.

We took an early ICE train from Vienna directly to Munich. I’ve never really been to Germany before. We brought our luggage to our hotel near the central station and visited the inner city afterwards. To be honest: Vienna is more beautiful than Munich. In the afternoon we visited the Olympic Park, went up the Olympic Tower and had dinner at the “Little Oktoberfest”, where I got the first Maß of beer in my life.

The next day we went to the Viktualienmarkt, after what we visited the English Garden and had lunch at the beer garden next to the Chinese Tower, where I got the first Weißwurst of my life. We had a little boat trip at a small lake in the English Garden. For dinner we went to the famous Hofbräuhaus.

On day three we went to Schloß Nymphenburg and had lunch at the beer garden Hirschgarten. In the afternoon we were shopping some delicatessen at the Dallmayr, and had dinner at the Weiße Brauhaus.

The next morning we took the train from Munich to Salzburg, where the weather became rainy. To be honest, Salzburg isn’t that overwhelming, except if you’re totally into Mozart. Salzburg is seen within one day. We rent a Smart via LaudaMotion.com and went to St. Wolfgang where we were staying in a guesthouse and had dinner at the local pizzeria.

The next day we had a short look at St. Wolfgang, but unluckiliy I got ill. Next day we were driving back to Salzburg, returned the Smart and took the train back to Vienna at noon instead of waiting until the later afternoon as originally planned.
