Make sure you get a place near the Stadtmitte or the Isar River. There are so many. Hostels are a great experience. Like a cheap Bed and Breakfast, but the host families are wonderful and so is the food. (usually included in the price). A lot of times these are people who own one of the old huge houses and rent out rooms just to pay the bills to heat the darn thing.

It is always worth seeing Neuschwanstein and its neighbor Schwanngau. The whole region is great- Garmisch and Oberammergau are opportunities for photographers. If you like hiking and gorges, the Partnach Glam is also right there. It’s been carved from glacier water. Still being carved today. So, yeah! I’d take the trip.

In Munich stay in the middle of the city in the shopping district. Great food, street vendors, entertainment and of course, food. The subways are also little oases of interest that we used to visit OFTEN as high school kids. All around the Isar are parks. April will be full of flowers.
