München
Our visitors usually stay at the Novotel München City. It’s right at the S-bahn (Rosenheimer stop), which runs through the middle of the city. Another one that is more family owned is the Münchener Kindl, which is located between Karlsplatz and Marienplatz (right off the shopping street).
A few extra tips for you. The subway prices are 11 euros each person over 6 yrs old for the weekly ticket if you only need the inner 2 rings – or you can buy a partner daily ticket for 9 euros for up to five people. Children under 6 are free. Both passes are good for buses, Ubahns, Sbahns, and strassenbahns (street cars). I’m not sure if you are coming from Florence by train or flight… The ticket you would use from the airport is 18 euros (since it’s in the outer rings, but it is good all day.
If you want to go to Neuschwanstein you should get a schönes Bayern ticket that costs 27 euros if bought from a machine or 29 if bought at the ticket counter. (This ticket can also be used as a daily ticket for up to 5 people as mentioned above). You can take any train that is not an ICE and it takes 2 hours. This ticket is good for up to five people as well. If you choose to go with a tour company it will cost 35 euros per person + the castle entry fee. The advantage of that is having a guide and they prebook tickets, but I think you wouldn’t have that long of a wait that early in the city.
