Hello,
I am flying into Frankfurt Late September to meet a colleague and will then travel with her to Munich for a few days (i think for a piece of Oktoberfest). I have about a week-10 days (kind of flexible). I have the option of hanging with my friend in Munich or taking off on my own and doing my own thing - meaning, I can fly home from anywhere really.
I have never been to Europe and I know this is barely enough time to see anything but should I try to squeeze in some other countries/sites? Any ideas?
Thanks!

I wouldn't try to do other countries. Stay in one or two spots and get to know them. Have the attitude that you will return for other places.

Germany is a beautiful country. There is plenty to do around both Munich and Frankfurt. Maybe if you tell us what your interests are, we could make suggestions.

Hi dam,

>....I know this is barely enough time to see anything but should I try to squeeze in some other countries/sites? <

You know that the answer is "No".

Enjoy your week in Germany.

lol thanks for the answers. i will enjoy germany.

A qualified No. If in Munich, you could make a daytrip or, preferably, an overnight stay in Salzburg.

Salzburg is a really nice city and has great day trips from it - St Gilgen, Berchtesgaden/Konigsee, etc. I would recommend splitting your time between Munich & area and Salzburg & area.

thanks. i think that is what my German friend had in mind as well
