We had asked for pilsner, but ended up with Radler. Later in the trip we learned that Radler is indeed beer mixed with lemonade. That is just gross.>>

actually it's a well known drink in the UK [and i now learn Germany] which we call a shandy. my mum likes it on a hot day. not gross at all, but not what you were expecting!

nice TR though.

We have always liked Radler. Sounds gross but we like it.

Seems like you hit all the highlights of Bavaria that I enjoy. I could taste the food you described and I'm salivating from the beer you consumed.

Too touristy? Perhaps but I love it. What a fabulous trip for your children. I'm sure it will instill travel to other countries.

Thanks for the great report. Makes me want to go back soon!

Fourfortravel, I enjoyed reading your trip report! Our family will be traveling this summer from NoVa to the Salzburg area (via Munich) and your report was both helpful and entertaining. I'm trying to do as much research I can about traveling to Europe, where to stay our first and last few nights (already booked a place for the middle of the trip near where you stayed in Salzburg), and what to visit in the area. Now I'm trying to figure out if we should spend a night or two in Munich upon arrival or stay near Chiemsee (or somewhere in that general area) before moving on to Salzburg. So thank you for your trip report and best wishes on your next European adventure!

Thanks Fourfortravel, so cool to find a 'new/unread' tr. We've just decided on Salzburg for Xmas this year, so I'm madly reading new and old reports. yours is great.

Thanks for the Radler headsup, we too call them Shandy's annhig (hi again) or if you don't want the ratio to be too in favour of lemonade its "a beer and a dash', perfect on a hot day.

hi aussie - glad to see that you've settled on salzburg. I'm sure it'll be lovely, even if it doesn't snow.

i think we need a bit of a winter warmer at the moment - a Glühwein or Jägertee would hit the spot more than a refreshing shandy!

travelwithfive, did you make the trip? Did I miss your report?

aussiedreamer, thanks for the helpful notes about Radler; I don't think my husband will ever be game to try it again, though! I'm jealous of your trip to Salzburg for Christmas, I'm sure it will be beautiful.

Traveler_A, our next adventure is in about a month--we're taking the children to Krakow. I'm tuning back into the forum more regularly to finalize the trip plans now. How was your Salzburg trip?
