Berlin, Munch and ?
 
We are a couple from India visiting Germany in January 2013. Have about 8 days and will be starting our tour from Berlin.

What would you suggest....?
Berlin, Munich, Vienna
OR
Berlin, Munich, Prague

About how many days do we spend in each...

We are not fans of museums... Love architecture, eating/drinking, photography....

Thanks!!

Berlin, Munich and Vienna, but since you're going to Munich, I would visit nearby Augsburg

8 days isn't much to see 3 places. I would confine your trip to Berlin and Munich and maybe do one or 2 day trips. For example, from Berlin you could do Potsdam or Dresden, and from Munich you could do Salzberg or Innsbruck or Fuessen.

Hey sapnamit18
If you just want to stay in Germany, I would suggest you go to Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, or Cologne.
If you want to see a city outside of Germany, why don´t you go to Paris or London? There are so many great cities here in the area.
Each city has more to offer than just museums. How are you going to travel? By train, plane, car..?
Have a great trip and enjoy your time over here!

as noted, 8 days is too short for 3 cities (IMO)
Berlin and Munich are very different...I would stay five days in Berlin, three in Munich.

Ditto the above comments for two cities only for 8 days!

Each city (Berlin and Munich) could take 8 days easy.

Daytrip out of Munich to Garmish if you want to see the awesome alps!

I think 8 days for 2 cities is tight, especially considering travel between the two. Initially I was planning Munich and Berlin for 10 days, but decided to stay in Berlin the whole time, and really see it. And even then, I STILL didn't have time to do all I wanted to!
