Day trips from Munich
I'm trying to find out about possible day trips from Munich by public transportation. I've been to the Fussen/castles area and also to Saltzburg which seem to be the two most often mentioned day trips. I haven't been to Munich itself and am considering it for next summer but only if there are at least a few day trips that would make sense. I've heard you can do Rothenberg but can't seem to find anything about it now that I'm actually looking.

I think Rothenburg would probably be too far away from Munich for a daytrip. You can use www.viamichelin.com for drive times or http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en for the train schedule.
You may have had a hard time researching Rothenburg because you were spelling it with an "e" instead of a "u". Its a common mistake but may help with your research.
Good luck!

There are some tours (I think I remember Grey Line as one) to Rothenburg that leave from major hotels in Munich. They leave early AM and return late - I think they say the whole day will be about 12-13 hours. It's on a nice bus and I forget how much it cost, but somewhere around 50 € per person I'm guessing.

I checked viamichelin and they say it's less than 2 1/2 hours driving. But I don't want to rent a car and can't seem to find public buses (or trains) that go there from Munich. Aggie- that's good to know, maybe a t our group would work.
Any other Bavarian towns or villages that you can get to by public transportation?

isabel, according to the German rail website (http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en), the train from Munich to Rothenburg is about 3 hours and 15 minutes including two changes.
If you are still looking for interesting daytrips, perhaps you could consider Nuremburg. Its a great town with a neat historic center. We spent a day there in May and really enjoyed it. It is about an hour and a half from Munich by train with no train changes.
Oberammergau is a beautiful little town and is also less than two hours by train from Munich, although it does require one train change.
Good luck!
