Itinerary help: Berlin to Munich

We're traveling from Berlin to Munich via train and would like to stop over for a night on the way to Munich. Any suggestions on places to stop? Wurzburg? Nurnberg?

Weimar and Ulm are both worthy of your consideration, perhaps.

Best wishes,

Wurzburg or Rothenburg. We did Berlin-Rothenburg in one day by train, and left the next for Switzerland. The under 24 hours were sufficient. I believe that Wurzburg has a Baroque Bishop's palace that is worth a visit.

Steph - couldn't help much on City Hotel Gendamenmarkt, but I might be able to help here! Getting to Rothenburg from Berlin can be a hassle with at least 2-3 train changes and then to Munich another 1-2 changes. The mainline from Berlin to Munich runs through Wittenberg, Leipzig, Naumburg, Bamburg, Erlangen and Nurnberg. All equally delightful cities, but I would recommend either Leipzig, Bamburg or Nurnberg. The connections to and from Wurzburg are also relatively easy. If you choose either Bamburg or Wurzburg have a glass of Franken Wein for me as it is my favorite German wine. Do enjoy your trip!

Bamberg is an absolute gem of a city. We spent 3 days there last June, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend it.

Thank you very much for the replies. I didn't even think of stopping in Bamburg. It sounds like a wonderful place. My husband is a history buff, so he is still pushing for Nurnberg, but we'll see. Thanks again for the recommendations! Much appreciated.

Not much Nazi history in Bamberg, but plenty of other history. Both an emperor and a Pope are buried there.

Steph - don't argue too much with hubby. Both cities are must see! Bamberg is small and on the quaint side, but indeed a real gem - whereas Nurnberg is much larger with much more to see.
