We are looking to travel to Germany in August/September 2020. Beginning to decide on an itinerary. We will have 3 days in Munich and 3 days in Berlin, with 3 days to travel between the two cities.

Question: Should we travel from Munich to Berlin via Prague or via Nuremberg? Which route would be better to see the most in the least amount of time?

Background: we like history (husband is a WWII history buff), outdoor activities, no problems walking long distances, like beer/wine and good, local food. Want a "local" experience. We will NOT have a car, planning to travel by train.

Thanks in advance!!

Well it takes most of a day Munich to Prague and Prague to Berlin

and there is too much to see and do for just one full day

so take Nurnberg route - check out the old Nazi Parade Grounds south of town - the stadiums and Parade Grounds and a memorial-documentation center of what happened during that time. And Nurnberg is a pleasant city but Rothenburg is nearby too and of course is very popular. Bamburg is really nice city. So Nurnberg route only makes sense due to limited number of days.

Trains are great - book your own discounted tickets at www.bahn.de/en - German Railways site - www.seat61.com has lots on booking own tickets - general info German trains - BETS-European Rail Experts and www.ricksteves.com.

May be via Weimar and KZ Buchenwald?
