7 days Romantic Road Trip - Germany

Monday, June 15, 2015

So much about Paris, here's the update on the latest road trip that we went to lately..


We had about 7 days road trip in Germany, driving along the Romantic Road from Frankfurt to Munich.. 

The actual main romantic road was from Wurzburg to Fussen.

The main things to plan for was that you need to have all the way points you need for romantic road especially if you are going to just have a DIY free and easy one where you book everything yourself. From the car rental to the hotel bookings. Here's one of the guide you can read: http://www.romanticroadgermany.com/general/travel.php

Nuremberg is not exactly part of the romantic road but it's a pretty big city with lots of shops but you can walk around it though.. I think you should just stay over for a day if you are actually going there. But because it's city, parking isn't cheap so make sure the hotel you are staying has either fixed full day / overnght parking rate or free parking in order not to burst your wallet.

Also, you need to have the parking disc for some of the places you wish to visit.. You can either buy a parking disc or get one for free when you pump petrol (if you can get a translation for it to get your message across). I'd say that Munich petrol / diesel pricing was actually pretty good so if you don't really need to pump your petrol, you can pump them all when you reach munich. Otherwise, you would need to keep an eye on the prices as it varies along the road at the middle of it, it's the most expensive though.

The reason why you need a parking disc is because certain places allow you to park 1 or 2 hours for free then after which, you may get a fine. 

Also, do take note that on Sunday or public holiday, there's no shopping area open so it's actually best to plan such that you are visiting sight seeing places on Sunday and not in any actual town / city (e.g.  Nuremberg, Fussen, Munich, Frankfurt, etc).

If your car rental comes with GPS like ours, it would be perfect.
