Moving city to city by train instead of flights felt so much more romantic, and Munich's Hofbräuhaus evening was loud, joyful fun.
Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne by rail gave my partner and I the perfect European honeymoon. Every city felt distinct, from Berlin's raw modern history to Munich's traditional beer culture. The detour to Neuschwanstein Castle was worth every bit of the journey, fairytale towers rising out of the forest mist.
Berlin's history hit us harder than expected, the Reichstag and the wall memorials both. Munich's beer hall atmosphere was pure joy for both of us. Only issue was the Frankfurt to Cologne train got delayed by almost two hours.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber felt like stepping straight into a postcard, medieval walls and all, with my husband beside me.
Doing Germany by train with my husband was such a relaxed way to see four completely different cities. Rothenburg ob der Tauber felt like walking through a postcard, medieval walls and all.
A wonderful romantic holiday, though Frankfurt honestly felt like the weakest link next to the other three cities. We'd happily have handed one of its nights over to Munich instead.
