We are doing this river cruise in October, 2025. We are thinking of going to Munich a couple-few days early. Any suggestions for things to see and do in/around the Munich area (that aren't on the Tauck itinerary)? We can even rent a car and do some day trips. Thank you.

I am not familiar with this itinerary but if you enjoy food markets, Munich’s Viktualienmarkt is a great place to wander through and sample regional specialties.

Driving or taking the train to Nürnberg (Nuremberg) makes for an easy day trip or two-day stay because of its historical significance. The Documentation Center Museum focuses on Hitler’s Nazi Party and offers a very poignant, but sobering, experience.There are also several other museums that might be of interest.

Enjoy your tour.

Nina Loo, We did this tour in October, 2024 and enjoyed it very much. I loved Munich! We arrived a couple days ahead and using Rick Steves to plan our time did 2 walking tours of the city using Radius Tours (Third Reich Tour and Discover Munich) and spent time at the the Documentation Center that kfnknfzk mentioned. Rick Steves has a walking tour of the city that was very helpful as well.

kfnknfzk, when you did the Nuremberg day in Germany did you hire a guide there? And if not, how is it getting around the city from the train? Uber? Taxi? Thank you!

Hi, mazalea.

My time in Nürnberg was very brief. I took a taxi upon arrival at the train station and either walked or took a taxi after that. I was my own guide.

If you go, I highly recommend the Documentation Museum. I wish I had more time to see more of the city.
