I am new to this forum - any help would be much appreciated.
We have 4 days in Germany - starting in Stuttgart where we fly into, picking up a car and then driving back to Calais on return home to Scotland. Want to make best of trip, we like history. Help with nice but not expensive accommodation - although one night in somewhere really nice, exclusive, peaceful historical would be great. Best places to shop for great German products, Villroy Boch etc Are Lindberg/Starck designer spectacles a good purchase in Germany compared with UK? That is something for a co member to get their teeth into!
Donna
I promise I will make my first post on my return.

Planning on flying into either Berlin or Munich before heading to Poland. The question is, which city? I am interested in Nazi History and the jews and WWII.
I am also interested in the museums.
Yet, I am also interested in castles and medieval towns. So its a tough call.
Feedback on both cities would be appreciated.

We are doing this
http://gcerc.wordpress.com/
We will be in Berlin, for a night but not much of a morning, then it's the train down to Prague.
An important part of the plan is to have some interesting gastronomical experience at each of the great capitals we pass through by way of a picnic on the train between stops (will be visiting, near as damn it, every capital in western Europe, and a few other places like Barca, Venice and Istanbul).
I know about great German seedy bread, I think there is a decent bakery in the main station, but we need something a little out of the ordinary to go with it. The kind of stuff you dont normally get. Everyone on the trip will have been to Berlin at least once before, bratwurst isn't really going to make it, unless you can tell me that "the finest sausage in all of Deutschland can be had with in 15 minutes of the station".
Anyway, if you know of any great delies (they can be expensive, we're doing several local equivalents of Harrod's food halls along the way) or just some suggestion for something so Prussian only the Prussians know about it etc, or a web site I need to pour over, then please let me know. Don't worry if it's hard to get, if it's interesting enough we have mates on the ground who can help us get it worked out.
Danke

Hi there,
I'm travelling with a friend to Munich next weekend for the Champions League final. We literally get in at 10 am on Saturday and leave straight after the game - but we wanted to know what were the MUST SEE things in Munich - definitely want to check out some of the beer halls!
Also are there specific English pubs/bars?
Thanks for your help!

I am taking an early train from Freiburg im Breisgau to Frankfurt airport. The train gives me a 6 minute connection in Mannheim. Does anyone know if that is long enough to change trains with luggage?
Will it be in on the same track?

Hi
I will be travelling down to Munich for the Champions League final, weekend 18-20 May.
We have booked a hotel in Allershausen, which, looking at the map is not on a train or tram line.
Could someone advise me of the best way to do the following by public transport as I will need to leave my car at the hotel:
Allerhausen - Munich City Centre.
Allianz Arena - Allerhausen.
Don't mind getting a taxi to and from the nearest station to Allerhausen.
Many thanks
Bill

I'm going to be staying in Bullay and see that the village is just outside the VRT zone, but that travelling from (e.g.) Traben-Trabach to Trier by train would take you through Bullay station.
My question is, can I buy a VRT ticket at Bullay and use it for a train journey starting there and going to Trier ? Maybe the VRT website (in German) covers this point, but my German isn't good enough to understand it!
Thanks experts.
Regards,
D

Please help
I've booked a ticket on train from Dusseldorf International to Kehl. But the problem is my flight land in Dusseldorf Weeze and I'm not sure that I'm able to catch my train.
On the ticket is written that it's valid for IRE,RE,RB and S trains. So, the questions is can I use that ticket on another route that is also goes from Dusseldorf International to Kehl the same day and the same types of trains?
Also there is a route from Weeze to Kehl that is very similar to the first one I mentioned but it involves NWB train. Is my ticket valid on this train? Thanks!

Hi there,
I have applied for a job based in Erlangen, and I hope that I get it! One of my great loves in Australia is diving. I always have to explain that I mean platform diving, into a pool, off a board.
Does anyone know whether I could continue to do this living in Erlangen? I only started doing this about a year ago, and I am in my late forties. I say this only to make it clear that I am not bound for the Olympics or anything! It is purely for my own enjoyment and challenge, but I love it.
I would really appreciate any replies,
Lucy

Good Biergarten?
Good pub kind of place with CIDER?
