Germany trip upcoming in June

@rodndtube

Appreciate this information! When in Munich this past June, we just did the daily tickets for 13 euro or so for both of us, to train/bus/etc... around town. But I know this time, since we are just focusing in Munich for the 10 days or so (versus having a car and driving all around the country like last time) I want to smarten up on the transportation a bit more.

The Bayern ticket looks perfect for what we need. Mainly, this time, we may travel to/from Nuremberg/Bamberg, Salzburg, Aying and other cities within the network. We also want to head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen to take the cable cars into the Alps, which appears to be on that ticket as well.

It looks like we just buy this ticket on the day of travel at any of the 'DB' kiosks in the train stations, so easy enough.

Thinking we will do the daily tickets for 13 euro or whatever for most days, but pick up the Bayern ticket for the days we plan to head out of the center.

What is the benefit of the VGN? Website is a little tricky to understand... What is it's purpose beyond what the Bayern Ticket, for example, would offer me? Transportation around those respective cities vs. just the main train station via the Bayern Ticket?

We also plan to pick up a car for a few days in Munich, as we thinking we may drive into Italy for 2-3 days for some things we'd like to do. But aside from that, all other days will be in Bavaria for the most part this time.

Oh, and Kelheim looks awesome from what I saw in my little research from what you had noted. Might have to make that stop, for sure! Thanks for the heads up.

 

Finally uploading my pics from the trip... For those who want to see the pics, I throw them up on my Flickr. So far, just Cologne. I will note when I throw up Munich/Bamberg as well likely this week sometime.

This trip was just my phone, S9. I didn't want to lug my "real" camera gear with me on this trip since it was our first trip to Europe with all the walking and such. Didn't want to carry the weight around!

 

Thanks @jeebeel! I am happy to finally get around to getting them uploaded. Had around 4,000 photos I believe, so just narrowing down is a chore in itself, haha.

Not my Munich/Bamberg album, but I have uploaded the small set from Dusseldorf last night. We were only here for a few hours, but it was a good time!

I was late getting to this, but I uploaded the next photo set from our time in Munich!

Thanks! Yes, I still have Bamberg pics to go through, likely to be uploaded early next week as I have another photo set that will be up Friday (Europa Park in Rust, Germany). I will post when those Bamberg pics go up though!

 

Finally posted up the Bamberg photo set! (kind of forgot about it...)

Hotel Nepomuk, right next door to Kolsterbrau. Right on the river, our room overlooked it directly, it was beautiful!

Immediately after, we were on our way to either Schlenkerla or Spezial most likely!

As far as the Fat Head's coaster, it was actually a sticker we brought along to give to friends and such we met up with! Fat Head's is our "home" brewery, so enjoying the German version of Hop JuJu was pretty awesome at Weiherer... It was really well done. A nice change of pace to have something so "American" after the two weeks of lighter, German lager and Hefe. Their Rauchbier was oh so good, as well. Awesome stop!
