Best weekend trips from Munich

Think there is some holiday coming up, so thought I would go and visit somewhere, take advantage of being in central Europe!

Have always fancied Rome so think I will end up there. Milan might be cool also.

Would welcome suggestions for other places within easyish access for a weekend visit by train most likely or car share (if they go that far) and sure people here will have good suggestions. (Personally I want to rule out Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic - only cos I've been there not so long ago not cos I dont like it!)

Its not that I can't look at a map, its just that I've had bitch ass journeys to places relatively close and something easy in a short time would be great.

Thanks.

Rome for a weekend? umm...well...we had 8 days and that clearly was not enough.

good luck with that.

for sure, but i only here till christmas, and its easier than going anywhere from scotland. im not saying its enough time to do everything i just want a weekend away!

I did Rome in a few days, after spending time in Florence I wasn't so keen on the museums there.
Venice, Florence, Rome are all nice weekend trips from Munich. If you can rent a car the area around Portofino Italy and CinqueTerra are also a great long weekend trip.

prague, Budapest, Vienna, Berlin, go visit a former roommate of mine (and former rower) in Southern France. She'd welcome a visitor.

done prague and vienna, was thinking somewhere more eastern or southern, ie warmer!

Not been myself but Croatia is not soo far away and is supposed to be nice.

Rome is great, but I prefer Florence as well. Or even Venice. I was just there last weekend. We drove and it took about 5 hours. Good time of year to go because it's a little less crowded. But if it's Rome you desire, you could certainly hop a train and be there in about the same amount of time. Cool city, but v. busy and dirty. Great people watching though!

Grab a Bayern-Bohemia ticket and hit Plzen for the huge Brewery/Tour..

yuck. i had to stop in that town and i didn't even want to be stuck there while i was. i wouldn't voluntarily go there. make up your own mind though. it could be nice. i know i didn't really give it a chance.

i'm telling you... visit my friend in France! IF you like drinking and being with a weird spastic person then you'll have the time of your life (by spastic i mean she's hilarious and just weird, but in an entertaining way).
