Der Krautland

So, going to Germany Dec 9th-ish thru the 16th-ish, dates not entirely finalized yet, but it will include Dec 12th for Rammstein in Stuttgart. We will also be staying 7 days, probably mid week to mid week, leaving after I get off of work on Wednesday morning.

The big question that we're having issues planning for, is how to spend our time. We're going to have 6 days in Germany, obviously at least Saturday will be spent in Stuttgart, but from there, we're at a complete loss for what to do, where to go, and how long to plan on spending places. Should we plan on spending a whole week in Stuttgart? Is there enough to do there to keep us busy? Take a night train over to Munich on Sunday morning, fly home out of there? Is there enough in each location to keep us busy for 3 days? Should we toss in another city and spend 2 days in each?

Having never been abroad, I've got virtually no ideas how to plan this out to stay busy and have stuff to do, but at the same time, I don't want to come back going "aww, man, I really wish I had another day to spend in XXXXXX."

So, how long do you guys normally spend in specific cities? Is a day or 2 plenty to see and do everything, or do you need/want more than that? If that's plenty of time in a city, where else in the region would be a must-hit place since we're there?

I'm not sure where Stuttgart is but if you're going anywhere near Heidelberg or Trier you should check those out for a day trip. Both are great tourist cities with lots of castles and old roman shit.

Also, when you're leaving Germany prepare to be crotch checked by a dude before getting on a plane. It's quite disturbing when you're not expecting it but once you're through the section you can stand back and watch the female guards feeling up the female travelers. Quite hot.

I'd suggest the christmas market in Nuremberg. And the Nazi monuments are here too. I can show you around in Nuremberg.

Where are you arriving?

Heidelberg is pretty close to Stuttgart, Trier not so much.

Oh, dude, I totally forgot about you. I musta hit the boards before you did this morning, didn't see any of your posts, and then didn't think about it.
