I am itching to go back to Europe in December to include the Christmas holiday and I've been researching Munich since I see some reasonably priced airfare available. I would probably do 10-14 days for the trip. I don't want to deal with a rental car, so will use public transportation/taxi/Uber as needed.
I don't really mind cold weather (I live in it). It would be nice to see the Christmas markets in full swing. But I would not be going just for the markets. I want to do regular sightseeing as well -- cathedrals, castles, views, some museums, etc. I figure I would do day trips and/or spend some nights in nearby places. Going to Salzburg, Austria would definitely be included.
I already found this previous thread for Munich in November.

I could expand this to be a more regional trip spending fewer nights in more places such as Nuremberg, Heidelberg, Colmar (France), Strasbourg (France). I just can't decide on the balance of more/less train travel that I want to do. I would probably want to fly round trip Munich since that's the airfare deal. But I guess I could do some more looking into flying into one city and out of another city.
Does anyone have any more suggestions?
