Germany in 10 Days: Day-by-Day Rail Itinerary with Budget (Printable + iPad)

Germany is easy to plan badly: long distances, rail works, timed tickets, Sunday closures and memorials that need their own time. This plan sorts the order, the trains and the costs for you.

This printable guide gives you 10 days and 9 nights by rail, one way from Berlin to Munich (or reverse it): Berlin, Cologne, the Rhine Valley, Heidelberg, Nuremberg and Munich with a Neuschwanstein day. Every day is planned from breakfast to dinner, with the cost of every stop and a realistic budget. Fees and closures were checked in October 2026.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• A day-by-day plan with train times: Berlin landmarks and Museum Island, the Wall Memorial and East Side Gallery, Cologne Cathedral, Rudesheim and the Rhine, Heidelberg Castle, Nuremberg, Munich and Neuschwanstein
• Respectful, separate time blocks for the memorial sites on the route, including the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the Berlin Wall Memorial, the Nuremberg Documentation Center and the Dachau Memorial Site
• The cost of every stop in euros: admissions and meal ranges
• A Google Maps link for every sight: tap it in the iPad edition for directions
• Where to stay: named hotel and hostel picks in Berlin, Cologne, Rudesheim, Heidelberg, Nuremberg and Munich
• A book-ahead checklist with the official booking sites
• Plan B: what to swap for rail works, closures, rain and winter
• Day 3 options (Potsdam or Dresden) and add-ons: Hamburg and the North, the Black Forest and Lake Constance, and the Romantic Road with Rothenburg and Bamberg
• A full budget sheet with a column for what you actually spend, plus a page of costs not in the sheet (flights, rail tickets between cities) and lodging totals for budget, mid-range and luxury
• Two editions: a printable PDF and an iPad edition with a tappable contents page

PERFECT FOR

• First-time visitors to Germany with about ten days
