Not sure if you really want to drive from Prague to Germany, some of Poland is a bit rough as are parts of Eastern Germany. Lots of unemployment and right wing violent thugs.

just a thought

My wife and I have never been to Germany and are considering a holiday there next year probably in early September.

Because we can get cheap flights from our local airport we are considering two options at the moment;

1. Flying to Amsterdam and driving to Dusseldorf and then where-ever

2. Flying to Prague and driving to Dresden or Nuremberg or M ...[text shortened]... know about these areas and which might be the better choice would be very welcome

Thanks

i know, but the opening day (my favourite) is in September.
if you want to go try and book a table in advance, otherwise you'll risk standing outside the tents and not getting in (great if the weather is nice, rubbish if it's not)

Or you'll have to go to the wine-tent, which sucks (at a beer festival)

Why would you fly to Prague if you live in Switzerland? Just get on the Autobahn go North to Munich. You'll see beautiful countryside along the way.

I live in the UK and the cheap flights from my local airport go to Amsterdam and Prague.

They go to other places of course but these two airports give reasonable access to Germany.

Um.. I don't want to be insulting or anything but Prague is in the Czech republic so I don't know what Poland has to do with it; however thank you for taking an interest

oops cheers mate.
I always do that, it's happened to me soooo many times.
I've sent out monthly reports with that mistake in.

Thanks for pointing it out.

PS: Read the travel advice for Poland anyway, it's funny. Then read the travel advice for the Czech Republic.

Mmmmm..... After reading that I don't think I'll be doing any driving in Poland.


Fortunately they don't seem to have the same problems in the Czech republic.
