Today I tell you about our last stop in Germany, the capital city, and how we spent our precious 48 hours in Berlin.

Between Munich and Berlin, we spent time with family and friends for Christmas in a small town about an hour away from Cologne. It was very relaxing and by far our laziest days of the trip!

One of our most active days, however, was our first day in Berlin. We arrived in Berlin late at night, which meant that we would wake up with two full days to explore the city.

It is located in the small town of Fussen, which is about 2 hours by train from Munich. Most people choose to visit the castle as a day trip from Munich, but you can also stay in Fussen itself. To make the best of your trip there, here are 10 things you should know when you plan your visit to this late 19th century castle.
