Neuschwanstein Castle exceeded all expectations! Despite the crowds, the interior tour was fascinating and the views of the Bavarian countryside were breathtaking. Pro tip: hike up to Marienbrücke bridge for the perfect castle photo opportunity.

Berlin's Museum Island is a cultural treasure trove! I spent two full days exploring the five museums and still didn't see everything. The Pergamon Museum's reconstructed ancient monuments were particularly impressive. Only downside was the ongoing renovation work.

The Christmas Market in Nuremberg was magical! The historic setting, handcrafted ornaments, and delicious food created an unforgettable atmosphere. The Glühwein (mulled wine) kept us warm while we shopped. Worth visiting Germany in winter just for this experience!

Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland was impressive with its attention to detail, but the extreme crowds made it difficult to fully enjoy. I'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours or seasons. The Switzerland and Scandinavia sections were my favorites.

The Rhine Valley boat tour from Rüdesheim to Koblenz was the highlight of our trip! We saw countless castles, picturesque villages, and vineyards along the way. We disembarked at several stops to explore and sample local Riesling wines. Perfect day trip!
