Combine nearby places
Group attractions by location. Oberammergau village sights work well together, while Ettal/Linderhof and Garmisch/Eibsee are better treated as separate regional clusters.
Leave room for breaks
A main attraction plus one or two smaller stops usually creates a better day than a long checklist. Add cafés, restaurants or shopping as natural breaks.
Check current details
Opening hours, transport, mountain lifts and annual event schedules can change. Verify time-sensitive details shortly before your visit.
