We did a lot of traveling when we first arrived in Dublin but after our beach vacation in Malaga<\/a>, we took a bit of a break before heading to Germany for a 10-day driving tour through the country. We started in Munich, where we met my parents from the states, then visited Nuremberg, Leipzig, Wittenberg, and Berlin before finishing up in Hamburg and flying back to Dublin for Christmas with the whole family.<\/p>\n

Our eldest daughter, Honeybun was 2 1\/2 and our younger daughter, Sugarplum, was 5 months at the time of our visit. We packed a lot in to our German trip including a lot of history and, of course, time at the Christkindlmarkts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are the basics of traveling to Munich\u00a0with kids:\"Traveling<\/a><\/h2>\n

Getting Around<\/h3>\n

We flew RyanAir into Memmingen which is considered “Munich West” and is about an hour outside the city centre. We rented a car (huge passenger van) for the trip so\u00a0loaded all our suitcases, car seats and both girls in for a speedy journey down the autobahn. Once in Munich, we\u00a0only used the van the first two days when we visited the Bavarian palaces and castles, Nymphenburg Palace and Schloss Neuschwanstein. The other days we were able to walk from our rental apartment right in the heart of the old town, near the Marienplatz.<\/p>\n

Kid Accessibility<\/h3>\n

Even in the snow (which moved in overnight after we arrived and continued every day of our German trip) it was easy to get around Munich with kids in the buggies\/strollers. We had brought two buggies for the girls but because we were so close to everything in Munich, we rarely took both. Usually I carried\/wore Sugarplum or Honeybun walked.<\/p>\n

Taking a buggy into most restaurants and museums wasn’t a problem though we did choose to fold it up to get it out of the way most of \u00a0the time while eating.<\/p>\n

Eating in Munich with kids<\/h3>\n

In Munich, we mostly stuck to local restaurants and traditional beer halls. Our kids were always welcomed and Honeybun easily found things she enjoyed eating from sausages to the giant pretzels and even tried some new foods she hadn’t had much experience with before like sauerkraut and pork knuckle.\"Traveling<\/a><\/p>\n

Preparing for a trip to Munich\u00a0with Kids:<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m big on planning our trips ahead of time because traveling with kids makes things just a little bit more complicated as they aren\u2019t always very patient when you don\u2019t have a plan so I always did a lot of research and planning before our trips.
