I am planning a trip to Germany for October. The main purpose of this trip is to visit the main auto museums.
So far the plan is:
I fly to Stuttgart, I visit there the Porsche and Mercedes museums.
I take a train/bus to Munich, I visit the BMW museum then a train/bus to Ingolstadt for the Audi museum. (Also it might be the other way - first Ingolstadt then Munich)
From Ingolstadt(Munich) I get back to Stuttgart where I fly back home.
Questions:
1) How much time should I allow for each museum? I need to crash overnight somewhere and If I manage to go to Porsche and Mercedes and still have time to get to Munich in one day, then I'll make a hotel reservation in Munich. If not, then I have to make a reservation in Stuttgart and go to Munich the next morning. This is where the second question comes into play.
2) I saw in lip's pre-ringmeet trip thread some nice pictures from the Deutsches Museum, so - what any other places should I consider visiting in these cities so that I don't feel like a fool that I've been in that town and didn't visit that place?
3) Is goeuro.com a good source for train/bus tickets? Suggest any other if there are better ones..
4) I don't know any german, are german people willing to speak english?
Also I'm trying to do this thing on a budget, that's why I am trying to visit as many places as I can in the shortest possible time frame.
Any advice is appreciated
