How we plan a Austria & Germany trip
We start with how much moving you want to do. Two bases in nine nights makes a relaxed holiday; four makes a logistics exercise. From there we build the route, name the hotels, and price the whole thing once — flights, rooms, transfers, entries and insurance in a single costing.
Then we take on the parts that go wrong quietly: the visa file and its timing, the bookings that sell out months ahead, the food you will want near your hotel, and a plan B for the days that depend on weather.
