New trip to Central Europe coming up

I have a new overseas trip coming up in July, 2014 between Semesters to Central Europe. The flights are booked; Sydney to Dubai for a one night stop over with Qantas on the A380, and then direct to Prague in the Czech Republic.

The plan is to visit Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Southern Germany, however followers of my last trip will know that my actual trip and the planned trip didn't look anything like each other. Spain was great, and we spent longer there and visited amazing places like Granada and Cordoba, which we had not planned on doing.

The absolute must do things on this trip will be Prague of course, Budapest in Hungary, and probably Vienna in Austria. I would like to go to Salzburg in Austria the setting for Sound of Music. I want to see the fairytale German castles in Bavaria. Bratislavia in Slovakia next door to Prague is meant to be good.

The reason why the trip is flexible is because we normally use the internet to book apartments through Airbnb and either rail or plane transport at the last minute to allow more flexibility. Some places you want to stay longer, and using the internet and not using a travel agent gives you more freedom.
