Any recommendations on a specific route in light of these cities?
I would do Berlin to Prague to Vienna to Munich personally. Where are you flying out of? That would make a big difference.
I just drove Frankfurt to Vienna to Budapest to Swiss alps to Munich in March/April. Nice scenic drive.

No need for an international license for shirt term (less than 60 days I believe). Note that in Austria you will need a special decal on your window for certain roads ... Essentially a toll. This can be picked up at stations at the highway entrance. Otherwise, they'll get you for 110 euros.

Also, if you are in Vienna, consider Bratislava just to add another country to your cap (90 minute drive). Or Budapest. Budapest is a great eastern European town. Good food, nice people, different culture from the other places on your list. It is only 2 hrs or so from Vienna.

He´s right, you need an international license.

These days, there is no test per se, simply, it´s a six month pass (maybe 90 days, don´t remember). You present your license and the pertinent paperwork, they check your history out, and accept or decline your petition.

I got one before coming here (as I didn´t know what I´d be doing here, other than driving).
