Sandwiching one country between countries on a Schengen visa?

I got my Schengen visa from the German Embassy. I don't enter the Schengen area in Germany, but that's where my longest stay is (4 days) which is why I applied through Germany.

However, I plan to sandwich Prague (2 days) between Munich (2 days) and Berlin (2 days). This is a slight change from my itinerary which I had provided during my visa application. Is that allowed or would the border officials have a problem with that?

Best Answer

You are allowed to make minor changes to your itinerary after you get the visa.
You are not allowed to misrepresent your itinerary to get your visa, and you should avoid giving the impression that you lied.

Since both the old and the new itinerary would have Germany as the main destination, it sounds unlikely that there would be the suspicion that you lied to get the visa.
