DAY 2

FRANKFURT AREA–RHINE CRUISE–COLOGNE–RHINELAND (B)

Today’s Distance: 193 mi/ 310 km

DAY 3

RHINELAND–HAMELIN–HAMBURG (B)

Journey into Niedersachsen to visit Hamelin. The medieval town center, with its historical buildings and magically fancy gables, still echoes the “Pied Piper” legend. Continue to Hamburg.

Today’s Distance: 304 mi/ 490 km

DAY 4

HAMBURG–LÜBECK–BERLIN (B)

Start the day with an orientation drive in Hamburg, one of Germany’s greatest maritime cities. Later, depart for Lübeck, formerly a free Hanseatic city and independent state. Lübeck, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered the cultural capital of northern Germany. Thomas Mann, Günther Grass, and Willy Brandt—all Nobel laureates—were among the famous residents of this city. Later, arrive in Berlin and enjoy your first evening in the capital of Germany.

Today’s Distance: 249 mi/ 400 km

DAY 5

BERLIN (B)

No longer divided but every bit as fascinating, Berlin was once the city of contrasts with the wall separating two different worlds. Now, the city has developed into a harmonious blend of new and old, preserving its historical buildings and impressive boulevards as well as creating brand new buildings in contemporary architectural styles. See all of this on the included city sightseeing with a Local Guide.

DAY 6

BERLIN–DRESDEN–LEIPZIG (B/D)

Travel southwest to Dresden, the old capital of Saxony and at one time called the “Florence on the Elbe.” On the included guided sightseeing tour, see the Zwinger Carillon Pavilion where the 40 bells of the Glockenspiel sound four times per hour, and much more. Then it’s on to Leipzig, where composers Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn lived the last years of their lives. It was Mendelssohn who founded the Leipziger Conservatory in 1843.

Today’s Distance: 227 mi/ 365 km

DAY 7

LEIPZIG–WEIMAR–COBURG–NUREMBERG (B)

Leave Leipzig to visit Weimar, home to many intellectuals of the past but mainly known for the name given to the historical period of the “Weimar Republic.” This city is also famed as the home to the Bauhaus architectural movement in the 1920s. Next stop is Coburg. Visit the mighty Veste Coburg Castle, built in 1225. Continue to Nuremberg and stroll its town center, dominated by the imperial castle.

Today’s Distance: 270 mi/ 435 km

DAY 8

NUREMBERG–ROTHENBURG–MUNICH (B)

As you leave Nuremberg, stop for a photo at the famous Zeppelinfield. On the way to Munich, visit the quaint Medieval village of Rothenburg on the Romantic Road. Marvel at its towered gates and battlements, squares of half-timbered houses and decorated fountains; you’ll feel like stepping back in time.

Today’s Distance: 221 mi/ 355 km

DAY 9

MUNICH (B)

With a Local Guide, take advantage of the included sightseeing tour of the city known as Germany’s “Secret Capital.” Time to admire the beautiful main square, Marienplatz, do some shopping, visit one of the important museums, and sample Munich’s famous beer!
