Tour Highlights

Countries Visited: Germany
City Highlights: Berlin, Black Forest, Cologne, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Munich, Nuremberg, Oberammergau, Rothenburg

Tour Itinerary

For those who want to see the highlight cities of Germany, this vacation is a perfect fit. Start and finish your trip in Frankfurt and enjoy overnight stays in Cologne, the once-divided metropolis of Berlin, Nuremberg, Oberammergau, and the Black Forest. Highlights of your Germany trip are an included Rhine cruise, a first-class train ride on the fast Eurocity train from Cologne to Berlin, a guided tour to the Cologne cathedral, a visit to Leipzig and Bach’s Thomaskirche, and a walking tour in romantic Rothenburg. A special highlight of this vacation awaits you in Oberammergau, the Passion Play village in the Bavarian Alps. Surrounded by majestic mountains and picturesque meadows, Oberammergau is famous for its Passion Play performed by locals just once a decade to fulfill the town’s promise to God in exchange for protection from the Black Death. Seeing the Passion Play is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you don’t want to miss! This is a wonderful vacation to explore Germany’s beauty and highlights.
Day 1: Board your overnight transatlantic flight.

Day 2: Arrive in Frankfurt, Germany.
Time to rest or explore the bustling metropolis on the River Main. At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and traveling companions for a welcome dinner at your hotel. (D)

Day 3: Frankfurt–Remagen–Cologne.
A special treat at the very start of your journey through Germany is a RHINE CRUISE along the most scenic section of the Rhine River with castle-crested hills, terraced vineyards, pretty wine towns, and finally the Lorelei rock. Disembark and drive to the ruins of the bridge in Remagen, where American troops breached Hitler’s West Wall. Spend the afternoon in Cologne and visit the awesome gothic CATHEDRAL. Its twin 515-foot towers, five naves, splendid stained-glass windows, and the shrine of the Three Holy Kings are eloquent testimony to the quality of medieval engineering and craftsmanship. (B,D)

Day 4: Cologne–Berlin.
Ride the EUROCITY TRAIN to Berlin, capital of reunited Germany, where sightseeing with a Local Guide in the once-divided metropolis includes the elegant Ku’damm, the restored Reichstag, Charlottenburg Palace, a picture stop at monumental Brandenburg Gate, and the 210-foot Victory Column in the vast Tiergarten Park. Visit the KAISER WILHELM MEMORIAL CHURCH with its bomb-damaged tower, drive along Unter den Linden Boulevard, and pass the State Opera House and Checkpoint Charlie. (B,D)

Day 5: At Leisure in Berlin.
You may wish to join an optional excursion to Potsdam, and tonight, why not sample Berlin’s fine restaurants and nightlife? (B)

Day 6: Berlin–Leipzig–Nuremberg.
On your way south through what used to be the “other” Germany, visit Leipzig, an important center since the Middle Ages. Visit the THOMASKIRCHE, where J.S. Bach worked, and the Market Square with its fine renaissance buildings. Continue to Nuremberg, the town of children’s toys and gingerbread. It is also the birthplace of painter Albrecht Dürer and poet and meistersinger Hans Sachs. Admire the impressive medieval ramparts and walk through the pedestrian area of the charming Old Town. Visit ST. SEBALD CHURCH, painstakingly reconstructed as a monument to peace from the rubble of near-total wartime destruction. (B,D)

Day 7: Nuremberg–Rothenburg–Munich–Oberammergau.
Today, focus on Germany’s Romantic Road, which leads from the flat country towards the Alps. Enjoy a walking tour of medieval Rothenburg with its ramparts and towers, cobbled lanes, and 16th-century houses. Then, head south to the Danube Valley and Munich. Enjoy an orientation featuring the Olympic Park and its 1,000-foot-high Television Tower and MARIENPLATZ with its Old and New Town Halls. Then, continue to Oberammergau. (B,D)

Day 8: Oberammergau.
Afternoon and evening devoted to the PASSION PLAY. (B,L,D)

Day 9: Munich–Oberammergau–Lindau–Black Forest.
A scenic day starts out with a short stop in the Passion Play town of Obergammergau. Next, a leisurely drive along the panoramic German Alpine Road to the sunny northern shore of Lake Constance, Europe’s largest freshwater reservoir. Stop for a lunch break in charming Lindau, then, continue north and visit the baroque CHURCH at Birnau on the way to your hotel in the Black Forest. (B,D)

Day 10: Black Forest–Heidelberg–Frankfurt.
This morning, enjoy a WOODCARVING DEMONSTRATION before arriving in Heidelberg, Germany’s oldest university town of Student Prince fame. Time to stroll around and to have lunch in the Old Town, followed by the highlight of today: a visit to the red-walled CASTLE where the GREAT VAT, a 49,000-gallon 18th-century wine cask, attracts particular attention. Then, back to Frankfurt for a farewell dinner with your companions of a fascinating vacation. (B,D)

Day 11: Your homebound flight arrives the same day. (B)
