Trip Summary
2 nights in Frankfurt

Frankfurt is the financial capital of Germany. A closer look reveals there is much more to offer; from arts, outdoors, and shopping, to historic buildings and high-rises. It has long been an important center for cultural and tourism activities. Its huge trade fair complex, Messe Frankfurt, hosts important events such as the Frankfurt Book Fair (the world's most important publishing event). The city is known for its exceptional number of fine museums covering art, science, and history. The traditional cider pubs in Sachsenhausen and the 'Fressgass' (eating street) should not be missed.

Visit the Romerberg, Museum District (Museumsufer), The Palm Garden (Palmengarten), St. Bartholomew's Cathedral, The Hauptwache, Goethe House and Museum, The Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art, Zoo Frankfurt, Stadel Museum, and so much more!



2 nights in Mainz

Situated on the Rhine River, Mainz was founded by the Romans 38 BC. Its 2,000 year heritage is revealed by both Roman relics and the impressive baroque palaces and churches built by talented architects and sculptors in the 17th century. Mainz is known for its old town, with half-timbered houses and medieval market squares. In the center, the Marktbrunnen is a Renaissance fountain with red columns. Nearby, a distinctive octagonal tower tops the Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, built from deep red sandstone. The Gutenberg Museum honors the inventor of the printing press with exhibits, including two of his original bibles.

Explore Biebrich Palace, Kurfürstliches Schloss, Kunsthalle Mainz, Schloss Park, Zollhafen Mainz, and so much more!



1 nights in Koblenz

Koblenz has a rich history dating back over 2000 years. The city is surrounded by four low mountain ranges and forms a triangle with the Mosel and Rhine rivers. Directly where the Rhine River meets the Mosel River is one of its major landmarks, the so-called German Corner (Deutsches Eck). On top of the hill on the Rhine shore the old fortress, Ehrenbreitstein, overlooks Koblenz and the German Corner. Strolling around the Old Town feels like walking in an open air museum. The many statues and monuments on the squares around town are evidence of the long history that the city is known for.

Visit the Church of Our Lady, German Corner (Deutsches Eck), Fortress (Festung) Ehrenbreitstein, Deutschherrenhaus, Koblenz Palace, Deutscher Kaiser, Schängelbrunnen, Görresplatz, Florinsmarkt, Jesuitenplatz, and so much more!



2 nights in Bonn

The former capital of West Germany, Bonn is situated in the largest German metropolitan area, close to Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dortmund and others. The city is famous for being the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven and the location of many United Nations institutions. A charming small city of some 310,000 on the banks of the Rhine River, it has much to offer in the way of historical sites and attractions.

Visit and discover the Bonn Minster, Beethoven-Haus, Bonn Botanic Gardens and Poppelsdorf Palace, Old Town Hall and Market Square, Museum Mile, The Art and Exhibition Hall, Bonn Museum of Modern Art, Rhine River Promenade, take a river boat cruise, and so much more.



1 nights in Cologne

The world feels at home in Cologne, where people meet to enjoy a Kölsch. (Kölsch is a language, a philosophy of life and also the popular local beer.) The largest city in the Rhineland, Cologne is rich in antiquity. There is much to see from every period of the city's two millennia history, from the old Roman towers to the modern opera house. Cologne is also a bustling cosmopolitan city that is quickly becoming the fine art capital of Germany, in addition to hosting several major art and music festivals.

Visit Cologne Cathedral, Ludwig Museum, Romano-Germanic Museum, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne's Old Town, Groß St. Martin, St. Maria im Kapitol, KölnTriangle, National Socialism Documentation Center, and so much more!



2 nights in Dusseldorf

Badly destroyed during the war, Düsseldorf was carefully reconstructed, and became the richest economic center in Germany. A relaxing walk along the Rhine River or a panoramic view from the Rhine Tower will allow you to admire this 'compact' city, where the modern downtown is nearby the Altstadt (Old Town) and the skyscrapers, banks and offices contrast with the old castles and churches. The open-air pedestrian mall in the Old Town is notable for 'the longest bar in the world' with over 250 pubs and taverns.

Explore the Rhine River, the 'Altbier' (Beer), Köningsallee Shopping Street, Museum Kunstpalast, Rheinturm (Rhine Tower), Kaiserswerth District, tour the Altstadt (Old Town), explore Media Harbor, visit the many museums, and so much more!

Package Map Picture
Germany

<b>Germany</b>'s landscape is straight from the Fairy tales: castles, deep dark forests and mythical rivers. The German landscapes are extraordinarily diverse, with graceful big-city appeal, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture, and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has molded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse.
