Berlin

Day 1 - 3

No tour of Germany would be complete without a visit to its vibrant capital which, despite its turbulent history, finds itself at the cutting-edge of European art, architecture, culture, entertainment and nightlife. There is an array of fascinating sites to interest history buffs including the previous site of the Berlin wall, Museum Island which contains the magnificent Berlin Cathedral, the formidable Brandenburg Gate and the eerily haunting Holocaust Museum. However, even non-historians will find plenty to do in the hip, funky neighborhoods emerging in the former Eastern part of the city where the streets are strewn with trendy eateries, quirky boutiques, innovative art galleries and thriving nightclubs. Energetic travellers can enjoy a cycle along the Spree riverfront or a stroll through one the city’s wonderful parks. No matter your preference, there is always plenty to see and do in this fascinating, dynamic, modern city.

Unscathed by WWII

Unscathed by WWII

During World War II, Nuremberg’s historic old town was devastated, with over 90 percent of its medieval architecture reduced to rubble. Yet, beneath the castle rock, a hidden bunker safeguarded some of the city's most treasured artworks—including the imperial regalia and masterpieces by Dürer and Veit Stoß. This tour through the WWII Art Bunker offers a compelling look at how these cultural treasures were protected during the bombing raids. Visitors will also learn about the destruction caused by the air raids and the remarkable efforts to rebuild the city from the ruins. The tour traces Nuremberg’s journey from a landscape of devastation back to a city that has reclaimed much of its medieval charm.

Information:

Most of the underground facilities maintain temperatures of 8–10°C year-round. Please wear appropriate clothing or jackets, as well as sturdy footwear.

Touching exhibits or installations is prohibited.

Humidity levels can exceed 90%. These conditions may place strain on the heart and circulatory system.

Munich

Day 6 - 9

Munich, the lively capital of Bavaria and the third-largest city in Germany, lies on the banks of the River Isar. A modern hub complete with state-of-the-art skyscrapers and an exciting nightlife scene, the city revels simultaneously in its traditional customs and its sense of innovation. Some of the phenomenal historical attractions include spectacular Schloss Nymphenburg and the grand Residenz Museum, along with countless others. Nicknamed ‘city of art and beer’, Munich is strewn with impressive and diverse galleries (top choices include the Kunstareal Art Quarter and other-worldly Pinakothek der Moderne) and offers sublime beer-tasting opportunities in a variety of wonderful beer houses and gardens. Locals claim this is the culinary capital of the country - make sure to visit the Viktualienmarkt and dedicate some time to the metropolis’ restaurants. Gorgeous parks, jaw-dropping sports venues, and world-famous festivals (including legendary Octoberfest) complete the package.
