At the heart of Europe, Germany is a destination with so much to tempt visitors. From modern vibrant cities to half-timbered medieval towns, romantic palaces and spectacular countryside, discover dramatic mountains and dense forests straight from one of Grimm’s fairytales. Explore sprawling vineyards and river valleys, historic landmarks and unspoiled beaches on our Germany tours, the perfect way to discover more about the country’s natural beauty and its long history.
Wander among grand Gothic and Baroque architecture, and as you journey back over the centuries, hear the stories behind some of the world’s great figures, from Beethoven to Albert Einstein. Or watch the countryside slip slowly past as you cruise down the Rhine, one of Europe’s great rivers, gazing out on scenery which has inspired legends galore and cities which have stood for hundreds of years.
There are few better times to plan your Germany holidays than the weeks leading up to Christmas, when the country’s famous festive markets are in full swing, the air is scented with gluhwein, twinkling lights glimmer and you can browse to a soundtrack of classic Christmas carols. Then relax with some traditional German cuisine, eating schnitzel and bratwurst, while sipping a delicious glass of Riesling wine or one of the country’s incomparable beers.

What our experts love about Germany
Visiting the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall Memorial were quite poignant moments for me as the modern history is so memorable. It’s nice to link the cities with the beautiful scenery of the Harz Mountains - best explored by steam train and home to many German fairytales!
What are the best places to visit in Germany?
Mix city breaks and scenery on our Germany tours, with visits to Berlin, Cologne and Munich before exploring the country’s spectacular landscapes, from the mountains of Bavaria to the villages of the Black Forest and the beautiful river Rhine.

The Rhine
Curving its way through four countries, there are legends woven through the twists and turns of the river Rhine, while fairytale castles and half-timbered towns line its banks, alongside the spectacular city of Cologne. Awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status for the beauty and historic importance of the middle section, known as the Rhine Gorge, a cruise along the river takes you on a journey through Europe’s past, from the imposing Ehrenbreitstein Fortress at Koblenz to the 18th-century Würzburg Residenz and the Romanesque cathedral at Speyer. Or add a festive flavour on a Christmas cruise, stopping a fairy-lit markets.

Bavaria
There are 1,500 years of history to discover in Bavaria, from the capital Munich to its palaces and dramatic mountains. Stroll the medieval streets of Munich’s Old Town before discovering the region’s traditions and culture – more than beer, lederhosen and oompah bands, though you can enjoy all three. Or step into a fairytale as you visit Bavaria’s gilded rococo palaces, including the royal residences of Nymphenburg and Linderhof, as you hear stories of reclusive King Ludwig II, along with extravagant Amalienburg. Then follow winding roads through the Bavarian Alps, stopping for views of clear blue mountain lakes and verdant forests.

Cologne
The grand Gothic cathedral still dominates Cologne, one of Germany’s biggest modern cities but whose historic heart survives today. Once you’ve marvelled at the medieval masterpiece, started in the 13th century but only finished 600 years later, wander along narrow cobbled streets or stroll by the banks of the Rhine. There’s more than history too, from the revitalised harbour quarter to Cologne’s eye-catching street art and the chance to learn about the original eau de cologne at the Fragrance Museum. Don’t forget to save some time to relax with a glass of Kölsch, the city’s most popular beer, as well.

Koblenz
One of Germany’s oldest towns, historic Koblenz sits at the point where the Moselle and Rhine rivers meet. Home to a string of UNESCO World Heritage sites, set out on foot to explore; as you wander through the Old Town look out for the Schängel Fountain at the town hall, along with the Memorial of Emperor Wilhelm at the Deutsches Eck and the Electoral Palace. Stroll by the riverside or take a cable car over the Rhine for some fantastic views, before a visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, the second largest preserved fortress in Europe, which towers above the town.
