Short Description
Birthplace of Beethoven, Einstein and Nietzsche, Germany offers far more to its visitors than its reputation for efficiency, bratwurst and beer. Our specialists would argue that it’s one of the most overlooked countries in Europe, its cosmopolitan cities are packed with historical charm as well as cutting-edge architecture and contemporary quirks. They’ll help you uncover the highlights of Berlin, including Checkpoint Charlie, the remnants of its infamous wall and trendy open-air markets.
Itinerary
Day 1 Berlin
Berlin
When you land in Berlin, a private driver will meet you as you leave the baggage claim area and transfer you to your hotel in the city. You’ll have the afternoon to explore the surrounding area on your own once you settle in after the flight.
Day 2 Berlin

Understanding the architecture of Berlin is a great way to understand the city’s history. Today, enjoy a half-day tour with a private guide walking you through the different districts while you learn about the styles of each era. Finish at the Panoramapunkt for a 360-degree view of the city. Spend the afternoon at leisure — we’ll offer plenty of suggestions for you.
Day 3 Berlin
Berlin
Today’s full-day tour will take you outside the city, with a private driver and guide, to Potsdam and the Sanssouci Palace, for a tour of Frederick the Great’s retreat.

Board Germany’s expansive train system for the two-hour trip to Dresden, where your local guide will meet you for a tour.

Enjoy lunch at your leisure before returning to Berlin by train.
Day 5 Munich

Enjoy a leisurely morning before a private transfer to Berlin’s airport for the 90-minute flight to Bavaria’s capital city, Munich. You’ll be picked up and transferred to your hotel, after which you can check out some of the nearby museums or sites based on our recommendations.
Day 6 Munich

With your driver-guide, embark on a full-day tour to Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace.

Munich has a seemingly endless number of sites and attractions to visit. Today, explore on your own — we’ll give you plenty of suggestions specific to your interests, so you can make the most of your time. You might visit the Bavarian National Museum, BMW’s headquarters or wander the Maximilianstrasse, the city’s most exclusive boulevard, lined with luxury shops and haute-couture unique to Munich.
Day 8 Munich
Munich
Enjoy a private, full-day tour of the storybook Bavarian villages along the Romantic Road. With your driver-guide, make stops at the 11th-century Harburg Castle, the walled town of Nördlingen and the brightly painted village of Dinkelsbühl, which was used as the set for The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. At the end of your day, you’ll be returned to your hotel in Munich.
