GERMANY

Germany’s spectacular scenery, from dramatic Alps to windmill-dotted flatlands, is rivals only by its rich musical heritage. Your custom tour might begin in Berlin, where travelers can hear a veritable feast of music at one of the city’s two major spring music festivals—the Berlin Festival Days and Baden-Baden Easter Festival—all while exploring a dynamic political and artistic capital.

Custom itineraries might take your travelers farther afield. The Bavarian town of Baden-Baden, located in the foothills of the Black Forest, offers a glimpse of Europe’s great watering hole for the rich in the 19th century and remains elegant and picturesque today. Explore beautiful Dresden, with its celebrated art museums and classic architecture of its reconstructed old town risen from the ashes of the Allied bombing of 1945, and Leipzig, the city that fostered Bach, Mendelssohn, Goethe and Nietzsche.

Along the way, travelers will enjoy the rich commentary of expert guides, relish fine dining at some of the city’s finest restaurants and tastings of exceptional wines. Grand Tour accommodations are always in four or five-star luxury hotels in the heart of city centers, for a cultural experience you won’t want to miss.
