Germany Holidays

Berlin, Germany’s capital, is famed for its vibrant art scene, buzzing nightlife, and rich history. WWII enthusiasts can explore iconic sites like the Brandenburg Gate, symbolising East/West division, and Checkpoint Charlie, a key Allied border crossing. On our guided holidays, we’ll visit these landmarks with an expert guide to learn their fascinating history. There’s also plenty of free time to explore at your own pace, whether visiting the outdoor East Side Gallery or enjoying coffee and cake at a local café, soaking up Berlin’s unique charm.

Munich is Germany’s 3rd largest city and the capital of the Bavarian region. Once its own independent Kingdom, Bavaria has a unique culture that can be felt distinctly when visiting Munich. On our trips to Munich, we’ll visit the most iconic sites in the city including the King's Square, the Maximilianeum, the National Opera House, the Royal Palace, Marienplatz Square and the medieval city gates. We’ll also stop at the traditional Viktualienmarkt, an open air food market with colourful outdoor stalls that takes place daily in the square in the centre of Munich.

Spanning the River Rhine and boasting a medieval centre with beautiful examples of High Gothic Architecture, Cologne feels like it could be straight out of a fairy tale. The city was founded nearly 2,000 years ago by Germanic tribes and today is home to beautiful landmarks like the Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On our trips to Cologne we’ll explore the Cathedral along with the bustling Roncalliplatz, the historic Alter Markt Square, and Cologne City Hall, all with the help of a local, expert guide.

Named for the density of its evergreen trees, the Black Forest is more beautifully picturesque than its name suggest. On our trips to Germany, we’ll take a scenic drive along the Black Forest Ridgeway, offering spectacular views of the Black Forest and its unparalleled richness of natural scenery. We’ll also stop in the “Jewel of the Black Forest”, Lake Mummelsee, which is one of the forest’s few cirque lakes remaining from the ice age. Here, we’ll also have some free time to explore or enjoy a piece of the region’s famous Black Forest cake.
