3 Nights in Munich
With its traditional beer halls, designer shops, trendy restaurants and international business, Munich is a mix of old and new, German and cosmopolitan. Largely rebuilt after World War II, the city still retains its old world charm, even in the midst of expansion and modernization. You’ve probably heard of the city’s world famous Oktobertfest, a once-in-a-lifetime party dedicated to that incredible Bavarian beer along with some of the local delicacies, including tasty schnitzel. But there’s much more to Munich than drinking, and on your holiday you’ll have the chance to discover the best this charming city has to offer. Don’t miss out on the beer halls and the breweries, but be sure to get off the beaten path to discover a Munich of your own. Much of the city’s past centers around World War II, and there are several ways you can explore this chapter of Munich’s history, including a day trip to the Dachau concentration camp and a special tour focusing on Hitler and the local activities of the Third Reich. Munich is also a center of industry and there is nowhere better to experience this than BMW World. Moving slightly farther afield, Neuschwanstein Castle makes the perfect day trip, perched high in the hills over a verdant valley. Munich’s variety means there’s more than enough to satisfy even the most diverse groups of travelers. Let your curiosity guide you as you explore this unique German city.

Day 1
Day 1 - Arrival in Munich
When you arrive in Munich, a driver will be waiting to meet you and will then bring you to your centrally located accommodation.
First Night, First Beers
When in Munich, drink as the locals do. Munich has certainly earned its title as “Beer Capital of the World,” so what could be a better activity for your first night than going to one of its famed beer halls, meeting locals, and hearing their stories? If you’re the teetotalling type or raucous beer halls aren’t your thing, you can take a nice walk down Neuhauser Strasse, followed by the Kaufingerstrasse, leading to the city’s most famous square, the Marienplatz, with its magnificent city hall, the Neues Rathaus.

Bike through the English Garden
The English Garden is a must for every visitor. This vast green space in the middle of bustling city is a great way to stay active without leaving the city center. As one of Europe's largest urban parks, we recommend exploring it by bike. Some of the highlights in the park are Japanese teahouse and garden (a gift from Japan for the Olympics) and an 18th-century "Chinese Tower." This pagoda like structure is very pleasant place to have a break and get a drink, as it's right next to the city's largest beer garden. Further north, you can find the park's main lake, and a meadow popular with sunbathers, while heading south will take you to the Eisbach ("Ice Stream,") home to a standing wave popular with surfers.

Munich Bike Group Tour
Hop aboard a bike and enjoy a fun and active tour of Munich, one of the most fascinating cities in Germany. You'll see all of the most famous sights in the center of the city and also explore some of the lesser-known but not less notable neighborhoods.

Led by an expert guide, the tour will be a highlight during your stay in Munich.

On the way back to Munich, you'll stop at a dairy farm, learning how cheese is made (then naturally tasting it too). Adrenaline, nature, and culinary delights, what more could you want? This tour is especially kid-friendly.

2 Nights in Regensburg
Mention Regensburg to any student of German or Czech history, and watch their ears perk up. This ancient city is perched above the foundations of Castra Regina, a Roman camp. The capital of Bavaria for 700 years, Regensburg hosted the Holy Roman Empire's parliament for centuries, making it a co-capital alongside Vienna (the town itself served as five separate independent states within the Holy Roman Empire, which had hundreds of members). The seemingly endless UNESCO-listed Old Town (the largest north of the Alps) is a reminder of the city's golden age, when the Stone Bridge across the Danube linked Venice to Northern Europe. This bridge made Regensburg the cultural center of southern Germany, and made its weavers and goldsmiths wealthy. Give yourself plenty of time to stroll Regensburg's streets. Visit the Gothic capital, and enjoy the city's famous sausages at the world's oldest continually open public restaurant, which is nearing its 900th birthday.

Sail to Valhalla
A Neoclassical hall of fame based on Athens' Parthenon, Walhalla ("Valhalla") was built in the 19th century to commemorate great Germans, albeit with a definition loose enough to include Copernicus, Erasmus, Paracelsus, Catherine the Great, and others from places no longer considered German. Located along the Danube, the most scenic way to arrive is with an hourlong boat ride. From April to October, ferries run three times a day from near the Stone Bridge.

1 Night in Rothenburg
Sitting on the banks of the Tauber river, Rothenburg is a German medieval go-to, picturesque and vivid, a true throwback to some other times. This walled town used to be one of the biggest places in Germany during Middle Ages, and has kept its charm to this day. Although small in size and population, Rothenburg is home to many festivals and events, so there is a good chance you'll stumble upon one or two while there. Photos do not really do justice to the town; its beauty and atmosphere inspired many German artists, writers and painters and it is known as the most romantic place in Germany.

Get the Best First Impression
One of the most popular activities in Rothenburg is to spend half an hour or so walking atop the old town’s preserved walls between its gates (or “Tors”). This fascinating and scenic walk is best started from the Spitaltor, a massive gatehouse built in the 1500s, then heading toward the equally stunning Rödertor, stopping along the way to enjoy the views. The next leg leads to the Klingentor and the 15th-century St. Wolfgang's Church. In all there are 42 gatehouses and towers, so be sure to allow enough time to see as many as possible along your walking tour. For the town’s best view, visit the park behind the Burg Tower.

2 Nights in Frankfurt


2 Nights in Frankfurt
The birthplace of German democracy, Frankfurt is now more famous for its bankers, and the skyscrapers they have funded. A hub from the very beginning (the name comes from a river ford used by the Franks who went on to conquer France), Frankfurt's airport offers flights to more destinations than any other, and you can seemingly take trains anywhere from here, too. This is one of Germany's most diverse cities, even when its famous trade shows aren't in town, yet next to the skyscrapers you'll find the restored old town that served as the brief capital of a democratic Germany during the failed 1848 revolutions, and remains a reminder of Frankfurt's time as one of the Holy Roman Empire's prime cities.

Enjoy Local Brews
A pub crawl is ideal for experiencing Frankfurt’s vibrant nightlife. Germany's may be famous for beers, but don't miss out of Apfelwein, the sour hard cider Frankfurt and its surroundings are known for (you can drink it "pure," but many order it mixed with sparkling water or carbonated lemonade to reduce the sourness). To head from bar to bar, visit Schweizer Strasse in Old Sachsenhausen. This tree-line commercial street houses plenty of pubs and taverns that brew their own Apfelwein, but naturally offer plenty of local beers and wines as well.

Day 10 - Your First Full Day in Frankfurt
