Day 3 – Germany’s Romantic Road

We set off on a tour of the Romantic Road, one of the most well-travelled tourist routes in Germany. We combine picture-book scenery and sweeping vistas with visits to the medieval walled towns of Rothenburg and Dinkelsbühl, which feature beautiful half-timbered buildings, cobbled streets and alleyways.

Day 4 – Day at leisure

Day 5 – Munich

We visit Munich, the capital of Bavaria and one of Germany’s most attractive cities. Lying near the foot of the German Alps, the city is famous for its stunning architectural wonders, including the Frauenkirche, Munich’s largest church with its two dome-topped Gothic towers and the City Hall in the Marienplatz, a lively square in the heart of the city.

Day 6 – Optional excursion to Nuremberg including entrance to the Nazi Rally Grounds (£24pp)

Join an optional excursion to charming Nuremberg, famous for its medieval walls, Gothic churches and ancient castle that give the city its distinctive skyline. Despite having been severely damaged in World War Two, many of Nuremberg’s medieval buildings have been painstakingly restored to their former glory. Our visit includes entrance to the former Nazi Rally Grounds, a vast area covering almost 11 square kilometres, scattered with the ruins of monumental structures, where Nazi party rallies were held between 1933 and 1938.

Day 7 – Lindau in Lake Constance

Our destination today is the town of Lindau, uniquely located on an island on the eastern side of Lake Constance and set against a stunning backdrop of mountains. Explore the historic structures, lively squares and picturesque alleyways of the Old Town, stroll along the lakeside promenade or head to the bustling harbour where the entrance is flanked by a Bavarian lion and lighthouse.

Day 8

Travel to our overnight hotel in France, stopping en-route in the ancient university city of Heidelberg. A light evening meal is included tonight.
