It's all Germany all the time with this trip to three of the country's most beloved cities. Berlin has launched itself toward the top of
Europe's must-visit destinations, thanks in part to its wide array of artistic and musical offerings. From Berlin it's on to Nuremberg, a
quaint Bavarian town known for its medieval architecture and bustling squares. In Munich, stop by the world-famous Hofbrauhaus for a
German pint, or spend some time exploring the city's wealth of museums. No matter how or what you choose to explore, this three-city tour
will knock your socks right off your feet.

DAY 3:
After breakfast, your first adventure of the day will be the Potsdam and Sanssouci Tour.
You'll have some time for lunch when you return, but don't eat too much - you don't want to be stuffed before your food and art tour of
the Kreuzberg neighborhood!
POTSDAM AND SANSSOUCI TOUR
This guided tour will take you to the old garrison and residence town of Potsdam, famous for its splendid palaces and gardens. You'll
receive an extensive tour of the Sanssouci Palace, a favorite refuge of the great Prussian King Frederic II and considered the German
rival of the Palace of Versailles. Afterward, you'll take a stroll in Potsdam's magnificent park and explore the city's Dutch Quarter and
the Russian Colony of Alexandrovka.
Nuremberg - 3 nights

Pack your bags and head to the lobby to meet the transfer representative who will take you

Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes during the Nuremberg Trials.
DAY 5:
After breakfast, meet in the lobby of your hotel for your private half-day tour through the
city. In the afternoon, discover some of the city's more hidden treasures. Take a trip down into the Historicher Kunstbunker, a former

Spielzeugmuseum, with its collection of computer gates, wooden and tin toys, and a play area for children.

Peruse the stalls of fresh produce or head to the Frauenkirche, an ornate Gothic church at the eastern end of the square. Learn about the
history of the bahn in the German Railways Museum, featuring an interactive section for children. Make sure you take some time during the
day to sample some traditional Nuremberg dishes. Sausages, tender pork knuckle with dumplings and gravy, and lebkuchen (gingerbread) are

your own. In the evening, get ready for a delicious night tour of the city.
MUNICH BEER AND FOOD TOUR
On this Bavarian Beer Tour through Munich, our guides will give you lots of information and insights into the brewing industry in Germany and Bavaria. You want to know everything about beer? Then the Munich Beer Tour is just right for you. But the interesting information is certainly not the end of the story.
DAY 8:
Today will be a treat, as after breakfast you'll embark on a full-day tour of the
Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castles. When you return, grab some dinner - try a traditional pork chop with red-cabbage dumplings! - and
return to your hotel for a sound night's sleep.
ROYAL CASTLES NEUSCHWANSTEIN AND LINDERHOF
This excursion takes you inside two extraordinary castles, both testaments to the visions of Bavaria's "fairytale king," Ludwig II. After
a short shopping trip at Oberammergau, home of the Passion Play, you'll continue to Neuschwanstein Castle. The striking white structure
towers above the Bavarian countryside and was the inspiration behind Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Next up is Linderhof, the
smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig and the only one whose completion he was alive to witness. The palace's elaborate
interior features an ostrich-down carpet, ivory candelabras, and an ornate Hall of Mirrors.
DAY 9:
Spend this final day enjoying Munich at your leisure. For a special treat if visiting in mid-November through December, be sure to plan visiting the sparkling Holiday Markets that light up Munich and across Germany.
MUNICH CHRISTMAS MARKET TOUR
Munich has been hosting Christmas markets for 600 years, and every year the medieval centre of town is transformed into a winter wonderland. The streets become cluttered with charming stalls selling every variety of classic decoration and gift in an atmosphere happy with the scent of roasted nuts and hot spiced wine.
We make regular stops at the various stalls, and your guide tells you about the history of the markets, the meaning of the displays, and the Advent and Christmas rituals associated with them.
DAY 10:
Gather your belongings and head to the hotel lobby to meet the transfer representative who
will escort you to the airport. Hopefully you've got enough souvenir beer steins and edelweiss bells to last you until your return. Auf
wiedersehen!
