Germany
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Germany wears its riches well: elegant big-city charm, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer are all there for the savoring.
Deep in the heart of Europe, Germany has had a seminal impact on Continental history. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to Otto von Bismarck's German Reich, Nazism and the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has molded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse.
Things to do & see in Germany
Day tour to Neuschwanstein & Linderhof Castles
Visit Linderhof, the smallest of King Ludwig's castles. Then continue on to Neuschwanstein, a magnificent neo-Romanesque style castle and quite possibly the most well-known castle in the world. This is one of Viator's top-rated tours in Germany.
Tour the Romantic Road
All visitors to Germany should experience the Romantic Road. This tour from Munich covers Harburg, one of the best-preserved castles in Germany, and Rothenburg, the most perfectly preserved medieval town in Europe.
Dinner & Concert at Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin
Charlottenburg Palace is a sumptuous building in the heart of Berlin. This unique tour includes candlelight dinner at the palace followed by a concert by the Berlin Residence Orchestra. Bravo.
Suggested Itineraries in Germany
Germans love to party, and kick up their heels at everything from pagan harvest romps to black tie opera galas. The Winter Carnival (Fasching) season occurs throughout Germany, with big cities such as Cologne (Köln), Munich and Mainz erupting into commotion just before Ash Wednesday.
Autumn is a great time for harvest-inspired mayhem, especially in the Rhineland, where the Rhine in Flames frolics feature barges laden with fireworks. Christmas fairs are embraced wholeheartedly by German families; they occur in Munich, Nuremberg, Lübeck, Berlin, Münster and Heidelberg, amongst other places.
