There are so many treasures waiting to be discovered in Germany, from quaint medieval villages to majestic mountains and fantastic forests.

Enjoy a coach tour through the breathtaking scenery of the Black Forest, dotted with historic towns and traditional farmhouses, and celebrated for cake and cuckoo clocks. Or explore the Ayr Valley and the friendly town of Ahrweiler, with its beautiful half-timbered buildings and Roman Villa. Medieval towns, vineyards and castles sprinkle the landscape of the Moselle and the Rhineland, and you must make sure you join a wine tasting in one of the many local cellars of Cochem or Rudesheim.

If you like cities, take up our excursion to historic Cologne. See the Gothic cathedral with its beautiful stained-glass windows, and climb all 503 steps to the top for a spectacular panoramic view of the old town, go shopping for clothes, shoes and perfume along the Schildergasse or the Hogestrasse, or visit the famous Eau de Cologne perfume factory.

From fact to fiction, this is truly the land of fairytales. See the glass carriages of Ludwig II in the Nymphenburg palace where he was born, or the idyllic Castle of Neuschwanstein, the inspiration for Walt Disney's Cinderella, and the original Sleeping Beauty's castle complete with rose garden.  

From romantic Saarland and its historic cities of Saarlouis and Saarburg, with its little half-timbered bridges, through the historical highlights and maritime past of Germany and the cities of the Hanseatic League, to the white sandy beaches of the Baltic coastline, Germany will not disappoint.
