Things to do in Germany

Bikes, Hamburg
A country with rich tradition and a complicated past, Germany can be explored in many different ways. Our specialists have sought out a range of experiences for you in Germany that will show you everything from the dairy farm-dotted hills of the Black Forest to the mural-covered remnants of the Berlin Wall.

We can arrange for you to drive your own Cold War-era Trabant car around Berlin and see landmarks like Checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate. You could join a Jewish heritage tour that will let you learn about the lives of Jewish Berliners before, during and after the Nazi regime, or take a historical walking tour in Munich, to see the places pivotal to World War II.

We can also arrange for you to see the German countryside along the Romantic Road, glide past the towns and castles along the Rhine on a boat cruise, or visit Munich’s beerhalls and Oktoberfest museum.
