What people love about In-depth Cultural Tours in Germany
- German Christmas Markets
Enjoyed the many Christmas markets. By the end if the week I was exhausted with the markets, all were about the same, we went to 13 markets. Loved the extra option trips.
- Best of Germany
Trip was great. Loved all the places where we went. Coach was kept clean. Hosts and driver were very nice and thorough to provide cultural experience. Over all it was great.
- Christmas Markets of Germany (Classic)
The company should have checked Christmas Market opening dates. The most famous Nuremberg Christmas Market was opening the day of our departure so we didn't get to experience it. But overall a good time
What our customers ask about In-depth Cultural Tours & Trips in Germany
What are the must-see cultural highlights during an In-depth Cultural tour of Germany?
Germany's cultural tours take you through essential landmarks that define the nation's history. In Berlin the Brandenburg Gate and Holocaust Memorial stand as key monuments. Dresden showcases the Zwinger Palace and Frauenkirke while Munich's Marienplatz draws visitors to its famous Glockenspiel. The medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber lets visitors walk through preserved city walls and past authentic half-timbered houses.

A TourRadar traveler noted "The itinerary was perfect for experiencing Germany's cultural treasures - from grand palaces to charming medieval towns."
