Travel to Germany’s Historic CitiesIn the Historic Highlights of Germany, you’ll travel in the footsteps of emperors and kings, bishops and scholars, and generals and presidents who changed the face of Germany, Europe and the world. You’ll travel to cities where seamen and merchants built the power of the Hanseatic League. Marvel at our architecture. Freiburg’s cathedral with its 381-foot tower ranks among the masterworks of Gothic architecture. Würzburg’s baroque Residenz took 24 years to build. In Augsburg, rococo grew so prevalent that it became known as “the Augsburg style.” Walk amid gothic-renaissance Heidelberg Castle, Würzburg’s massive baroque Residenz and Potsdam’s Sanssouci Palace, the 18th-century retreat of Frederick the Great. Or travel to Münster, the land of 100 moated castles. Trace the roots of Martin Luther and the Protestant faith—and spend the night in Luther’s former monastery in Erfurt. Walk through Roman ruins, medieval town centers, and thriving marketplaces. Taste history, too. Enjoy wine and seaside specialties in restaurants founded by captains nearly 500 years ago—and with reserved tables where today’s skippers carry on the tradition. Our vintners and brew masters will take pride in your pleasure. One of our monasteries has been brewing since the 11th century, and we can even serve you wine from your birth year. Travel to our cities, where history lives! |
