Germany: Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Munich by train, tailor-made, fully flexible travel

Discover the picturesque southeast of Germany on board a train with stops in Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Munich

Visit three of Germany's main cities, Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Munich, on board a modern and comfortable train as you tour the southeast of the country by rail. Frankfurt has been a major urban centre ever since the Middle Ages and is one of Germany's most famous cities. Today it's an ultra-modern and very beautiful city with one of Europe's most attractive urban profiles, nicknamed the Frankfurter Skyline because it boasts some of the tallest buildings on the continent. Its historical landmarks are centred around the reconstructed old town on the Römerberg and include the Römer (City Hall) and the Kaiserdom Sankt Bartholomäus (Cathedral). All are must-sees. Another of the city's strong points is its wealth of museums, some of which are the best of their kind in Europe. The Jewish Museum of Frankfurt, the Städel Museum and the Kinder Museum are just three of the many and ever-so-varied museums found in Frankfurt. And then it's time for the quintessential 'all aboard' to cover the distance between Frankfurt and Nuremberg. Sit back and admire the stunning scenery of Germany as it passes by the window until you arrive in Nuremberg, a city that will forever be linked to the trials against the Nazis held after the Second World War. But it's much more than just this: it's home to an imperial castle and an old quarter surrounded by five kilometres of walls strewn with turrets; it's the birthplace of the leading German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer; it's the venue of medieval singing contests; it's the site of the Sebalduskirche and Lorenzkirche churches; and it's the city of museums such as the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and the Friedensmuseum (Peace Museum). An experience that's well worth enjoying at your leisure. The final stop on this fabulous railway journey is a city with oodles of history under its belt but which masterfully fuses tradition with modernity. The pivotal epicentre of Munich is none other than the famous Marienplatz, which features three of the must-sees on any visit here: the Neues Rathaus, the Altes Rathaus and, of course, the Column of St. Mary. Other of the many attractions in Munich are the Cathedral, the Theatine Church and St. Michael's Church (in terms of religious art); its array of spectacular gardens, such as the Englischer Garten; the Deutsches Museum; all of its art galleries; and the Glyptothek Museum, to name just a few. And as one of the brewing capitals of the world, you can savour a huge selection of beers here, which obviously taste even better when accompanied by a typical Weisswurst, a Bavarian-style white sausage served with lashings of mustard. Car enthusiasts and petrolheads will love BMW Welt, which provides a fascinating insight into the history of the prestigious car manufacturer. Experience the very best of southeast Germany by visiting Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Munich.
