Germany, 8 Days · Tailor-made by car

East Germany Route, beyond the wall

Search for inspiration in the cities that gave birth to Bach, Nietzsche or Martin Luther, explore East Germany and enjoy the kaleidoscopic nature of Saxon Switzerland

Any tour that includes Berlin among its stops is already worth it, but if we also add destinations such as Dresden or the Saxon Switzerland National Park, then it's better to experience it than to read about it. That's why we'd like to invite you to drive through the very best of East Germany, including the cities that gave birth to and inspired the greatest geniuses and outstanding figures of German culture. Bach, Mendelssohn, Nietzsche and Martin Luther are just some of the examples, but not the only ones. You can visit their museum houses and look for inspiration in the streets where they themselves found it. In Meissen, you'll have the chance to enter one of Europe's most sumptuous palaces, owned by the first ever family to make porcelain in Europe when it was a luxury material imported from the Far East. Both its façade and its interior are fascinating. Another highlight of this tour is Saxon Switzerland. It's also a paradise for climbers and hikers, who can choose between thousands of routes and hundreds of trails. But no worries if this isn't your cup of tea, as a thermal spa is waiting that will repair all your ills. Incidentally, most of the cities proposed on this tour have entire neighbourhoods that were rebuilt after the bombings suffered throughout World War II. This is also the case of Berlin, where you'll enjoy a sightseeing tour of the capital to ensure you see all the most emblematic landmarks. Are you coming with us? All you need is a car and a map to discover places and drive through fantastic landscapes that will make your trip unforgettable.

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
