The German capital of finance is well known for its famous sausage, the Frankfurter, and for the traditional beverage, apple cider.
Get up on Eiserner Steg, the 19th-century iron footbridge over the river Main, and view the high-rise skyline and the museum embankment of Frankfurt.

Paulskirche was where Germany’s first national assembly convened in 1848.

Group tour Cologne
Cologne is one of the oldest cities in Germany, founded by the Romans in AD 50, when it was called "Colonia Claudia Ara Aggrippinensium".
Rome's imperial governor lived here and the city was quickly considered one of the empire's most important trade and manufacturing centres north of the Alps.
Thereafter it was occupied by the Franks and was made an archbishopric (the office of an archbishop) by Charlemagne.
It survived World War II and it is today considered a major cultural centre with museums ranking among the best in the world.
Admire the facade of the cathedral of Cologne, a gothic masterpiece unique in the world.
Learn about history and culture of Cologne!
Cologne Cathedral has always been a place that attracts people.
Every year, about 6 million people visit the cathedral as pilgrims, tourists or worshippers.
Get to know Cologne Cathedral in its many facets, as a living place of faith, as a witness to the centuries, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.
Learn exciting facts about its construction and its history and feel the impressive effect of the architecture and its furnishings from the Shrine of the Three Kings to the "RichterFenster".

Private tour Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber
If you ever take the Romantic Road, then a stop in Rothenburg ob der Tauber (meaning "above the Tauber River") is a must.
Considered by many as the perfect German fairy tale town, this place will make the travellers feel like they live in a medieval theme park.
And, because of this, Rothenburg has the strictest conservation orders from all of Germany. As a Free Imperial City from the 13th century onwards, Rothenburg became one of the most important city states of the middle ages.
During the 17th century Thirty Years War, the Ex-Mayor Nusch had to drink 3 litres of wine in a single gulp, in the famous story of the "Master draught" that happened in Market Square, the center of urban life in Rothenburg.
Admire the 50m Town Hall Tower (tickets not included and based on availability) and listen to that story and its outcome.
Don’t miss the Master-Builder's House, one of the “loveliest renaissance houses in Rothenburg”.
Pass the famous Plönlein (Flat Square), a road crossing found in all travel books of Germany.
The triangular square formed by the roads is present in pop culture, history and in your memory forever. Now to forget is also the Church of St. James, with its "The Last Supper" masterpiece of Tilman Riemenschneider. This is the only protestant church that has a roman-catholic relic in Germany. All this in a town where you can taste “snowballs”, or Schneebälle, a traditional pastry treat of Rothenburg.
One walk through its old town, with its web of cobbled lanes and the 14th century defensive wall will make everyone understand why this is an unmissable location.

Guided tour Bamberg
A disarmingly beautiful architectural masterpiece with an almost complete absence of modern eyesores, Bamberg's entire Altstadt is a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of Bavaria's unmissables.
Generally regarded as one of Germany's most attractive settlements, the town is bisected by rivers and canals and was built by archbishops on seven hills, earning it the inevitable sobriquet of ‘Franconian Rome’.
Students inject some liveliness into its streets, pavement cafes, pubs and no fewer than 10 breweries cooking up Bamberg's famous smoked beer, but it's usually wide-eyed tourists who can be seen filing through its narrow medieval streets.
Lear about its history and culture!

Tall tankards and high-tech cars, edgy art and Lederhosen – Munich is a city where traditional and modern sit side by side like few places on earth.
Bavaria's capital of Munich is an excellent base for a range of historical day trips to small cities like Nuremberg and Stuttgart, which are accessible by train.
Renting a car will get you to lesser-visited gems, especially the lakes in the region often surrounded by mountains.
