Day 4
HAMBURG–LÜBECK–BERLIN
Start the day with an orientation drive in Hamburg, one of Germany’s greatest maritime cities. Later, depart for Lübeck, formerly a free Hanseatic city and independent state. Lübeck, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered the cultural capital of northern Germany. Thomas Mann, Günther Grass, and Willy Brandt—all Nobel laureates—were among the famous residents of this city. Later, arrive in Berlin and enjoy your first evening in the capital of Germany. (B)
Day 5
BERLIN
No longer divided but every bit as fascinating, Berlin was once the city of contrasts with the wall separating two different worlds. Now, the city has developed into a harmonious blend of new and old, preserving its historical buildings and impressive boulevards as well as creating brand new buildings in contemporary architectural styles. See all of this on the included city sightseeing with a Local Guide. (B)
Day 6
BERLIN–DRESDEN–LEIPZIG
Travel southwest to Dresden, the former capital of Saxony, once known as the “Florence on the Elbe.” Upon arrival, you will enjoy an orientation tour of the city, followed by some free time to explore at your own pace.

Day 8
NUREMBERG–ROTHENBURG–MUNICH
As you leave Nuremberg, stop for a photo at the famous Zeppelinfield. On the way to Munich, visit the quaint medieval village of Rothenburg on the Romantic Road.
