On this guided holiday of Central Europe, experience the rich history and most popular destinations without the crowds—and even better—without the high-season prices. This Central Europe escorted tour is a magnificent journey starting in the Czech Republic before entering Germany, to discover Saxony and Bavaria. Both your eyes and tastebuds will be kept busy by scenic Saxony. Visit the elegantly restored city of Dresden, the cultural hub of Leipzig and Colditz castle, the renaissance castle that became an infamous prisoner of war camp during WW2 and try the local wines. Travel south through Germany to Bavaria. Visit Nuremberg before arriving at its most famous city – Munich. While the theatrical Glockenspiel clock in Munich’s Marienplatz may announce the time three times a day, the lively Biergarten throughout Germany will happily tell you it’s always “beer thirty.”
