Germany Airfares

The largest country in Western Europe, Germany extends from the North Sea ports of Hamburg and Bremen to the mountain-fringed Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse). In between, you will find the industrial area of the Ruhr, the cultural centers of Dresden, Weimar and Leipzig, and the spa resorts of the Black Forest.

Take a cruise or excursion from Koblenz or Rüdesheim and follow in the footsteps of writers, artists and composers, who have been inspired by the magnificent scenery of the Rhine Valley for centuries.

In the perfectly preserved medieval walled town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria, step back in time as you explore the cobbled, traffic-free streets lined with historic buildings.

Beer drinking is an important part of the German culture and, wherever you are in Germany, you can sample the local beer. Although there are over 1,000 German breweries, all beers still conform to the Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) of 1516, which states that beer can only contain water, hops, yeast and malt.

If you prefer to drink wine, there are several home-grown varieties, including the dry white wines produced in the Moselle Valley.

At the Christmas Markets, held throughout Germany from late November until Christmas, you can browse a wide range of often unusual gifts, decorations and food, whilst sipping warm mulled wine (Glühwein) and enjoying the distinctively German festive atmosphere.
