Germany Holidays

Cruise along romantic river valleys and soak up the scenic landscapes as you sail through idyllic villages, fairy-tale castles and rolling vineyard-clad hills. Wind though the meandering Moselle and the spiritual home of river cruising, the mighty Rhine, on a scenic voyage of dramatic vistas. Watch Germany's vivid scenery unfold from deep forests and craggy cliffs to wine-producing vineyards and half-timbered towns.

Feel the spirit-lifting culture of Cologne as you set your eyes on the Gothic twin spires of its magnificent cathedral and many-a- medieval churches dotted around town. Sample the city's famous 'Kolsch' beer  as you stroll the ancient, cobbled streets of the Cologne Altstadt - its streets crammed with shops, cake-selling 'Konditorei' and bars.

With enchanting architecture seemingly plucked from the world of fairy tales, take some time to hear the stories of knights, dukes and feuding lords and the devastating wars of the past inside impressive castles. See the breathtaking multi-turreted Drachenburg Castle and stroll in the extensive grounds which offer unforgettable views over the Rhine or enjoy sights of the turrets and towers of 'Mad' King Ludwig's famous castle at Neuschwanstein.

Travelling with Newmarket Holidays, head to the iconic German capital, Berlin. See the arch of the Brandenburg Gate, the Unter den Linden and visit the reminders of 20th-century conflict - from Hitler's Bunker to Checkpoint Charlie. Gaze through time as you walk along remnants of the Berlin Wall.
