Day 2 - Kehl
Ohen you glimpse the half-timbered buildings, narrow canals, flowers blooming on balconies and old towers standing sentry over the scene, you know you have stepped into Strasbourg.
Located just across the Rhine from Strasbourg, Kehl is your access point to the Alsace capital – simply put, one of the most photogenic old towns in existence.
Strasbourg boasts a breathtakingly gorgeous Gothic cathedral and twisting alleyways and has the first city center to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 3 - Karlsruhe & Mannheim
Located on the Rhineland Plain near the French-German border, the city of Karlsruhe is nestled between the Black Forest, the Vosges mountains and the Palatinate Forest.
A forward-thinking and cultured city, it is regarded as a hub of science and technology. Arts and culture also flourish here, creating an atmosphere of dynamic vitality.
Filled with parks and museums, Karlsruhe and nearby suburbs are lined with art nouveau townhomes, serving as a reminder of the city’s proximity to France.
The name Benz is synonymous with automotive innovation, and here is where this legacy began. Also born here was the “man-powered running machine” (or bicycle), the Lanz Bulldog tractor and first rocket-powered aircraft, firmly establishing the city as the place for innovation and industry. The university town is also alive with hubs of diverse food, drink and shopping, as well as a thriving art and musical culture.
Day 4 - Rudesheim
Rüdesheim’s scenic location on the UNESCO-designated Rhine Gorge doesn’t sweep you off your feet, then the town’s medieval Old Town with its half-timbered buildings and narrow lanes, especially the Drosselgasse overflowing with charming shops and taverns, surely will.
The region’s renowned Rieslings, produced here for centuries from vineyards dating to Roman times, promise to delight.
Day 5 - Koblenz
Located where the Rhine and Moselle rivers and three mountain ranges meet, Koblenz’ scenery is unmatched. Add to that the city’s 2,000-year-old history, hilltop fortress and squares lined by classic Germanic architecture and you have a place ready made for photos.
Ambling along the town’s narrow lanes and river promenade, you might encounter medieval churches, flower-filled parks, sidewalk cafes and perhaps a weinstube, or wine tavern, ideal for sipping Riesling and drinking in the atmosphere.
Day 6 - Cologne
Germany’s most visited landmark – the UNESCO-listed Cologne Cathedral – dominates the skyline here, its magnificent Gothic twin-spires reaching toward the heavens.
Peel your eyes away from the Kölner Dom, its local name, to see the space needle-like Rhine Tower, ancient Roman ruins, a modern museum, cozy beerhalls and the arches of the Hohenzollern Bridge, reconstructed after the war.
Day 7 - Amsterdam
Everyone has an image of Amsterdam. For some, it’s small boats gliding on the canals and locals two-wheeling on bikes to work and, as frequently, to meet friends for drinks.
or others, it’s gabled buildings leaning, seemingly precariously, over cobbled streets and cozy taverns illuminated by candles. Still others imagine tulips in bloom and the paintings Vermeer, Van Gogh and Rembrandt.
Day 8 - Amsterdam
