Berlin is a year-round destination. The Christmas markets are particularly fun and great for getting into the festive spirit. The city looks particularly beautiful in spring and summer, and some of the best weather for sight-seeing can be had in autumn, when days are generally mild and clear.

Itinerary

Day 1-5

Berlin, Germany

Day 1 – Arrival in Berlin

Arrive in Berlin and meet your private driver for a seamless transfer to your hotel. Once settled, enjoy a private tour of Kreuzberg, one of Berlin’s most creative neighbourhoods. Taste local specialities such as currywurst, stroll streets lined with independent shops, and discover colourful street art. Hear stories about Kreuzberg’s history and contemporary culture, experiencing Berlin’s vibrant energy. This is your first immersive glimpse of the city, offering a perfect mix of gastronomy, history and local flavour.

Day 2 – West Berlin Highlights

Explore west Berlin with your private guide, from Charlottenburg Palace and its gardens to the bustling Ku’damm boulevard, lined with elegant shops and cosy side streets. Visit the Victory Column and Tiergarten park before continuing to iconic landmarks such as the Reichstag and Brandenburg Gate. Learn about Berlin’s history and contemporary culture in a relaxed, insightful way. This day balances grand architecture with local streets, giving a comprehensive understanding of the city’s past and present.

Day 3 – East Berlin & the Berlin Wall

Discover Berlin’s eastern districts, where history and creativity intersect. Visit the UNESCO-listed Museumsinsel from the outside, and then Alexanderplatz, Berlin’s central square. Stop at the Berlin Wall Memorial and walk along Bornholmer Bridge, the site where the Wall first opened in 1989. Finish at the East Side Gallery, the world’s largest open-air gallery, where artists have transformed the Wall into a vibrant canvas. This is Berlin’s most evocative area, combining historical reflection with artistic expression.

Day 4 – Palaces and Parks of Potsdam

A short drive from Berlin takes you to Potsdam, a city of palaces and landscaped gardens. Visit Sanssouci Palace, Frederick the Great’s rococo summer residence, and explore its expansive gardens. Continue to the baroque New Palace, before wandering Potsdam’s Dutch Quarter and the Russian colony of Alexandrowka. End the day at Glienicke Bridge, historically known as the “Spy Bridge.” This excursion blends architectural grandeur, history and cultural insight, offering a charming contrast to Berlin’s urban pace.

Accommodation: Hotel Adlon Kempinski ( 4 nights )
Day 5-8

Nuremberg, Germany

Day 5 – Travel to Nuremberg

Enjoy a private transfer to Berlin Central Station and take the train to Nuremberg, with reserved seats for comfort. On arrival, your driver will meet you at the platform for a smooth transfer to your hotel. The afternoon is free to relax or take a gentle stroll through Nuremberg’s cobbled Old Town, offering a first impression of its medieval charm before the guided exploration begins.

Day 6 – Nuremberg: Medieval and Modern History

Explore Nuremberg with your guide, discovering the medieval Old Town’s timber-framed houses, historic churches and winding streets. Contrast this with a visit to the former Nazi Rally Grounds, where monumental architecture offers a sobering reflection on Germany’s 20th-century history. The Documentation Centre provides context with exhibitions that are insightful yet approachable. Nuremberg offers a rich blend of beauty, history and reflection, making it a compelling stop for travellers interested in both heritage and modern narratives.

Day 7 – Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Take a private excursion to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, one of Germany’s most picturesque medieval towns. Explore cobbled streets, colourful gabled houses and charming fountains that appear unchanged for centuries. Learn about life in the Middle Ages and Renaissance while wandering alleys and courtyards filled with character. After your visit, return to Nuremberg and continue by private transfer to Munich, marking the start of the Bavarian leg of your journey.

Accommodation: Karl August Nuremberg ( 3 nights )
Day 8-11

Munich, Germany

Day 8 – Bavarian Pretzel Workshop

Experience a hands-on culinary tradition in Bavaria. Learn to prepare pretzels under expert guidance, from mixing the dough to shaping and baking. Taste your creations fresh from the oven and enjoy the satisfaction of mastering this iconic German snack. This interactive workshop offers insight into Bavarian food culture in a relaxed and enjoyable setting, providing a welcome change of pace from sightseeing.

Day 9 – Munich: Landmarks and Local Life

Explore Munich with a private guide on a walking tour through the Old Town. Visit the Frauenkirche, Marienplatz, St Peter’s Church and the Residenz, former seat of Bavarian rulers. Later, step inside a traditional brewhouse to see craft beer in production, and learn about the city’s brewing heritage. This combination of history, architecture and local culture offers a rounded perspective of Bavaria’s capital, showcasing both iconic landmarks and authentic experiences.

Day 10 – Neuschwanstein Castle and Oberammergau

Visit Neuschwanstein Castle, the fairy-tale palace of King Ludwig II, whose towers inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. Explore its interiors and admire panoramic Alpine views. Continue to Oberammergau, renowned for its Passion Play and elaborately decorated houses. Visit artisan workshops where traditional wooden carvings are still crafted by hand. Return to Munich with a lasting impression of Germany’s fairytale castles and cultural richness, rounding off an unforgettable journey through the country’s highlights.

Day 11 – Departure from Munich

After breakfast, a private transfer will take you directly to Munich airport. Travel in comfort, with luggage handled and schedules arranged, ensuring a smooth conclusion to your trip. Reflect on your journey—from Berlin’s lively streets to Bavaria’s fairytale castles—bringing home memories of Germany’s history, culture and iconic experiences.
