Germany
Germany's landscape is straight from the Fairy tales: castles, deep dark forests and mythical rivers. The German landscapes are extraordinarily diverse, with graceful big-city appeal, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture, and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has molded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse.
France
France remains one of the worlds most talked-about and written-about destinations. Whether the romance of Paris sweeps you off your feet or you fall gently for the relaxed life of Provence, France is a place for lovers, and will leave you spellbound. Paris is undoubtedly one of the world's great cities, with enough monuments, museums, restaurants, theatres and shows to last a lifetime. The northern provinces of Normandy and Brittany are steeped in history while the Loire Valley is world famous for its châteaux. And there is more to explore.

Munich
Big city style and rural charm, Alpine character and Mediterranean verve, art treasures and the Oktoberfest, traditional customs and high technology, beer gardens and haute cuisine, operas and cool bars; these are all ingredients that makes Bavaria's state capital so endlessly fascinating, and so popular with visitors from around the world. Sprawling Munich is one of Germany's major cultural centers, second only to Berlin in terms of museums and theaters. It's also one of Germany's most festive cities, and its location, at the foot of the Alps, is idyllic. Munich's self-imposed image is that of a fun-loving and festival-addicted city - typified by its Oktoberfest.
Explore Marienplatz and the New Town Hall of Munich, Frauenkirche - Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady, Dachau Concentration Camp, The English Garden, Beer Halls, Viktualienmarkt, Residence Palace of Munich, Deutsches Museum, Museums Ensemble: Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek, Pinakothek der Moderne, Olympic Stadium of Munich, BMW Museum and much more. -
Strasbourg
Strasbourg has been `walking the tight rope` between France and Germany, and is all the more exciting and beautiful for it. We`re left with a city boasting beautiful turn-of-the-century districts built by the Germans, and hi-tech 17th-century fortifications designed by Vauban. The sense of cross-pollination continues in the cuisine and wine, and also in the presence of international institutions like the European Parliament. Visit The Musée Alsacien, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, La Petite France, Maison Kammerzell, Quartier Krutenau, Historical Museum, Parc de l`Orangerie, European Parliament, and so much more!

Heidelberg
Heidelberg is home to a 13th century castle, the oldest university in Germany, and the longest pedestrian street in Europe. The city is situated below the mountains, and flanks the river Neckar in southwest Germany. Tourists flock here for its charming old town and rich history as well as its stunning landscapes, shops, cafes, and beautiful architecture. In addition to universities, Heidelberg hosts many internationally renowned research institutes and research-based companies.

Rothenburg ob der tauber
On the Romantic Road, in the south of Germany, Rothenburg ob der tauber is the best preserved medieval city in Europe. Picturesquely positioned on the steep banks of the River Tauber, its walls and towers have remained unharmed since the Thirty Years War of 1618. As you explore the town's impressive old streets and buildings, you'll feel as if you stepped back in time.

Nuremberg suffered a lot of damage during WWII, but has regained its vitality and is now a symbol of postwar prosperity. Many of the city's most important buildings, including some of the finest churches in Germany have been restored. The Altstadt (Old City) is a medieval walled city with large pedestrian walkways. Don't miss the city's churches including Frauenkirche St. Lorenze Kirche and St. Sebaldus Kirche and the Albrecht Durer House where the artist lived for 20 years.
