Itinerary

  1. Arrive in the lively Bavarian capital and settle into your hotel. Munich’s vibrant blend of culture, green spaces, and traditional beer gardens makes it a great place to begin your journey. Don’t miss the English Garden, Town Hall Glockenspiel, or a visit to the historic Hofbräuhaus.

Flights are not included with this holiday, but we recommend flying to Munich and returning from Munich.
