Days 1 - 3

From the grand boulevards that map out the city of Berlin, and the festive charm of the Christmas Markets in Bebelplatz to exploring Museum Island and travelling to the stately palaces in historical Potsdam, the first days are a rich weave of history, holiday warmth, and timeless architecture.

Begin with a guided orientation tour through central Berlin, covering Unter den Linden, the State Opera, and Gendarmenmarkt. As night falls, visit the Bebelplatz Christmas Market, located near Humboldt University - once the site of Nazi book burnings, now lined with lights and wooden stalls before retreating to your hotel for an evening of relaxation. On your second day, explore Museum Island during the morning and then travel west to Charlottenburg Palace. Its Christmas market welcomes you in the courtyard and gardens of this baroque former royal residence, with regional specialties and handcrafts available - the perfect souvenir. Your final day in Berlin offers a day trip to the city of Potsdam, in the state of Brandenburg. Here, a walking tour covers only a few of the 150 buildings dating back to 1750, and focused on important sites like the Dutch Quarter and Sanssouci Palace - Frederick the Great’s 18th-century retreat.

Days 4 - 7

Experience the postcard-perfect Christmas Markets in this next step of your journet; Munich’s Marienplatz offers scale in comparison to the nostalgic magic of Nuremberg and Augsburg’s storybook markets, whilst we invite you to delight in local food, craft, and tradition.

After Berlin, spend the day travelling to Munich before partaking in a walking tour of Marienplatz, the Glockenspiel, and the Frauenkirche. In the evening, the city’s main Christmas market fills the square with music and mulled wine. Munich is the perfect base for taking day trips to some of Germany's most picturesque festive markets, and so on your fifth day you'll take a day trip to Nuremberg, home to Germany’s most famous Christkindlesmarkt. Held since the 16th century, it offers regional specialties like Nürnberger bratwurst and spiced Lebkuchen. The following day continue the christmas market visit, with a day spent in Augsburg, where Renaissance-era buildings and the Fuggerei - the world’s oldest social housing project - sit alongside a long-running Christmas market in the old town - a perfect final day in Germany before you cross the border. Once you have arrived in Innsbruck, Austria on your seventh day, join a guided dog sledding experience outside the city, an adventurous way to take in the snowy alpine surroundings and start the final leg of your itinerary.

Days 8 - 12

Amid visits to snow-capped Neuschwanstein Castle, enjoy culinary experiences set in the forested trails of the Bavarian Alps, crafting a final chapter filled with afternoons spent in the good company of friends, family and delightful food.

The next begins at Neuschwanstein Castle, Ludwig II’s 19th-century retreat built on a ridge above Hohenschwangau and notably the inspiration for the castle in Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Continue west through the region to Oberammergau, famous for its once-a-decade Passion Play and long tradition of woodcarving. Later, walk through the Partnachklamm gorge in nearby Garmisch-Partenkirchen - a dramatic route through ice-lined cliffs and tunnels. On your final day, head east to the forests near Schloss Elmau for a guided wildlife experience. Here, naturalists lead small groups on foot through protected alpine terrain, where species such as chamois and red deer can often be seen against the backdrop of the Wetterstein mountains - the perfect end to your time in the Bavarian Alps.

Day 1

Stand beneath the neoclassical arches of Brandenburg Gate, where centuries of history converge, then ascend the Reichstag’s glass dome to reflect on the reunification of a country with a vivid past.

Begin in Pariser Platz, where the Brandenburg Gate - commissioned by Frederick William II in 1788 - has witnessed Napoleon’s troops, Cold War divisions, and reunification celebrations. Once a symbol of division, it now marks unity and peace at the heart of Berlin. Just steps away, the Reichstag building offers another perspective. Take a journey to its Norman Foster-designed glass dome, a transparent emblem of democratic renewal, with sweeping views over Berlin’s skyline and the seat of the Bundestag directly below.

Days 2 - 4

From ancient treasures on Museum Island to the memories of its divided past, Berlin reveals itself through the cathedrals, concrete walls, and stoic stelae.

Your second day in Berlin takes you east to Museum Island, where five major museums span civilizations from Babylon to Byzantium. The Neues Museum houses the bust of Nefertiti; the Pergamon Museum, the reconstructed Ishtar Gate. Next door, Berlin Cathedral invites you to climb its dome for a view over the Spree. Of course, no journey to Berlin can turn a blind eye to the city's Cold War past. Start at the Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Strasse on your third day, where a preserved stretch of wall, guard tower, and “death strip” remain intact. Then travel east to the East Side Gallery where more than 100 murals painted onto the wall’s longest surviving stretch make for a vivid contemplation of history. The fourth day calls for a visit to the Holocaust Memorial, a field of 2,711 concrete slabs that rise and dip across a city block. Just south is Checkpoint Charlie, the former border crossing between East and West Berlin, a notable point of those entering of leaving the city during the Cold War.

Days 5 - 6

South of Berlin’s center, Kreuzberg and Neukölln showcase the city’s creative, multicultural layers - from street art and markets to parkland on a former airfield.

Of course, although Berlin's history is a major part of understanding its modern countenance, there are other sights and narratives to take in as well. Your fifth day starts in Kreuzberg with a walking tour through its backstreets, where large-scale murals and independent galleries trace the area’s history of immigration, squatting, and subculture. Along the Landwehr Canal, the Turkish Market offers street food, produce, and textiles - part of the neighborhood’s long-standing Turkish-German identity.
These sights bring you to Tempelhofer Feld, a decommissioned airport turned massive public park. You can bike or walk along the former runways or sit among Berliners picnicking in the open field. End the day and your itinerary in Neukölln, just southeast, where creative spaces, local bakeries, and rooftop bars reflect Berlin’s changing demographic landscape before returning home.
