Explore an iconic landmark of Berlin with a guided visit to the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse. See the Neo-Renaissance Reichstag, the Tiergarten, Brandenburg Gate and Unter den Linden with a Local Specialist during your sightseeing tour. Enjoy some free time this afternoon exploring the city on your own or consider joining an Optional Experience delving into Berlin’s secret past. - Day 3 – Off to Dresden:

Visit the village of Mödlareuth, which inherited the moniker of ‘Little Berlin’ due to its wall separating East and West Germany. Gain insights into a divided Germany at its open-air museum and see a section of the original wall with its security features. This afternoon, arrive in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg, once the unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire and today the economic, social and cultural capital of Franconia. During your orientation see the mighty castle ramparts and stand in the Hauptmarkt main square which is dominated by the impressive Frauenkirche, a great example of the Gothic brick-style architecture of the region. Spend the rest of your day at leisure indulging in the local specialty of grilled Nürnberger Rostbratwurst with sauerkraut. - Day 5 – On to Rothenburg and the Black Forest:
Stroll through the cobbled lanes of Rothenburg, a storybook town wrapped in medieval walls.
