Tour Details

---

Uncover the beauty of Eastern Germany’s most dramatic landscapes with a trip down the Elbe River. On your journey, you’ll experience the renaissance underway in Berlin since East and West Germany were unified, and you’ll marvel at the baroque splendor of Dresden. Exquisite palaces and beautifully landscaped gardens await you as you drink up the breathtaking scenery along the mystic Elbe. And that’s only the beginning. Your odyssey down the Elbe offers you the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Martin Luther, visit the opulent residences of the Saxon Monarchs and tour the famous Meissen porcelain factory. End your trip with an exploration of Prague with its massive Hradcany Castle complex and wonderful architecture.
