Top Reasons to Go

Frauenkirche in Dresden: Rising like a majestic baroque phoenix, the church is a worthy symbol of a city destroyed and rebuilt from its ashes. In the words of one Dresdener, "It feels as if a scar on my soul were healed."

Weimar: The history of Germany seems to revolve around this small town, whose past residents are a veritable who's who of the last 400 years.

Görlitz: Balanced on the border between Germany and Poland, this architectural gem is relatively undiscovered; you'll feel like you have the whole town to yourself.

Coffee and Cake in Leipzig: Take some time off from exploring the city to enjoy a Leipzig institution.

Following Martin Luther: Trace the path of the ultimate medieval rebel. Visiting Wittenberg, Eisenach, and the Wartburg not only exposes you to the rich cultural heritage of the area but also gives valuable insight into the mind and culture of a person whose ideas helped change the world.

Wine Tasting in the Salle-Unstrut: Europe's northernmost wine region is often called "the Tuscany of the North." The castle-topped, rolling hills covered in terraced vineyards are perfect for biking, hiking, and horseback riding. Most of the vineyards are family-run operations with long histories.
