8 Days. 3N DUSSELDORF 4* (BO) | 4N MUNICH 4* (BO)

About the destination: This former fishing village is now one of the most important business and commercial centres in Germany. The state capital of North Rhine – Westphalia, Düsseldorf is an elegant and modern city with a quiet simplicity and a cheerful atmosphere. It is also Germany’s capital of fashion. More than 80% of the city’s Altstadt, the old quarter along the Rhine, was destroyed during WWII, but it was reconstructed and remains an enchanting maze of cobbled streets. The heart of the old quarter is the Marktplatz where we find the Rathaus, a Renaissance building housing the city hall. The restored Rathaus looks onto the statue of Elector Jan Wellem. The elector’s mausoleum can be visited at the beautiful early-baroque St Andreas Kirche. Another church worth visiting is St. Lawrence Basilica, which is one of the most interesting religious sites in the city. The beautiful church was built in the 14th century and is considered one of the oldest buildings in the city. Art lovers are in luck as the city has several interesting museums, particularly art museums. MedienHafen is the thriving harbour district that contrasts with the historical core with its modern glass buildings and an abundance of stylish drinking spots and eateries. With its lively cultural, gastronomic and nightlife scene, Düsseldorf is a city that has it all.

About the destination: Munich, situated on the river Isar in the south of Bavaria, is renowned for its world-class museums, stunning parks, the annual Oktoberfest beer festival and architecture. The gorgeous public buildings and monuments are a testament to the imperial ambitions of the Wittelsbach family, who ruled Bavaria from the 12th to the 20th century. Despite being heavily damaged by allied bombing during World War II, many of its historic buildings have been rebuilt and the city centre looks mostly as it did in the late 1800s, including its largest church, the Frauenkirche, and the famous city hall (Neues Rathaus). A peculiar blend of proud traditionalism and cutting-edge culture will keep you engaged and active, and the town does stay awake until the wee hours, with its many students and down-to-earth Bavarian zest for life.
