Germany

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Germany is a large country in the heart of Central Europe, bordered by nine nations and shaped by a rich and complex history that spans from medieval kingdoms to the modern era. It is known for its striking diversity — from the Bavarian Alps and the Black Forest in the south to the flat plains and Baltic coastline in the north, along with world-class cities like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Cologne. Travellers are drawn by its vibrant arts and nightlife scenes, iconic festivals like Oktoberfest, extensive cycling and hiking trails, historic castles, and some of Europe's finest museums and galleries. Germany is also a major hub for rail travel, making it an ideal base for exploring the wider European continent.

German Christmas Markets — Self-Launched Version

An 8-day self-launched Christmas market trail through Germany, from Frankfurt to Berlin, following the same route as Trafalgar's guided coach tour but booked independently. You'll travel by Deutsche Bahn trains and regional buses, staying in hostels and budget guesthouses, and dipping into the same medieval squares, cathedral towns and market stalls — Frankfurt's Römerplatz, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt, Erfurt's medieval market, Leipzig, Dresden's Striezelmarkt and Berlin's Kurfürstendamm. No coach, no fixed group — just a rail pass, a warm coat and glühwein money. Costs are approximate per-person estimates in GBP at December hostel/budget-hotel rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Germany yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Attend Oktoberfest with a plan, leave with a stein, a new liver philosophy, and zero memory of the plan."
