Chicago IL, USA

From Chicago to…

Germany

Forested and hilly, the country of Germany is a beautiful, varied country with an impressive culture. Despite having a huge array of travel opportunities, it doesn’t get the attention of places like Italy or France and rarely see it on top of travelers’ lists. Why? That’s still unclear. But what is clear is that its deep forests, fairy-tale castles, and picture-perfect towns are something that shouldn’t be missed.

Whether you want to explore a historic museum or take part in one of the world-famous pubs, contact the experts at Sunset Travel & Cruise in Chicago can help you understand all of your options and choose the best things you can experience in Germany!

Germany has a long and rich history. Even if you don’t know the details, you know the names like Albert Einstein, Ludwig van Beethoven and Karl Marx. Add to all these some excellent beer, bratwurst, and an abundance of activities, and you’ll soon wonder what took you so long to visit Germany.

When you book your trip with Sunset Travel & Cruise, you’ll get a personal travel agent who has been there, done that, and can help you plan the perfect vacation to Germany from start to finish.

I wanted to visit Paris for my 60th birthday present to myself and by myself. I honestly remembered this company when I went to college nearby in the 1980's.Renee and Latrissa listened to wanted I... wanted to do and arranged the flight and hotels. They made suggestions - some I took - and they made the arrangements.I had a very enjoyable trip with no difficulties until the flight home which was delayed. I was informed by Renee on this and Latrissa welcomed me home.This was my first international trip in 2 decades and it could not have gone more smoothly. Hope to go back France and plan on using Sunset Travel. Merci.read more

I really needed help with my overseas trip and met Ryan. He was fantastic and planned the best itinerary for me. Everything was smooth and when there was a change to a departure time, he reached out... to make sure I was aware of it. They are in the neighborhood so it was convenient to stop by. Although, I'm certain it all could have been handled remotely, I appreciated sitting down face to face with Ryan. All and all, I will definitely use Sunset Travel again.read more

Renee and team were so helpful in working with us to plan our honeymoon. We told them a few quick things we were looking for, and they took care of the rest. They were very knowledgeable of the areas... we were looking to travel to, and were able to provide very specific things to watch out for and keep in mind. Our entire experience was hassle free. If you’re looking for an experience where you cut out a lot of stress and effort that usually go into travel planning, I highly recommend Sunset Travel and Cruise.read more

The team at Sunset Travel & Cruise was super helpful through the planning of our trip. We worked with Hannah who helped us plan our honeymoon to Italy with only about 6-8 weeks notice (we kept... pushing it off with pandemic concerns). She made everything easy and stress free. She gave us great activity suggestions and listened to our location and budget requests. Everything was thoroughly planned and we got a super helpful off-line app with all our reservations which was easy to pull up while traveling. The accommodations that were booked were wonderful gems. The activities were all planned with private guides and transport which made us feel much more luxurious than we actual are. We can't wait to use this team again for our next trip and we have already highly recommended them to our friends and family.read more

Cologne, Germany

Set on the Rhine River, Cologne is the perfect European city for a break, whether you’re looking for culture, entertainment, or pampering thermal baths. Full of art, culture and history, it’s home to one of the most impressive cathedrals in the world, colorful botanical gardens, and the several museums and attracts a variety of travelers here.

And for a beer break in between the Romanesque churches and museums, you’re in luck. Cologne is the city with the most pubs per person in Germany. Add in cool neighborhoods, a dynamic new riverside district, and a celebrated cathedral, and you leave with more items on your bucket list than you had when you came.

But this old electoral capital is also a city of wide streets lined by elegant shops, tons of parks and gardens surrounding the downtown area, and home to an incredible cultural center with dozens of museums and more than 100 art galleries. .

In addition to everything to do in Düsseldorf year-round, you might want to visit in July. That’s when the city hosts the Largest Fair on the Rhine, a massive week-long funfair attracting more than four million visitors.

Located on the River Elbe, Germany’s second largest metropolis offers up an abundance of parks and green spaces, historic centers, more bridges than any other city in the world, museums rife with world-class art and memorabilia, and fine dining restaurants that line the riverbank.

It’s also one of the biggest ports in Europe, and the Elbe River and hundreds of canals flow through the city center. Because many of its top attractions are clustered in the center, Hamburg is easy to explore on foot.

Eastern Germany

Berlin, Germany

As Germany’s capital, Berlin is one of the most interesting cities in Europe, and certainly the one that has changed the most in the last 20 years. Once the symbol of the Cold War, it has become Europe’s capital of cool – a vibrant mix of fashion, design, music, and art. It’s experienced a renaissance as of late, with new hotels and restaurants opening amid the historic museums and landmarks. And of course, there’s the beer.

Berlin is a budget traveler’s paradise, and this cultural city has something for everyone, from buzzing nightlife to more than 170 world-class museums, galleries, and philharmonics. You can go shopping to Kurfürstendamm, the city’s most famous avenue; sample the Berlinese coffee culture in the Mitte (the historical center of Berlin); and really take in the nightlife in the fashionable Friedrichshain area.

Some of the more popular attractions include:

The Berlin Wall Memorial
Zoo Berlin
Topography of Terror
Brandenburg Gate
Museum Island
Reichstag
Tiergarten
Pergamonmuseum
East Side Gallery

Munich, Germany

Most people know Munich, the capital of Bavaria, for its world-famous Oktoberfest, a two-week-long festival featuring Germany’s best beers and bratwurst. But the appeal goes far beyond local beer culture (although that’s a big part of it.)

The city bumps against the Bavarian Alps and rests beside the River Isar, and is full of natural beauty and yet its streets are also lined with man-made marvels — designer retail shops and shiny BMWs. It’s a “cosmopolitan city with a big heart” where you can find magnificent architecture, castles, museums, fine dining, shopping, entertainment, and lovely parks, all filled with a contagious creative energy.

Some of the most popular attractions include:

English Garden
Church of Our Lady
Marienplatz
Deutsches Museum
Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm
BMW Welt
Nymphenburg Palace
Bayerische Staatsoper Opera House
Modern Picture Gallery
Residenz Royal Palace

The Romantic Road

Germany’s most scenic drive, the Romantic Road is based (very) loosely on the old Roman route between the participating towns. Add in some stunning medieval locations to the north, and the Romantic Road appears to be based on history and tradition, but it’s actually a much more modern invention.

In the post-war times, Germany was desperate to rebuild a tourism industry, which gave birth to the idea of the formal “route,” which was created in 1950.

Since then visitors have been coming in droves to discover the rich culture, picturesque scenery, and medieval character of this fantastic country. Be warned that the route is quite touristy and can get pretty busy during the summer months, but it’s one of the most authentic German experiences you can take in. It combines local hospitality with history, art, culture, and natural beauty — where else can you get that?
