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.

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?
