Drive into the spiritual heart of Germany on these trips, which are found in the regions in and around the compelling capital of Berlin. There’s natural beauty galore: Baltic shores feature endless beaches and beautiful surf; inland, pristine lakes abound amid ancient beech forests.
But it’s the proud and ancient cities that really stand out. Dresden is a baroque wonderland of buildings and churches. Beguiling, strollable Lübeck was the Hanseatic League capital, which once made this region one of the world’s richest and most civilised. And the riches weren’t limited to the coasts – wealthy potentates built lavishly from the Harz Mountains to the sea.
On these drives, you’ll discover hulking castles, opulent palaces and magnificent gardens, along with excellent German food and drink.
