ODYSSEYS UNLIMITED: THE SMALL GROUP TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

Day 8: Munich A morning sightseeing tour of Germany’s most prosperous and highly livable city includes the Baroque Nymphenburg Palace, former summer home of Bavarian royalty; the Glockenspiel carillon in Marienplatz, Munich’s popular central square; the royal avenue of Maximilianstrasse. Then the remainder of the day is free to explore as we wish.

Tonight we dine together at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 9: Munich/Dachau/Nuremberg We travel just 10 miles outside Munich today to Dachau, site of Germany’s first concentration camp and today a memorial to the 40,000-plus who perished there.

After this somber encounter we continue on to Nuremberg, a historic city where Allied forces prosecuted Nazi leaders in military tribunals that became known as the Nuremberg Trials. Here we visit the haunting Nazi Party Rally Grounds, covering almost seven miles with the huge, unfinished Congress Hall as a backdrop.

Then we take a walking tour of this city known for its medieval architecture. B,L,D

Day 10: Nuremberg/Dresden This morning we visit several sites associated with the Nuremberg Trials, including the Palace of Justice complex where the momentous trials took place. After our tour here and free time for lunch, we travel on to Dresden. B,D

Day 11: Dresden

Its historical center largely destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II, Dresden today is a rebuilt and reunified city.

Among the attrac-
tions of the capital
of Saxony seen on
this morning’s tour:
the beautiful and
beloved Semper
Opera House; and
the historic Green
Vault in Dresden Castle, the “jewel box” of Europe
housing an astounding array of treasures, includ-
ing the crown jewels and the world’s largest green
diamond. The remainder of the day is at leisure to
explore as we wish. B

Day 12: Dresden/Meissen/Berlin Leaving Dresden, this morning, en route to Berlin, we stop in Meissen to visit the factory that produced the world’s first high quality porcelain outside of the Far East. Opened in 1710, Meissen’s Royal Porcelain Factory still creates the fine china that is on display in museums and homes around the world. We continue on to Berlin, where we enjoy dinner together. B,D

Day 13: Berlin Germany's capital, its largest city, cultural center, and beating heart, Berlin is both provincial and international, historic and up-to-the-minute, sophisticated and friendly. We get our first taste on this morning’s tour featuring the Brandenburg Gate, the triumphal arch now a symbol of reunification; and the Neues Museum housing a collection of Egyptian artifacts, including the renowned bust of Nefertiti. We continue on to the Berlin Wall Memorial, the remaining section of the partition that brutally divided the city – and the nation – from 1961 to 1989. Now a historical monument and tribute to victims, the memorial traces the history of the wall and German reunification. Here, too, is Checkpoint Charlie, symbol of a once-divided nation. The remainder of the day is free for independent exploration in this non-stop metropolis. Lunch and dinner are on our own, and Berlin boasts a lively – and cosmopolitan – culinary scene. B

Day 14: Berlin/Potsdam Today we visit nearby Potsdam, former capital of Prussia, site of the victorious Allies’ post-World War II conference, and home of Sanssouci, the former summer palace of Frederick the Great of Prussia. We tour the elaborate manse, considered the “German Versailles,” with its parks, lakes, and follies. Then we return to Berlin for an afternoon at leisure; tonight we gather for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 15: Depart for the U.S. We transfer to the Berlin airport this morning for our return flights to the U.S. B
