Itinerary
Friday departures from USA to Frankfurt on overnight flight
Day 1: Saturday: Frankfurt
Upon arrival at Frankfurt Airport, your driver will take you to your hotel in your private limousine. Rest of day at leisure. Overnight at the Arabella Sheraton Buesingpalais Frankfurt/Offenbach or similar.
Day 2: Sunday: Frankfurt - Heidelberg - Frankfurt (B/L)
After breakfast , depart for a city tour of Frankfurt including the Goethes House and Roemer, and the city square where emperors were crowned in medieval times. Your tour continues along the soaring skyscrapers and towers that earned Frankfurt its nickname, “Mainhattan”. Continue to Heidelberg, home of the student-prince. Visit the famous castle, stroll through the picturesque old town and enjoy our welcome lunch in the famous 15th century Ritter restaurant. In the afternoon return to your hotel in Frankfurt.
Day 3: Monday: Frankfurt–Rüdesheim–Rhine-valley–Koblenz–Cologne (B)
In the morning your coach will take you to famous Rudesheim where, after strolling through the world-famous Drosselgasse, you board a steamer to glide along wine yards and castles, some of them more than 1000 years old, to St. Goarshausen. Continue by coach to Koblenz, the city where the Moselle river meets the Rhine, and from there you drive on to Cologne. Evening at leisure to explore some local breweries, where the “Kölsch” (light beer served in small glasses) can be sampled. Overnight at Hotel Mado, or similar.
Day 4: Tuesday: Cologne (B)
Beginning at the cathedral of Cologne, one of the largest Gothic churches in Europe, your city-tour will lead you through small old-town alleys and splendid avenues to the Rhine-River with its bridges and parks. For sweet-lovers we have planned a visit to the Chocolate Museum, where you can learn all about chocolate and then sample from the large chocolate fountain. Take your time in the afternoon to explore Cologne on your own.
Day 5: Wednesday: Cologne – Mainz - Frankfurt (D)
After breakfast you will drive to another famous city along the Rhine: Mainz, and visit Old Town, the Cathedral and the Museum of Johannes Gutenberg, the man who invented the printing press. Your tour ends in Frankfurt in the late afternoon or, if you prefer, you may check into your optionally booked post–tour hotel.
