Roam Germany in an exclusive small group & get a €100 shopping voucher for free

As traveling to Europe and exploring the Romantic Road and Alpine Road in Germany becomes more accessible, travelers are also starting to notice details beyond the tour fare. Whether it's accommodation, dining, or the variety of transportation options, these are all key elements that attract visitors. Domestic travel agencies are focusing on small-group, limited-capacity tours, emphasizing that each group has no more than 26 people. The itineraries include diverse modes of transport such as high-speed trains, ferry rides on lakes, and horse-drawn carriages, making the trip richer. Accommodation is also arranged in hotels near major attractions, such as within old towns or at the foot of Neuschwanstein Castle. This not only saves travel time but also allows more time to experience world-famous historic sites.

Germany is known as the “Land of Poets and Thinkers,” the “Home of Musicians,” and the “Birthplace of Mercedes-Benz.” As the curtain of travel slowly rises, the vibrant city of Berlin is leading this millennia-old nation into a new century. The court architecture of Potsdam is simply mesmerizing; as the lights dim, the “Pearl on the Elbe” lights up the night sky. Dresden’s magnificent opera house and Green Vault treasure museum are so beautiful they take your breath away. The small town of Weimar turns out to be a powerhouse of vast literary and musical heritage, with the air filled with petals of art fluttering and dancing.

 

Shangxuan Travel, deeply involved in German tourism, is now launching the “2013 Shangxuan Germany Essence 13-Day Tour.” The itinerary alternates between cities and towns, combining famous sightseeing routes such as the Romantic Road, Alpine Road, Castle Road, Legendary Road, and Goethe Road. It also intersperses cultural and natural landscape activities to create a journey full of rhythm and variety. Examples include uncovering the secrets of Bavarian kings’ palaces, visiting the BMW Museum, witnessing the making of Black Forest cuckoo clocks, and enjoying a two-hour soak in the thermal pools at the Caracalla Spa in the spa resort of Baden-Baden. The tour also includes entry to Frederick the Great’s summer palace – Sanssouci Palace, Schloss Cecilienhof where the Potsdam Declaration was signed after WWII, and Berlin’s Museum Island, including the Pergamon Museum famed for its ancient Greek temple ruins.

In terms of transportation, the plan includes ICE high-speed trains, a ride on Germany’s mountain railway to the Zugspitze peak, bus + horse-drawn carriage tours around Neuschwanstein Castle, and an in-depth Rhine River cruise. These offer tourists a more diverse and enriching travel experience. Most accommodations are located in old towns or next to attractions, giving travelers ample time to feel and imagine being in the time tunnel of hundreds of years of European history. Amidst the cultural shock, you’ll also have more time to stroll and visit nearby historic landmarks and leisurely enjoy a rare and precious vacation.

By joining the specially designated tours on July 1, July 8, or July 15, participants will receive a €100 shopping voucher for use in Germany.
