Oktoberfest in Historic Germany (12 Days)

From medieval Old Towns to modern metropolises, discover a Germany that is history-conscious, but forward-looking. Begin in artsy, edgy Berlin, reunited Germany’s political and cultural capital. Stop at the historic Potsdam, then continue to dramatic Dresden, the “jewel box” of baroque and rococo architecture. Step back in time onto the medieval streets of Bamberg, before celebrating in Munich, where you’ll raise a stein of Bavarian beer at Oktoberfest.
