Rail holidays in Germany –

discover the heart of Europe

Few cities have experienced such fluctuating fortunes as those of the former East Germany, but it is this rich and multi-layered history that makes Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden such interesting places to discover. Each has now fully emerged from the cloak of the Iron Curtain, and is now more culturally enriching than ever. As our German rail holidays are self-guided, you can admire the cities’ well-known landmarks and hidden haunts at your own pace, assisted by our comprehensive route notes.
