If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
1. The Frauenkirche in Dresden is quite overwhelming in its beauty and atmosphere.
2. I hadn't realised the importance of the Evangelisch church in supporting the "peaceful revolution" in 1989.
3. Most of the information at the Stasi museum is in German, despite an English audioguide.
4. Personal highlight for me was to be told by 2 people on my first day that my German is accentless!
The combination of the three towns was excellent as they all had quite different things to offer. The '2 hour' walks generally took us about a day and a half because there were so many museums and other things of interest to pick up on en route. The Berlin and Leipzig vouchers and the Dresden museum card were great. One highlight was a concert at the Konzerthaus in Berlin. We spotted this on the internet but couldn't book it till we arrived in Berlin to take advantage of the Berlin card. It was good to have been advised to book the Reichstag Dome in advance - this was a highlight. The other highlights that we found but were not mentioned by you were the three Asisi Panoramas. The first one was at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, the second was near Checkpoint Charlie and showed how it was when the wall existed. The third was in Dresden, a bit out of the centre, and showed how the town looked as a result of the bombing. All these were fantastic and well worth recommending.
Enjoyed all 3 cities. We pre-booked operas in Leipzig and Dresden which were very enjoyable. We also enjoyed a visit to the Reichstag in Berlin, free but you need to pre-book online. Hotels were all very good and we enjoyed meals at both the Berlin hotel and the Leipzig hotel. Walking tours were very good and we enjoyed a sunny Sunday walk along the canal in Leipzig. We added an extra night in both Berlin and Leipzig.

All three cities were very interesting and quite different. We stayed for 3 nights in Berlin and could easily have filled another day as there is masses to see. The guided tour (in English) of the Reichstag is well worth doing and a highlight, but you do have to book it sometime ahead. The walking tours were all great taking us to the main sites and providing a history of each place.
The Hotel Honigmond was delightful and our favourite hotel. Whilst there we ate at the resturants Alpenstueck, Petrarca and Das Lokal, all very close and very good, particularly Das Lokal. All required booking and the hotel was very helpful here.
Leipzig was particularly charming and our favourite city. In Leipzig we can recommend the Restaurant Weinstock and The Letterman. In Dresden, the Alte Meister.
Another fantastic trip with Inntravel. I had visited Berlin previously but enjoyed revisiting with the very informative walking notes.Highlights in Berlin were the Palace of Tears, the East Side Gallery (we used Berlin card to take the train here) and the Reichstag which I had booked before we left. We loved Leipzig with all its old passageways, the background of the peaceful revolution and we travelled out to the Völkerschlachtdenkmal which was amazing. We had hoped to travel to Colditz from Leipzig but the bus/train service at the weekend meant this was not logisticallly feasible. The Zwinger and Frauenkirche were the highlights in Dresden. Our holiday coincided with record temperatures so we thoroughly enjoyed our paddle steamer trip on the Elbe.
Hotels were all excellent with the Honigmond in Berlin my particular favourite.
A fantastic holiday. We stayed an extra night in each of Berlin and Leipzig which we would recommend as there is so much to see in and around both of these cities. Particular highlights were:
In Berlin, the Tränenpalast exhibition, the SS museum and the Holocaust memorials as well as the amazing Panorama of Pergamon (associated with the Pergamon Museum but at a separate site near to, but not on, the Museum Island).
In Leipzig, the Stasi Musem which has an absorbing, very informative, English language audio-guide, and the 2 hour English-language tour at Colditz (book in advance). Travel to Colditz: suggest allow time to get help at DBahn travel centre to buy the combined train/bus ticket. We changed from the train to the 619 bus at Grimma, rather than at Grosbothen per the holiday notes. When we travelled (July 2019): at weekends the bus was using stop 3, one of the group of stops by the station building; on weekdays it was using stop 6, which is about 50 metres further away, on the road. In Colditz, the bus doesn't seem to stop at Sportplatz any more, but the stop at Leipzigerstrasse or the next stop at the disused train station, where the route terminates, are both fine.
In Dresden, all the incredible buildings restored after the WW2 destruction, particularly the Frauenkirche.
We had particulaly good meals at the Syrian Cafe ('Yarok') and the 'Schnitzele' (good for Germas tapas) near the hotel in Berlin; at 'Barcelona', a Spanish tapas restaurant with a large courtyard, in Leipzig (Google or ask at the hotel for directions); and at 'L'art de Vie' (good food, plus they include a locally-produced wine in their wine list) near the hotel in Dresden. All are good for vegetarians.
