Explore the beauty of Germany

It’s little wonder that cruises down the Rhine and Moselle Valleys are one of our most popular coach holidays. With vineyards and castles dotted along the landscape and with the medieval towns of Koblenz and pretty Ruddesheim clinging to its riverbank, the Rhine is a region of outstanding natural beauty.

A cruise down the Moselle Valley is equally as enthralling and is an experience you won’t forget as you meander gently through sloping meadows and quaint villages. The magnificent fairytale castle which towers the hillsides at Cochem dominates the landscape while medieval Andernach is a beautiful town and home to the world's highest cold water geyser.

For a true fairytale adventure take a National Holidays coach tour to the Harz Mountains. See the original Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Sababurg, visit the setting of Hansel and Gretal in Haxter or waltz through the streets of Hamlyn like the Pied Piper.

Meanwhile Cologne offers a rich blend of history and modernity, and with its striking gothic cathedral and location on the Rhine, is perhaps unsurprisingly regarded as the country’s prettiest city while Berlin, Dresden and Colditz offer a moving insight into the country’s recent history as well as some of the finest architecture, museums and monuments in Europe.
