City Trip from Berlin to Prague
(RUBY63)
€2,350
You can follow in the footsteps of history on this trip along the Danube. With a full cultural program, the route starts in the German capital. At the next stops in Magdeburg and Wittenberg, there is plenty of sacred architecture to marvel at, particularly influenced by Martin Luther. Our ship takes you on to German cities with a long history, porcelain in Meissen and the Frauenkirche in Dresden. In the Czech Republic, you will have the opportunity to visit rustic wine cellars, but if you are longing for the sun, the breathtaking landscape will tempt you to take long walks. This impressive trip ends in Prague, the city that served as the inspiration for Hogwarts.

Berlin
Berlin is the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. Due to its great historical and contemporary significance, the city has many sights to offer. First of all, some well-known landmarks should probably be mentioned here: The Brandenburg Gate, the TV tower and the Victory Column. In addition, all important government buildings are also located here: for example, the Reichstag with the famous Reichstag dome is definitely worth a visit. Furthermore, there are the sites of some important historical events to see, such as "Checkpoint Charlie" or the "East Side Gallery", a remnant of the Berlin Wall. There is also no lack of shopping opportunities, so among other things the Kurfürstendamm is very well known.
Wusterwitz
Magdeburg
The city of Magdeburg on the Elbe is the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt. Among the prominent sights is the Gothic Cathedral of Magdeburg in the center. Next to it is the Hundertwasser House with the Green Citadel, in whose courtyard the typical architecture and colorful columns of the artist can be admired. The millennium tower, built of wood, is the highest wooden building in the world with a height of 60 meters and can be walked and climbed by visitors. Also worth seeing is the beautifully landscaped Elbauenpark.
Wittenberg
The city of Wittenberg offers you a deep insight into the history of the Reformation. There are a lot of Luther memorials and of course the castle church, where Luther posted his theses. A visit to the Luther House is also very interesting. Walk through the Piesteritzer Werkssiedlung, the first and largest car-free housing estate in Germany, or even through the Luther Garden..
Meissen
Meissen, the cradle of Saxony, lies on the northern edge of the Dresden Elbe Valley and spreads a breath of southern cheerfulness. The time-honored district town on the Elbe is a single stone window into history. German emperors founded here the first settlement on Slavic territory. Inseparably linked with the name of the city is its traditional porcelain manufactory founded in 1710 with the trademark of the "Blue Swords". Next to the city of Bautzen, Meissen has the best preserved city layout in Saxony. The visit to the city is oriented to history and porcelain.
Dresden
Dresden is the capital of Saxony and one of the largest cities in the state. After World War 2, the city on the Elbe was painstakingly rebuilt. The Dresden Frauenkirche is a symbol of the reconstruction, which lasted from the 1990s to 2005. Magnificent buildings from the 18th century adorn the city, such as the famous Semper Opera House or the Zwinger with its generously laid out garden. The Residence Palace is located directly in the old town, which invites you to stroll.
