Saturday 28 December | Arrival & Memmingen
We meet at the airport at 6.30am for our KM Malta Airlines flight to Munich airport departing at 9.00 am. On arrival at 11:30 am, our coach takes us to our 4* Drexel`s Parkhotel in Memmingen, in Germany. After check-in, we can join our tour leader for a familiarization walk. The origins of Memmingen go back to the Roman Empire; the old town with its many courtyards, castles and fortifications is one of the best preserved in Southern Germany.
Sunday 29 December | Neuschwanstein Castle & Fussen
Our first optional full-day excursion will take us deep south of the Romantic Road to visit Neuschwanstein Castle. On the way we will admire the Bavarian Alps framed by the impressive high mountain peaks and picturesque landscapes. Neuschwanstein Castle (entrance and shuttle bus extra), one of King Ludwig II’s most extraordinary fantasies, is nestled on top of a rugged hill high above the village of Hohenschwangau. The local guide will take us around various chambers and halls of this 18th century castle. The stunning fairy-tale castle was the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and its one of the most popular of all castles in Europe. After the castle’s impressive visit, we drive towards to nearby Fussen, the southernmost town on the Romantic Road located on the River Lech.
Monday 30th December | Augsburg & Landsberg am Lech
We board the coach for another full-day optional excursion which takes us to two localities on the Romantic Road heading first to Augsburg. This town is one of the oldest and most historically significant towns in Germany. We see some of the most popular attractions such as the Augsburger Rathaus (city hall), the 11th century Roman Catholic Cathedral and the world’s oldest housing complex, the Fuggerei (extra) named after an old trading family. In the 14th century, this family made Augsburg their banking empire. Some free time is given to spend at your leisure for personal sightseeing and shopping. Our next Romantic Road Town will be Landsberg am Lech with cobbled streets and rows of pastel-coloured buildings. The old town is dominated by the 15th century Basilica, famous for the Madonna and Child sculpture and its gothic stained glass.
Tuesday 31st December | Ulm & Biberach
Today`s optional full-day excursion takes us first to Ulm, birthplace of Albert Einstein. This town boasts a variety of historical attractions, such as the town hall and the tallest church steeple in the world and also being the most dominant building. The Munster Platz square is an endlessly fascinating place that offers a great mix of history and architecture. Time for personal sightseeing and shopping. In the afternoon we head towards Biberach, a city speed in history that dates back centuries. It has a very well-preserved old part of the town filled with interesting stores and shops. Rest of the evening will be free to enjoy New Year`s Eve.
Wednesday 1st January | Bregenz
Today we start off the New Year with a relaxing morning followed by a half-day optional excursion to Bregenz in Austria to go up the Pfander Mountain (extra) close to Lake Constance. With its views over the lake and the surrounding Austrian, Swiss mountain peaks, the foothills of the Black Forest and the Rhine Valley, the Pfander is one of the most famous lookout points of the region.
Thursday 2nd January | Munich & Departure
After breakfast and check-out from the hotel, we will board the coach and head towards Munich, Bavaria’s capital city. We visit Marienplatz with its world famous “chiming glockenspiel” with its near life-sized figurines turn and move when the clock chimes, and the Frauenkirche – Munich’s historic twin towered cathedral. We have time for some shopping and lunch (extra), possibly at the world-famous Bavarian halls in one of the typical beer gardens such as the Hofbrauhaus. In the afternoon we proceed to Munich Airport for our KM Malta Airlines flight departing at 7.00pm and arriving in Malta at 9.20pm.
