One country, several completely different holidays

Germany can be a city break, a castle road trip or a proper Alpine escape.

Choose one brilliant base or join several regions together. Berlin delivers history and nightlife, the Rhine brings storybook towns and vineyards, while Bavaria, the Black Forest and the Baltic coast reward a slower journey.

Begin with a beautiful idea

Two German escapes worth building a trip around.

Start with the kind of holiday you fancy, then choose dates, accommodation and extras. A destination-wide search keeps the idea alive even when one particular hotel is full.

Choose your trip style

Four easy ways to make Germany yours.

Germany changes completely from region to region and season to season. Pick one shape that suits your time and budget, or use it as the beginning of a much longer European journey.

01 / CITY

A Berlin mini break

Join landmark history, creative neighbourhoods, galleries, markets and memorable evenings without needing a car.

See price examples →
02 / RHINE

A castle and vineyard road trip

Link Cologne, Koblenz, Cochem, the Rhine Gorge and Heidelberg through riverside scenery and old towns.

See the route idea →
03 / ALPS

A Bavarian mountain escape

Use Munich as the gateway to bright lakes, palace gardens, Alpine villages and spectacular mountain roads.

Build the trip →
04 / WINTER

A Christmas market journey

Choose Cologne, Nuremberg, Dresden or Munich, then combine festive squares with an easy rail connection.

Look what can be possible

Could a seven-night Germany break really start from around £329pp?

Yes. Germany holiday searches were showing seven-night options from around this level when checked. Treat these as useful inspiration rather than a fixed promise, then compare your own dates and departure airport for the live total.

History-rich city break

Berlin

£329 pp from example

A rail-first alternative

London to Brussels was showing from £39 one way, with Brussels to Cologne from £16.50

These were separate lowest-fare examples for selected trains, not a guaranteed combined London-to-Cologne fare. Check the full through journey, connection time and ticket conditions live, then add a Cologne stay or continue along the Rhine.

Prices, dates, departure points, luggage, transfers, local taxes and availability can change, so always confirm the live total and exactly what is included before booking.

Turn the idea into a booking

Book the whole holiday, or build it your way.

Choose a flight-and-hotel option for simplicity, or compare each part separately when rail travel, a Christmas market hop or a multi-region road trip gives you a better holiday.

Find the right base

Compare places to stay across Germany.

Use the live map to move between cities and regions rather than relying on one property. If a hotel is full, widen the search to nearby neighbourhoods, towns or the next stop on your route.
