Cities of the former GDR
GERMANY
This rail touring holiday allows you to explore the former cities of the German Democratic Republic including stays in Berlin, Dresden and Weimar. This holiday provides an insight into this disturbing era in Germany’ s history. Berlin resounds with historical significance and is rich in museums, and its momentous events are ever-present from the socialist architecture of Alexanderplatz to Checkpoint Charlie, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Holocaust memorial. Dresden is a haven for art and culture lovers with its restructured Old Town. A highlight is the Zwinger Palace, inspired by Versailles, and housing old masters and porcelain. Enjoy Leipzig’ s preserved GDR-era architecture and its famous opera. Weimar was a cultural hub and home at one time to Goethe, as well as being the centre of the Bauhaus movement. Finish your holiday in Erfurt, a medieval gem, home to the longest medieval bridge in Europe, a cathedral and a Baroque fortress. Travel all the way by train.
