Setting sail from Frankfurt
Frankfurt is the financial heart of Germany, a forest of silver skyscrapers that's home to both the German and European Central Banks. This focus on commerce has led some to dismiss the city as a dull, soulless sort of place, but in fact Frankfurt buzzes with a real cultural vibrancy; don't miss the Städel Museum, home to works by the likes of Picasso and Rembrandt, or the excellent MMK Museum of Modern Art. Frankfurt is also great fun after dark, and we recommend sampling the lively restaurants and Apfelwein bars of Sachsenhausen.
Our tip
If you’re into art and funky style, schedule a couple of days here. Otherwise, don't...
25-26 July
Germany: Cochem
One of the prettiest towns in the Moselle valley, Cochem is a popular stop for river cruise ships. With an old town full of half-timbered houses and a castle perched on a hill it’s a quintessentially German scene, and the riverside promenade is lovely during the sunny summer months.
27 July
Germany: Trier
Trier is Germany’s oldest city, founded by the Romans around 16 BC and home to no less than nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Highlights include the Cathedral of St Peter, the Church of Our Lady and countless Roman ruins, and Trier was also the birthplace of Karl Marx, whose childhood home is now a museum.
28 July
Germany: Bernkastel
The pretty town of Bernkastel lies in the heart of the Moselle wine region, and is known for its excellent dry whites based on the Riesling grape. The picturesque half-timbered houses of the old town date back to the Middle Ages, and there are plenty of wine taverns where you can enjoy a glass or two.
29 July
Germany: Boppard
Boppard is one of the most attractive towns on the Rhine, situated on a horseshoe bend with a lovely riverside promenade. Take the chairlift up to the Vierseenblick for fantastic views, go hiking in the woods or explore the pretty streets and handsome architecture of the town itself.
30 July
Germany: Rüdesheim
The pretty little town of Rüdesheim, situated on a bend in the Rhine surrounded by vineyards, is a popular destination for travellers looking for a slice of quintessentially German village life. The Drosselgasse, a narrow cobbled lane flanked by old timber frame buildings, is particularly atmospheric.
31 July
Germany: Speyer
Hugging the river Rhine to the south of Frankfurt, the pleasant little town of Speyer has a long and distinguished history. This was one of the Holy Roman Empire’s most important cities, as evidenced by the beautiful Romanesque cathedral, and is also home to a delightful Christmas market during the winter months.
1 August
Germany: Baden-Baden
The famous spa town of Baden-Baden has been attracting the great and the good for some 2,000 years, with everyone from Otto von Bismarck to Barack Obama taking the waters here. Even if thermal baths aren’t your thing, you’re sure to be enchanted by the beautiful architecture and the storybook setting next to the Black Forest.
