The beauty of Saxony and Bavaria
- Dresden
Dresden lies north of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), across the border with Germany. Originally, it was a fishing and trading settlement. Throughout the centuries, it became an important royal seat. Today, it is the capital city of the Federal State of Saxony. Dresden lies on the Elbe River, at the foot of the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory). Yet it is not only the breathtaking scenery that makes Dresden worth a visit. For its mainly baroque, historical part of the city, Dresden is called “Florence on the Elbe”.
- Nuremberg
Nuremberg is a lively metropolis with the refined spirit of the Middle Ages. At every step you will discover monuments to the city’s history of more than 950 years. We will show you round Nuremberg’s historical center where a large number of historical sights await you behind the city’s well-preserved walls with spires and ramparts - the church of the Virgin Mary with an astronomical clock, the churches of St. Lawrence and St. Sebald, central square with a Gothic fountain (Schöner Brunnen), etc. Shopping is another experience not to be missed. You will hardly find another city with so closely intertwined historical sights and shopping districts.
- Regensburg
„This beautiful city has two faces: one of stone and one of water. Yet, when you look the Danube in the eye, both faces become one.“ Regensburg, a city of historical buildings, towers and church buildings, will reveal itself to you in all its glory. You can admire its unique Stone Bridge - the oldest bridge in Germany built in the years 1135-1146. It became a model for many more bridges constructed all over Europe (London or Avignon) and most likely also for the Judith Bridge in Prague. Another interesting building is the Old City Hall with a tower from the 13th century and the Imperial Hall where the Perpetual Imperial Diet held its sessions. The city’s undisputed landmark is St. Peter’s Cathedral that represents one of the leading works of the Bavarian Gothic. If you look up at its spires, you will see kings riding on horses, foolish maidens or gargoyles with animal or human faces. Regensburg is an ideal place for curious minds, pleasure seekers, culture lovers and dreamers.
- Munich
We will visit the metropolis of Southern Germany, the City of Munich, situated at the foot of the Alps on the crystal clear mountain river Isar. The third-largest city in Germany is connected with many attributes - the beating heart of Bavarian economy or the capital of beer. The enjoyment of cultural and artistic activities can be sought in a broad variety of art galleries, museums, historical monuments and theaters. Since the very beginnings of Munich, the center of all events has been in Marienplatz that is dominated by the Gothic building of the Old City Hall and the Neo-Gothic building of the New City Hall whose façade is decorated with the statues of kings, princes, dukes, allegoric figures and outstanding personalities of Munich’s history. The unmistakable symbol of Munich is its Gothic church of the Virgin Mary with onion-shaped domes, dating from the 15th century. The building impresses with its two tall towers and provide a unique view of Munich and the nearby Alps. Munich’s shopping avenues offer countless shopping options. You can hardly miss Maximilianstraße that combines the luxury and charm of Munich. The well-known, splendid boulevard is lined with classy designer shops such as Gucci, Armani or Yves St. Laurent. The exclusive shopping street is worth visiting even if your budget is modest - simply take a walk and enjoy some window shopping.
