What’s included
Itinerary
Our fantastic alpine holiday begins as we meet our fellow travellers and Tour Manager at London St Pancras to join the Eurostar service to Brussels in Standard Premier Class, enjoying a light meal at our seats. From the Belgian capital, we travel to Cologne and onwards through Germany to Munich in First Class.
The route passes through rolling wooded hills on its way to Frankfurt before heading through the old Swabian towns of Ulm and Augsburg before arriving in the Bavarian capital of Munich tonight. Located within sight of the Alps, Munich is one of Germany's best-loved cities and blends historic architecture and vibrant culture. Our 4-Star hotel is just a short distance from the main train station and after check-in, we can look forward to exploring this intriguing city in the morning.
