Germany, a country surrounded by myths about better living conditions and delicious hot dogs. What Russian would refuse to visit Germany? We are connected with this country by history. And tours to Germany provide an opportunity to see how developed the leading European power is, to touch German culture and study its richest cultural heritage. To do this, it is worth visiting not only the German capital, but also other popular cities.
Echoes of war
In the minds of every Russian person, Germany is associated, first of all, with the war. After the victory over fascism, the Germans tried to do everything to correct the mistakes. And numerous monuments will tell about the events of those years. The most horrific monuments of history have been preserved to remind the whole world of the horrors of fascism.
A traveler can choose a historical tour to Germany and drive through the most interesting monuments of the war. See with your own eyes the powerful fortificationsbuildings of the Reich, walk through the most famous and most protected positions of the German troops. Visit a whole network of underground defensive structures. See how well Germany prepared for war and defense in depth. This is a chance to understand that Victory, in fact, is not only the result of competent command, but also a lucky coincidence, which became possible thanks to the heroism of the Red Army.
Genocide sites
The direction to the places where the Nazis carried out mass genocide is especially popular. The traveler is offered to go along the roads along which the prisoners of the German concentration camps moved. According to reviews, the heavy atmosphere of those places and the invisible spirit of death haunts everyone who dares to inspect from the barracks.
Such tours to Germany are of the greatest historical value and, according to travelers, help to understand a lot. A visit to a gas chamber where several hundred thousand people were exterminated, the smell of diesel, and a simulated launch of a carbon monoxide injection system all change the way you look at the world.
Reviews of historical trips
After visiting such places, many are drawn to leave a review. Tourists stop paying attention to minor flaws in service. Being under a state of strong emotional impression, they write that the tour struck them to the core. No one has yet said that they regretted such a trip. It doesn't look like anything. These are completely new experiences. There are not many places in the world where you can experience horror in the open air.
FromCapitals
For Russians, Moscow is the center of travel. In this metropolis, all possible directions converge. Several convenient airports, bus stations and railway stations make it possible to leave in any direction.
Tours to Germany from Moscow are made on all modes of transport. So, traveling by bus may seem the most profitable, but it can be deceiving. Often these travel programs are much more expensive.
The fact is that travel agencies offer to visit not only Germany, but also France, Switzerland, Austria, Poland and the provincial towns of Germany. These are long, complex trips that allow you to visit several European countries at once.
The most interesting thing is that even in other countries you can see the objects of German history well. What are the launch positions of German V-2 missiles. Visiting the monuments of the history of fascism, the tourist gets a comprehensive idea of the war and the role of Germany in it.
Bus tours will show how the Germans fortified the captured cities. But no one will refuse to visit other famous European sights that are not related to the time of the war. In other words, tours to Germany from Moscow by bus are the best opportunity to learn a bit of history and visit several EU countries.
Average cost
The average cost of a tour to Germany, including travel and transfer costs, will be about 50,000 rubles. Please note that this is only an average value. The longest and most impressive tours are always worthmuch more expensive.
If the tour is carried out through an agency, then most likely the hotel will provide three meals a day and some service. However, do not forget that in the European powers, especially in France and Germany, very expensive products. And for citizens of the CIS, judging by the reviews, even a metro ticket will seem expensive.
Food in Berlin restaurants will cost as much as a banquet in the best restaurants in Moscow. Everything here is so expensive that even the usual shawarma, called kebab, costs about 30 euros!
In other words, if you want to live not in the most expensive hotel and go shopping and cafes, then the real cost of the tour will be more than 150,000 rubles.
Tours are different
There are 2 types of tours to Germany. They differ little in goals, but at the same time they have fundamental differences in the details of their conduct:
- Travel. Most often, this option takes more than 14 days. Its characteristic feature is that the travel agency provides only a transfer on pre-agreed dates. Conditions are individually negotiated with the client. The tourist himself decides where to go, he himself is looking for affordable housing and pays all food expenses. This option is the cheapest in terms of tour cost. However, the price does not include accommodation or meals.
- Excursion tours to Germany. This option is rightly considered the most popular. The tourist shifts all the worries onto the shoulders of the travel agency. The main cultural and leisure program is agreed in advance. Tourists are picked up directly from the hotel and transporteddesignated attractions. Of course, no one forbids you to explore the city on your own, but after a long excursion program, hardly anyone will have strength left. All excursions are complex. This is a transfer, and meals, and a guide who speaks an understandable language. If necessary, even an interpreter is provided. Perfect for those who don't want to do anything but relax.
Romantic adventure
Many people travel for romantic purposes. For such, almost all travel agencies offer a tour of the Czech Republic - Germany. Very often even with a visit to France, namely Paris.
The price includes the trip itself, all transfer services, meals, accommodation and visits to the main attractions. When ordering special romantic offers, the vector of visiting attractions is slightly shifted.
Monuments dedicated to the common history fade into the background. In their place are installations dedicated to love and romance. So, the incredibly pleasant Czech Republic is conducive to evening walks in the center of Prague. The general atmosphere of calmness and friendliness eliminates any worries. Some travel agencies also offer significant discounts for organizing a romantic dinner in a Prague restaurant.
If it's not a romantic getaway, Czech beer tasting is in demand. Germany and the Czech Republic have made significant progress in brewing and snacking.
Reviews of romantic trips
Basically,tourists positively evaluate such trips. The huge difference in the standard of living and the quality of service leads to the fact that no one can find faults in the Czech Republic or in Germany. Negative reviews are mainly about cheap hotels, as well as gay parades that sometimes take place in Prague.
The fact that same-sex marriage is legal in the Czech Republic alarms some impressionable tourists. Basically, they recommend finding out before the trip how loyal the country is to non-traditional relationships.
If the soul asks for beer
There are many national holidays in Germany, but there is one that is most famous. Of course, this is the famous beer festival or Oktoberfest! Beer tours are inexpensive and don't last long.
For a couple of days, short walks around Berlin or Munich are held, the rest of the time is spent tasting various beers and competing to see who drinks the most. Yes, by and large it's just an alcoholic trip to Europe.
Oktoberfest reviews
It sounds a little funny, but many complain that they did not have time to try all the beers. Others even note that the taste of beer did not exceed their expectations. But, on the contrary, everyone likes the atmosphere of the holiday. This is an unusual and extremely pleasant event where you can make many new acquaintances.
Fastest by plane
Is it possible, by reducing travel time, to extendrelaxation? Well, of course! Tours to Germany with air travel solve this problem. Aeroflot and Lufthansa planes will take you to Berlin from the Central Federal District of Russia in just 1.5 hours. In fact, you can fly from any airport by plane. However, if the distance is too long, then you will have to make a transfer in Moscow or St. Petersburg.
Russia is the largest country in the world. Therefore, in some cases, even the flight can take about 24 hours. Residents of the European part of Russia were more fortunate. The journey will not take them more than 3 hours and will not require transfers, which in itself makes the ticket cheaper.
Straight to the championship
Recently, the football championship was held in Germany. It was a great sight. Tours to the German Championship have gained popularity in a short time, which is not surprising, since traditionally Germany has very strong football players. Almost every man wants to watch matches live.
Unfortunately, the championship has already passed and at the moment it is impossible to go to the tour. We'll have to wait a bit. Maybe a year, maybe several years.
How it was
Overview of the tour of the German Championship is quite simple. Depending on the program, it was possible to visit both individual matches and stay in the country for the entire duration of the championship.
The tour included flight, transfer, hotel and meals. But the cost of a ticket for the match was not always included in the cost of the trip. The schedule was very busy. There was no time for excursions.
Travelers were sickfor their favorite teams and massively drank beer with the Germans. Sometimes, however, there were fights, but in this case, the insurance covered the costs of treatment and damage to property. It can be said that the fights were covered by insurance.
Easier than pie
A resident of the Russian capital often does not understand how lucky he is. From this city you can fly to any country at any time and at any time, and at no additional cost.
Tours to Germany from Moscow with an air flight to Berlin or any other German city are one of the most popular tourism destinations. Travel agencies offer many options with different pricing policies and different conditions. If you wish, you can diversify the trip by breaking it into stages, because in order to understand the city, it is enough to spend only 3 days in it.
Today, travel agencies offer grand tours throughout Germany. In a month you will visit all major cities of the country and visit several small towns. A minimum of problems and a lot of impressions! There is only one problem - it is very expensive.
