In the process of planning your trip to Germany, one big question will come up sooner or later: how will I reach all the sights within a city in the most convenient way? To answer this question, here are some important information on German cities!

1. Some cities in Germany can be best discovered by foot! In many medieval cities, such as Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the old towns consist of small, cobblestone alleys and they cannot be reached by vehicles in general—make sure to bring good walking shoes!

2. Taxis are not very common in Germany. In larger cities most of the sights can easily be reached by the public transportation system (e. g. commuter rail)

3. Central Stations are usually close to the city center. If you travel through Germany by rail, you can reach many sights easy from the train station (either by foot or the public transportation system)

Book your tour with to-europe.com to make sure you will receive everything you need to get around cities in Germany in the most convenient way!

Travelling by train is an easy way to explore Central Europe. But there are some tips that make traveling by train even more convenient!

1. Pack light so it is easy to store your luggage on the train
It is advisable to take smaller luggage with you. It is easier to store on the train and to carry around at the train station.

2. Arrive at the train station at least 10 minutes before departure
If you arrive at the train station earlier you can make sure to find your platform.

3. Make sure your ticket is close at hand
If the conductor wants to see your ticket, this can be a stressful situation if you do not know where your put your ticket. With your ticket close at hand, you can avoid stress.

4. Know in which wagon you can find your reserved seats
If you know your wagon number, you can find out in which section of the platform your wagon will stop. This way you do not have to walk through the train looking for your seats.

Although summer is just around the corner, it is never too early to think about your next Christmas Market Tour through Central Europe!

The Christmas Market in Dresden opens its gates on November 27. To make sure you will be there this year when it smells like Glühwein (mulled wine), Bratwurst, and Lebkuchen (gingerbread) everywhere, book your Christmas Market Tour with to-europe now!

The Striezelmarkt at Alter Markt ("Old Market") in Dresden is said to be the oldest Christmas Market in Germany. It dates to the year 1434! Originally, it was a market where citizens could buy meat to stock up for Christmas.

Over the years, more and more traders joined the market. Today, more than half of the supplies sold there are locally made.

The word Striezel is another word for “Stollen”, a very traditional German dough good with raisins. So, the name-giver of Dresden’s famous Christmas Market is a (very tasty) baking good!

Today, our colleague is going to tell you what she did on her day trip to Grindelwald.

After a 36-minute train ride from Interlaken, I arrived in the glacier village of Grindelwald. Grindelwald is beautifully located between the Swiss Alps with views of the Icy Icons (Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau).

On my day trip there, I decided to take the gondola to Grindelwald First, 7112 ft. above sea level. It took me about 30 minutes to get there, and while sitting comfortably in the gondola, I could overlook Grindelwald Valley and admire the mountains surrounding it.
Grindelwald First is also called the Top of Adventure because there are many activities (such as the First Flyer) you can do if you are looking for an adventure.

But I felt more like hiking, so I took the hiking trail to the Bachalpsee (Lake Bachalp). The trail is quite wide, and therefore the lake is easy to reach. After one hour, I arrived there, and although it was not very warm, I could not resist dipping my feet into the crystal-clear water.

Afterwards my way back down to Grindelwald had started. I walked along the Blumenwanderweg (Flower Trail), which led me through a cow paddock (which is very common in Switzerland), and I even had to sidestep some cows! This trail is not a very easy walk, but if you do have a bit of experience, this one may be perfect for you.
My next interstation was Waldspitz. Here I had some drinks and something to eat before I continued the Blumenwanderweg to Bort.
The Blumenwanderweg from Grindelwald First via Bachalpsee and Waldspitz to Bort takes about 2:30h—but because of my stop at the Waldspitz, it took me just a little bit longer…

Although my hiking trail officially ended at Bort, I decided to continue my walk to Grindelwald. But there is also a gondola from Bort to Grindelwald, which is very convenient.

I arrived back in Interlaken in the evening with a lot of impressions from my day trip to Grindelwald!

Lucerne's landmark, which crosses the River Reuss diagonally, is the beautiful Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge).
Today, both sides of the bridge are covered with flowerpots and tourists hurrying around the bridge. But originally, the bridge was built in 1365 as a fortification to defend the city from attacks coming from the lake.

The Wasserturm (Water Tower) in the middle of the Kapellbrücke is said to be the most photographed landmark of Switzerland. But why is the Kapellbrücke with its Wasserturm this famous?

Not only is the Kapellbrücke Europe’s oldest wooden bridge: if you walk over the covered bridge and look up to the ceiling, you will see unique triangular wooden pictures, showing important scenes of Switzerland’s history.

In 1611, wealthy citizens of the town were asked to donate pictures, as the city itself did not have enough money to finance this project. Sadly, only 30 of the originally 158 pictures still exist today. Most of them were destroyed by a fire in 1993.

The Wasserturm was built in 1300. The bottom of the tower served as a dungeon for a long period of time. Can you imagine that this dungeon could only be accessed through a hole in the floor of the treasury right above it? This was to make sure prisoners could not escape.
However, the main function of the Wasserturm was to operate as a watch tower.

Today, the Wasserturm is closed to public. But, there is a souvenir shop right on the Kapellbrücke at the Wasserturm.
So, what are you waiting for?
