Castles in Waltz Time

This nine-day arc through Germany and Austria follows one of Europe's great cultural corridors — from the red-roofed university town of Heidelberg, along the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, through Munich, and finally into Salzburg, where Mozart was born and The Sound of Music was filmed on nearly every corner. The shape of the tour is deliberately unhurried: two nights in Munich, a pause in the Alpine resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and two full nights in Salzburg give your group time to absorb each place rather than just photograph it from a motorcoach window.
