The port town of Breisach is situated along the Rhine, mid-way between the picturesque towns of Colmar and Freiburg and 60km distance from Basel. The town's most iconic landmark is the St Stephanmunster on Munsterberg hill, which has a Romanesque-Gothic style and dates back to the 12th century. The town has pastel-hued buildings and cobbled streets which replicate the old-world charm of the town.

The stunning city’s cuisine and architecture is a perfect fusion of both country’s traditions and culture. Get lost in the rich history and beauty of Cathedral Notre-Dame, or walk through the cobbled streets of Strasbourg’s old town and get lost in the fairy tale setting. Explore the stunning Petite France and admire the magnificent half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

Speyer sits alongside the picturesque waters of the River Rhine and is one of Germany's oldest cities. The town centre is jam-packed with fascinating buildings such as Old City Gate, Trinity Church, Memorial Church, St Joseph's Church, and the City Hall. No visit here would be complete without visiting the UNESCO-listed Kaiserdom Romanesque cathedral. Trace Jewish history at the Judenhof; comprising the ruins of the medieval synagogue, Jewish ritual bath, and SchPIRA Museum. Admire the fish-inspired statue in the fountain at the Fish Market or get up close to the live marine life at Sea Life Speyer. Enjoy the trains, aircraft, cars, motorcycles, fire engines, and ships at Technik Museum Speyer or discover a unique film-viewing experience at the IMAX Dome.

Koblenz, Germany
The ancient city of Koblenz is located in central Germany and is the gateway to the castles and vineyards of the Rhine Gorge. The statue of William the Great in the centre of the city marks the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Ride the cable car to the hilltop Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Visit Forum Confluences - home to Mittelrhein Museum and the interactive attraction Romanticum. Meander through the Rhine Gardens to admire the Electoral Palace, Pfaffendorf Bridge, the historic Weindorf, the Gardens of Empress Augusta, and the Father Rhine and Mother Mosel statue. On the outskirts of the city, explore Stolzenfels Castle and its surrounding gardens.

Cologne, Germany
Founded by the Romans, Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities. Stroll around the historic monuments and picturesque squares in the old town; climb to the top of the World Heritage listed Cologne Cathedral; or ascend the Cologne Telecommunication Tower for city-wide views. Admire an extensive collection of Picasso works at Museum Ludwig and explore all things chocolate-related at Imhoff-Schokoladenmuseum (Chocolate Museum). Take a leisurely cruise on the Rhine or shop for bargains in the Belgian Quarter. Get close to wildlife at Cologne Zoological Garden, then take a trip out of the city to enjoy the thrilling rides at Phantasialand!
7
Kinderdijk, Netherlands
The UNESCO World Heritage village of Kinderdijk sits on the River Noord between Rotterdam and Dordrecht and is famous for its iconic 18th-century windmills. The ingenious water management system in Kinderdijk encompasses nineteen windmills, three pumping stations and countless dykes and reservoirs, all of which work together to prevent flooding in the surrounding low-lying land (polder). The 17th-century Windmill 2 in the Nederwaard is open to visitors and there is also a Visitors' Centre at the Wisboom Pumping Station. The best way to explore this amazing place is by bike or on foot along the trails that crisscross the area or on one of the boat tours on the canal.
