Germany, a country surrounded by myths about the best living conditions and delicious hot dogs. Which Russian would refuse to visit Germany? History connects us with this country. And tours to Germany provide an opportunity to see how developed the leading European power is, to touch German culture and explore its rich cultural heritage. To do this, it is worth visiting not only the German capital, but also other popular cities.
Echo of war
In the minds of every Russian person, Germany is associated primarily with 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 terrifying historical monuments have been preserved to remind the whole world of the horrors of fascism.
The traveler can choose a historical tour to Germany and drive through the most interesting monuments of the war. With your own eyes to see the powerful fortifications of the Reich, walk through the most famous and most protected positions of the German troops. Visit a whole network of underground defenses. See how well prepared in Germany for war and deep defense. This is a chance to understand that the Victory, in fact, is not only the result of competent command, but also a successful combination of circumstances, which became possible thanks to the heroism of the Red Army.
Places of genocide
Especially popular is the direction of the places in which the Nazis carried out mass genocide. The traveler is offered to go along the roads along which prisoners of German concentration camps traveled. 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 in which several hundred thousand people were exterminated, the smell of a diesel engine and an imitation of the start of a carbon monoxide injection system — all this changes the outlook on the world.
Historical Travel Reviews
After visiting such places, many are drawn to leave a review. Tourists cease to pay attention to minor flaws in service. Being under a strong emotional impression, they write that the tour struck them to the core. Nobody has yet said they regretted such a trip. It doesn't look like anything. This is a completely new experience. There are not many places in the world where you can experience the horror in the open.
From the Capital
For Russians, Moscow is a travel center. In this metropolis all possible directions converge. Several convenient airports, bus and railway stations make it possible to leave in any direction.
Tours to Germany from Moscow are performed on all modes of transport. So, traveling by bus may seem the most profitable, but it can be deceiving. Often such 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 allowing you to visit several European countries at once.
The most interesting thing is that even in other countries you can well see the objects of German history. What are the launching positions of the German FAU-2 missiles? Visiting the historical monuments of fascism, the tourist receives a comprehensive view 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 most suitable opportunity to study a little 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. It is worth paying attention to the fact that this is only an average value. The longest and most impressive tours are always much 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 subway ticket seems expensive.
Meals at restaurants in Berlin will cost as much as a banquet at the best restaurants in Moscow. Everything is so expensive here that even an ordinary shawarma called kebab costs about 30 euros!
In other words, if there is a desire 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 purpose, but at the same time I have fundamental differences in the details of the conduct:
- Travels. Most often, this option takes more than 14 days. Its characteristic feature is that the travel agency provides only a transfer at pre-agreed dates. Conditions are individually negotiated with the client. The tourist himself decides where to go, he is looking for affordable housing and pays all expenses for food. This option is the cheapest at the cost of the tour. However, the price does not include either accommodation or meals.
- Sightseeing tours to Germany. This option is rightly considered the most popular. A tourist puts all the worries on the shoulders of a travel agency. The main cultural and leisure program is agreed in advance. Tourists are taken directly from the hotel and transported to certain attractions. Of course, no one forbids to explore the city on their own, but after a long excursion program, it is unlikely that anyone will have the strength. All tours are comprehensive. This is a transfer, and food, and a guide who speaks a clear language. If necessary, even a translator is provided. Ideal for those who do not want to do anything other than 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 major 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 offers evening walks in the center of Prague. The general atmosphere of calm and friendliness eliminates any worries. Some travel agencies also offer significant discounts on organizing a romantic dinner in a Prague restaurant.
If this is not a romantic trip, then a tasting of Czech beer is in demand. Germany and the Czech Republic have excelled in brewing and snacks.
Romantic Travel Reviews
Basically, tourists positively evaluate such trips. The huge difference in living standards and quality of service leads to the fact that no one can find flaws in the Czech Republic or in Germany. Negative reviews mainly concern cheap hotels, as well as gay parades, which sometimes take place in Prague.
The fact that same-sex marriage is legalized in the Czech Republic worries some impressionable tourists. Basically, they recommend before traveling to find out how loyal they are in non-traditional relationships in the country.
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 a famous beer festival or Oktoberfest! Beer tours are inexpensive and do not last long.
For a couple of days, small walks are held in Berlin or Munich, the rest of the time is spent on tasting various sorts of beer and competitions, who will drink more. Yes, by and large it’s just an alcoholic trip to Europe.
Oktoberfest Reviews
It sounds a little ridiculous, but many complain that they did not have time to try all sorts of beer. Others even note that the taste of beer did not exceed their expectations. But, on the contrary, everyone enjoys the holiday atmosphere. This is an unusual and extremely enjoyable event, where you can make many new acquaintances.
Fastest By Air
Is there an opportunity, reducing the time of the road, to extend the rest itself? Well, of course! Tours to Germany with air travel solve this problem. Aeroflot and Lufthansa aircraft will arrive in Berlin from the Central Federal District of Russia in just 1.5 hours. In fact, you can fly by plane from any airport. However, if the distance is too large, you will have to make a transplant in Moscow or St. Petersburg.
Russia is the largest country in the world. Therefore, in some cases, even a flight can take about 24 hours. Residents of the European part of Russia were more fortunate. The road 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, a soccer championship was held in Germany. It was a great sight. Tours to the German Championship in a short time gained popularity, which is not surprising, since Germany has traditionally very strong players. Almost every man wants to watch live matches.
Unfortunately, the championship has already passed and at the moment it is impossible to go on a tour. Have to wait a bit. Maybe a year, or maybe a few years.
How it was
Overview of the German Championship tour is quite simple. Depending on the program, it was possible to attend both individual matches and stay in the country all the time of the championship.
The tour included flight, transfer, hotel and meals. But the cost of a ticket for a match was not always included in the cost of the trip. The schedule was very busy. There was no time left for the excursion.
Travelers cheered for their favorite teams and drank beer in bulk with the Germans. Sometimes, however, fights occurred, but in this case, insurance covered the costs of treatment and damage to property. We can say that the fights were provided for by insurance.
Easy peasy
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 air travel to Berlin or any other German city are some of the most popular tourism destinations. Travel agencies offer many options with different pricing 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 the major cities of the country and visit several small settlements. Minimum problems and a lot of impressions! There is only one problem - it is very expensive.
