A country full of contrasts, Germany provides a good destination for multi-subject tours.

The Rhineland-Palatinate, famed for its medieval castles, fortresses and Beethoven’s House, is also home to significant examples of German culture and enterprise such as the Imhoff Stollwerck Chocolate Museum, the internationally renowned Bayer Leverkusen football stadium, vineyards and the Rhine itself.

Cologne’s thriving media and commercial centre gives students the chance to test their language skills in modern German environments whilst the Christmas Markets allow groups to sample the sights and sounds of German tradition.

The capacity of Berlin to satisfy students of history, art, language and architecture is testimony to the capital city’s array of tour and study options.

Elsewhere there is Hamburg, ideal for exploring northern Germany; the fascinating Bavaria with its fairy-tale castles amongst modern theatres and art galleries; Stuttgart, home of Porsche and Mercedes.
