Visit the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, drive along Unter den Linden Boulevard, pass the State Opera House and Checkpoint Charlie.

Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church
Standing in the very centre of Berlin and dominating the scene as you look down the Ku'damm, it was originally built in 1891/95 in honour of the Emperor, William 1st. The church was destroyed by Allied bombing on the 3rd November 1943. The rebuilt church itself is glazed with blue glass blocks which are not apparent from the outside, but from the inside they are extremely beautiful as the sunlight streams through.

Thomaskirche
The Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) is a Lutheran church in Leipzig, Germany. It is most famous as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as a cantor.

St. Sebald Church
St. Sebald Church is a medieval church in Nuremberg, Germany. The church was painstakingly reconstructed as a monument to peace from the rubble of near-total wartime destruction.

Germany's Romantic Road
A trade route during the Middle Ages, Germany's Romantic Road still retains much of its medieval character. The road often winds through forgotten sections of countryside, connecting walled towns and picturesque villages. Fairytale castles and the Alps complete the charm.

Passion Play
The tradition of the world-famous Oberammergau Passion Play began with a vow during the Thirty Years' War. While the Swedes were invading, Bavaria was also being swept by a devastating plague which claimed more than 80 lives in Oberammergau alone. In the hope of securing God's help, the village elders vowed in 1633 to "perform the Passion tragedy every ten years" if the village were purged of the plague.

It is the unique performance continuity over more than three centuries that has made the Oberammergau Passion Play the greatest and best known in the world.

Black Forest
The Black Forest region is essentially known for three distinctive features: its highlands, scenery and woods, the typical Black Forest Gateau whose success is based on tasty cherry schnapps and the traditional cuckoo-clock.

Heidelberg Castle
The Heidelberg Castle is a famous ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. History, architecture, and its unique and astoundingly beautiful position above the city, have all contributed into making Heidelberg Castle one of the most well known historical buildings in the region.
