Castles and Palaces of Germany – package tour

Direct Flights offers fares from 6 Australian Cities

Tours of the 800-year-old Heidelberg Castle and the ornate Schwetzingen Palace will form part of a holiday package to Frankfurt, Germany, offered by Australian travel website, Direct Flights.

The package includes return flights to Frankfurt from six Australian cities with Singapore Airlines, a day-long castle tour and a five night hotel stay at the three-star Holiday Inn Express, which has free wi-fi and is just a 15-minute drive from Frankfurt Airport. The package is available for sale to November 17, 2014.

Home to many financial institutions, Frankfurt is the second most important commercial centre in Europe, (after London) and is often nicknamed ‘the smallest metropolis in the world’, with a population of just 691,600. The city features a skyline of futuristic skyscrapers as well as preserved medieval buildings, such as those that line historic Römer Square.

Ideal for lovers of history, architecture and scenery alike, the included Castle Tour will depart Frankfurt and travel to ‘fairytale fortress’, Heidelberg Castle, with its spectacular ruins, impressive views and historic artefacts, including a 219,000 litre wine barrel, believed to be the largest in the world. A walking tour of Heidelberg’s Old Town will then follow. The coach will then travel further south to Schwetzingen Palace, originally built for the art-loving Duke of Bavaria, with its majestic Rococo architecture, impressive gardens and gleaming marble statues. A drive along the famous German Wine Road back to Frankfurt will complete the tour.
