Best of Germany, Austria & Switzerland in 14 Days

Your two-week journey through Germany, Austria and Switzerland begins along the scenic Mosel River in Germany's oldest city, Trier. You'll see all the biggies — sophisticated Munich, fairy-tale Neuschwanstein, Baroque Salzburg and stately Vienna; the best 'back door' towns — relaxing Baden-Baden, cliff-top Mürren and beautiful lakeside Hallstatt; and breathtaking Alpine scenery along the way.
