Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Frankfurt

   Germany

   

   Frankfurt’s port is a dynamic entry point to the heart of Germany, blending modern finance with rich history. Must-do experiences include savoring traditional dishes like Frankfurter Rippchen and exploring the bustling Kleinmarkthalle. The best season to visit is during the spring, when the city comes alive with festivals and outdoor markets.

3. Day 3

   Wertheim

   Germany

   

   Perched at the confluence of the Main and Tauber rivers beneath the romantic ruins of a 12th-century count's castle, Wertheim is one of Franconia's most perfectly preserved medieval towns — a place where timber-framed houses lean over cobbled market squares and where the bone-dry Silvaner poured from the distinctive Bocksbeutel bottle defines the regional table. Day trips to baroque Würzburg, the medieval perfection of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and the half-timbered town of Miltenberg complete the picture. September's wine harvest brings the Tauber Valley to its most golden.

5. Day 4

   Wurzburg

   Germany

   

   Würzburg, presiding over the Main River at the northern gateway of the Romantic Road, is Bavaria's most elegantly baroque city — its skyline commanded by the medieval Marienberg Fortress and its streets presided over by the magnificent Residenz, a UNESCO-listed princely palace whose frescoed Treppenhaus ceiling by Tiepolo is considered the largest fresco in the world. The surrounding Franconian wine country produces some of Germany's most distinctive Silvaner and Riesling, sold in the iconic bocksbeutel flask from cellars carved directly beneath the old city. Spring through autumn reveals the vine-clad hillsides in their most photogenic splendor; the historic Weinfest am Stein wine festival each September is a highlight of the Franconian calendar.

6. Day 5

   Kitzingen

   Germany

   

   Kitzingen in Germany is a quintessential European river port where centuries of history line the waterfront in architectural layers. Visitors should wander the cobblestone streets, sample regional cuisine paired with local wines, and soak in an atmosphere perfected over generations. The town is at its most inviting May through October, when the climate is at its most welcoming for outdoor exploration. Cruise lines including Uniworld River Cruises feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.

7. Day 5

   Schweinfurt

   Germany

   

   Schweinfurt is a Franconian river city on the Main, home to the outstanding Museum Georg Schafer collection of 19th-century German painting and surrounded by some of Germany's finest wine country. Must-dos include visiting the Caspar David Friedrich collection at the museum, sampling Franconian bratwurst with local Silvaner wine, and taking a day-trip to UNESCO-listed Bamberg. Visit May through October for the warmest weather and autumn wine harvest festivities.

8. Day 6

   Bamberg

   Germany

   

   Bamberg, the 'Franconian Rome,' is a UNESCO World Heritage city whose medieval old town — seven hills, four Romanesque-Gothic cathedral towers, and an Old Town Hall balanced impossibly on an island in the Regnitz River — survived World War II entirely intact, a miracle of preservation unique in Germany. The city is equally celebrated for its extraordinary smoked beer, Rauchbier, a speciality brewed in family-owned breweries for centuries and best tasted in the old quarter's atmospheric taverns beside a plate of smoked meats. Spring and early summer are ideal for the surrounding Franconian countryside in bloom. Nuremberg is forty minutes by rail.

9. Day 7

   Nuremberg

   Germany

   

   Nuremberg commands the imagination on two levels: as the glittering medieval city where Holy Roman Emperors held court, Albrecht Dürer was born, and craftsmen produced the first pocket watch — and as the site of the 20th century's darkest chapter, where Nazi rallies and subsequent war crimes trials left permanent marks on European history and conscience. The Kaiserburg castle crowning the hill above the perfectly preserved old town offers sweeping views of a cityscape that, despite wartime bombing, remains one of Germany's most beautiful. The Documentation Centre on the former Nazi Rally Grounds is essential, sobering history; the Christmas Market on the Hauptmarkt, held since 1628, is among Europe's finest. Visit May through October or December.
