Paris, the Alps and Germany

Journey from French elegance to Alpine majesty and Bavarian charm. Begin in Paris amid world-class art and iconic monuments, then ascend to Switzerland's lakeside jewel of Lucerne. Continue through Germany's historic soul to Munich's grand squares and beyond to Mozart's magical Salzburg, where music seems to flow from the very mountains.
