Romantic Germany Trips & Honeymoon Packages
The Rhine river cruises hit just the right note for couples, with cozy cabins and romantic stops at medieval towns and castles along the way. Our Christmas Market cruises from Düsseldorf are especially popular - couples love sharing glühwein while exploring the beautifully lit markets in Koblenz, Rüdesheim and also Cologne. Active pairs really enjoy cycling the Moselle wine route, with easy rides past steep vineyard slopes and traditional villages, plus lots of chances to taste wines together in historic cellars. The guided Bavaria walks combine hiking through great scenery with stays in lovely guesthouses, so couples can take things at their own speed between cultural sites and nature spots.

What people love about Germany Tours for Couples
- Family Club - The Romantic Rhine Valley and the Rock of Lorelei (port-to-port cruise)
This was our first time and overall we enjoyed the exparience. However, we felt everything was too organised. The food was beautifully cooked and presented but there was just too much at each meal. There was no choice of main course and not enough green vegetables and salads.
- Germany´s Best (13 destinations)
The tour covered a lot of places within Germany..superb tour!!!
What our customers ask about Romantic Germany Trips & Honeymoon Packages
What are the best seasonal experiences for couples in Germany?
Germany offers something special for couples in every season. In summer, you can take relaxing river cruises on the Rhine or eat outside at charming wineries in Rüdesheim when it's around 75°F (24°C). Winter is perfect for cozying up together - cities like Dresden and Nuremberg come alive with Christmas markets when temperatures are near 32°F (0°C). Spring brings colorful gardens in Baden-Baden and throughout the Black Forest. Many travelers tell us autumn is their favorite time for a couples' trip - you can join wine harvest festivals and see the Black Forest's trees turn golden and red.
What are the most scenic train trips for couples in Germany?
The train ride through the Black Forest from Offenburg to Konstanz takes you through thick forests and mountain passes. Between Mainz and Koblenz, you'll see castles and vineyards along the Rhine River right outside your window. If you take the train from Koblenz to Trier, you'll pass through small wine villages along the Moselle River. Many travelers especially like the route from Dresden to Meissen - it follows the Elbe River through Saxon wine country and stops at historic spots like Moritzburg Castle.
What are the most romantic day trips from major German cities?
From Berlin, you can visit the beautiful Sanssouci Palace and gardens in Potsdam. If you're staying in Munich at the Leonardo Munich Olimpiapark, take a day to see the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle. Frankfurt makes a good base to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a medieval town with charming old buildings and a year-round Christmas museum. Travelers often tell us they love taking day trips from Cologne to the Rhine Valley - you can stay at the Leonardo Hotel Cologne and spend your days visiting castles and tasting local wines.
Which German cities offer the best mix of history and romance for couples?
Heidelberg is perfect for couples - it has a beautiful castle on a hill overlooking the Neckar River. Dresden combines rebuilt baroque buildings with nice spots along the Elbe River. Rothenburg ob der Tauber looks like it's straight from a storybook with its old medieval center. You can stay at modern places like the Vienna House Andel's Berlin while exploring nearby historical sites. As one traveler put it, "the combination of dreamy romanticism and splendid location makes Heidelberg perfect for couples."
What are the best wine tasting experiences for couples in Germany?
The Moselle and Rhine Valley regions are great for wine lovers, especially around the towns of Rüdesheim and Cochem. You can try wines in amazing old places like the Eberbach Monastery from the 1200s, visit local vineyards, and warm up with special Rüdesheimer coffee in wine towns. Many couples stay on the MS L'Europe and enjoy dinners where each course comes with a different local wine. Travelers often mention loving "the enchanting guided tours along the famed Alsace Wine Route."
What are the best hotels for couples on German tours?
For a romantic stay, try the Crowne Plaza Frankfurt Congress with its city views, the historic Steigenberger Hotel in old town Cologne, or the cozy Hofgut Sternen in the Black Forest. The NH Collection in Nuremberg and Holiday Inn Munich City Centre are both in perfect spots for evening walks together. Our travelers often mention how much they love "the romantic atmosphere of the Black Forest hotels" and "the elegant rooms with city views in Berlin's Catalonia Berlin Mitte."
