Highway to Helles tour details

Here’s a summary of the amazing places you’ll visit on the Highway to Helles tour and just a sample of what awaits you…

Frühlingsfest Munich (Days 1, 2 & 3)

Your adventure starts in the beer tents of Springfest in Munich, Germany where you’ll raise beers & pretzels with over 1 million thirsty visitors. Often dubbed the “little sister of Oktoberfest”, the Frühlingsfest has a much more local crowd and hasn’t yet been discovered by tourists.

With 2 large beer tents (we take you to both of course), you’ll be feasting not just on Munich beer but delicious Bavarian food. And best of all, your 3-night stay is at our 5-star Le Meridien hotel located just a few minutes walking distance to the festival.

Nuremberg (Nürnberg), Germany (Days 4, 5 & 6)

With a large old-town sprinkled with medieval buildings and monuments, Nuremberg is home to a big variety of breweries, beer gardens and taverns. Locally known as Nürnberg, it is famous for it’s gingerbread, lebkuchen and beer, you will spend 3 nights feasting your way through a Bavarian smorgasbord of food and local brew.

Bamberg, Germany (Days 7 & 8)

Next up is Bamberg, one of Europe’s most beautiful, well-preserved cities and a UNESCO heritage listed highlight of this tour. Famous for its unique smoked beer (Rauchbier) which is hand-crafted by 2 breweries in Bamberg – the Schlenkerla (we’ll take you to it!) and Brauerei Spezial, ideally located right next to our hotel.

And just in case you’re still thirsty, there are over 60 breweries in the surrounding areas. Tempt your tastebuds in this town, you’ll never want to leave.

Frühlingsfest Stuttgart (Days 9 & 10)

Save the best for last, the biggest Springfest on the planet awaits you in Stuttgart. With 5 massive beer tents and an incredible alpine village, approx. 2.2 million thirsty people visit this event each year. And best of all? There are virtually no tourists, making the Stuttgart Frühlingsfest a real hidden gem.

With beer tent reservations included on both evenings, it’s the ultimate way to end the Highway to Helles tour. Prost!
