Strasbourg, France

Your riverboat arrives in Strasbourg, a jumping-off point for exploration of the Alsatian countryside.

Since World War II, Alsace has been part of France, but the locals think of themselves as "Alsatian" first and foremost.

Disembark your riverboat for a drive through Switzerland and Germany en route to Munich. Pause near Lake Constance for lunch as you please. You'll arrive at your chic hotel in Munich, not far from the historic Oktoberfest fairgrounds, in time to pop over and participate in the evening festivities, if you like. It might be a little rowdy because folks have been drinking all day, but if you decide to check out the scene, you'll find lots of happy people sporting lederhosen and dirndls in true Oktoberfest fashion, carnival rides and games, and plenty of Bavarian food, from bratwurst to glazed nuts and huge pretzels - not to mention local beers, of course. ...

Day
10

Munich, Germany

This morning get dressed up Bavarian style, in lederhosen or a dirndl, for a full Oktoberfest experience! There are "Oktoberfest" celebrations all over the world, but until you experience the festival in Munich, where the tradition began, you haven't really "done" Oktoberfest - a unique mix of beer consumption, Bavarian feasting, live brass bands, communal singing, and dancing. It all started in 1810 when a royal couple invited the citizens to their wedding festivities on the fields in front of the city. The event was so popular that it took on a life of its own. Today Munich's Oktoberfest is the largest festival in the world. Tauck has reserved seats for you in the center of the action, in one of the exclusive brewery tents for a three-course lunch, traditional Bavarian live music - including the Ein Prosit toasting song - and lots of fun. Word to the wise: the local breweries make an especially strong beer just for Oktoberfest, so pace yourself, or choose to drink a radler (half lemonade, half beer). A shuttle will run back to your hotel after lunch - or stay and enjoy the festival until evening. Gather with your fellow travelers for a farewell reception and casual dinner at your hotel tonight. ...
