DAY EXCURSION TO BERLIN
Berlin, the capital of Germany, is dynamic, cosmopolitan and creative, allowing for every kind of lifestyle. East meets West in the metropolis at the heart of a changing Europe. Germany's largest city is full of opportunities just waiting to be seized in all areas, like entertainment, recreation, economy, science and academic life.

OVERNIGHT STUDY EXCURSIONS
Leipzig – One Overnight
Bursting with fresh confidence and vitality, this grand old city is now a busy venue for trade fairs and conferences and a major center of trade, culture, nightlife and shopping. The lovely old Renaissance and Baroque buildings, historical trading centers and malls are now fully restored and modernized, providing a stylish paradise for shoppers and sightseers.
Erfurt, Weimar, Buchenwald and Wartburg Castle – Two Overnights
Martin Luther described the city of Erfurt as "in the center of the center" of Germany. It has a long history as a center of German religion and learning, with one of the oldest universities in Central Europe.
As a seat of literature, music and art, Weimar has a worldwide reputation, and since 1999 has been experiencing a new burst of vitality as a European City of Culture.
Buchenwald Concentration Camp was established on Ettersberg Hill near Weimar in July 1937. Between 1937 and 1945, more than 250,000 people were held captive in the camp.
The Wartburg Castle is located on a 1,230-foot cliff overlooking Eisenach. It was founded in 1067 AD and is one of the best preserved castles in Germany. This castle is probably most known for giving refuge to Martin Luther in 1521-1522 while he translated the New Testament into German. It is considered by many to be one of the finest Romanesque structures in Germany.
