Germany

We’ll awake in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a fairy tale German village where students will be free to explore, shop and sample delicious German treats before our afternoon performance. You won’t want to miss the famous Christmas stores, open year-round to shoppers seeking handcrafted German Christmas decorations. A favorite evening experience is the famed “Night Watchman,” a local celebrity of sorts who guides a night tour of the city as he weaves tales of medieval life in Rothenburg.

While our time in Germany is brief, our visit will hold special meaning, as we’ll have the opportunity to stop at Dachau on our journey. The infamous Dachau concentration camp serves as a memorial site, giving visitors the opportunity to honor the victims and learn from the past.
