Germany, 4 Nights/Car, $315

Frankfurt's hotel is the Luxor Hotel. It's a quick walk to the Main River, where you can hop a boat ride. One of Frankfurt's famous treats is Ebbelwoi, an apple wine. It's served in pubs in a blue stoneware jug and has been a favorite of locals for 250 years.

Hotel Ludwig will be your base in Munich. It's close to some of the main tourist attractions: Victualienmarkt, a 140-stall food market that operates throughout the week; the Cathedral of Our Lady, a church with artwork spanning five centuries; and the English Garden, designed by the American Benjamin Thompson.
