This May I travelled to Germany with my family and from Frankfurt to Munich I travelled by train. I was highly impressed of the efforts put in by the people of Germany to reduce the carbon emission by using bicycles instead of cars and bikes in most cities and later it didn't surprise me when GERMANY was declared as the GREENEST NATION in 2008 as they managed to reduce the carbon emission by 5.6% whereas the global energy consumption was up by 2.4%. Further, as a frequent traveller and seeing the escalating fuel prices I thought why not I introduce a concept of A LA CARTE travel and here it is.....
Visit the world’s greenest country – GERMANY, the COMPACT TRAVELS way
COMPACT TRAVELS – the first and only destination specialist in India for 5 CENTRAL EUROPEAN destinations including Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and Poland bring to you a unique concept of travel - TRAVEL A LA CARTE- now choose the number of days of travel as per your time, budget and combine them with experiences – whether it is historical, amusement parks, river cruises, mountains, castles or a combination of all of them.
First in our series of A LA CARTE options is GERMANY…..
Why GERMANY?
With escalating fuel costs, the best way to travel is by going green, just fly down to your destination and complete the rest of the journey by rail and what better way than to start with the GREENEST NATION for 2008. Yes GERMANY, is the greenest nation as it has slashed its energy consumption by 5.6% whereas the global energy consumption rose by 2.4%. Additionally, Germany is a great value for money destination especially as the average rates for hotel room rates in Germany are far lower compared to U.K, France or even Italy.
Germany is truly an unexplored territory for the Indian traveller. Most Indian visitors have seen glimpses of Germany when they land at Frankfurt airport to attend a trade fair or have an express stop in Black Forest or Heidelberg as part of their group tour itinerary and regret for having missed out on such a wonderful country whilst taking a fast paced tour across Europe.
However, we at COMPACT TRAVELS with our reliable partners in Germany have chalked out a unique itinerary designed by our Germany Destination Expert who explored each of the region to plan out what you would like, as you like and extend your stay in Germany from a minimum of 7 days going up to 21 days or even more taking you across its 16 Federal States from North to South and East to West.
A country which boasts of 28000 Castles - a majority of them unexplored; state of the art automobile engineering with top brands such as Audi, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Volkswagen; home to some of the most scenic routes such as the Fairytale Route, Romantic Route, Castle Road; the biggest theme park in Europe amongst five other theme parks, there are various ways one can explore Germany and COMPACT TRAVELS has put together a unique concept so that you can set your own pace and include a wide range of experiences across its various regions. Germany is also home to one of the most successful clubs in the world – FC Bayern Munich and you may be lucky to see some of your favourite players in action in one of the state of the art stadiums across Germany.
To make your experience all the more exciting we offer you a basic programme covering atleast three regions of Germany and this can also be extendable to neighbouring countries such as Switzerland and Austria to complete the GERMAN TRIANGLE.
