Munich, Germany

The ultimate German city break

2 days

Effortless style, warm summers and cold al fresco beers: little wonder Munich is wryly described as Italy’s most northern city. And yet the Bavarian capital is Germany at its most quintessential: the home of Oktoberfest and lederhosen, rococo palaces and BMW. In this former royal capital in the shadow of the Alps, days can be spent drifting from one world-class art gallery to the next, hitting the boutiques of Maximilianstrasse or idling by the banks of the Eisbach as it ripples through the vast English Garden.

Your A&K Experiences:

Explore the beautiful baroque town of Lindau on a walking tour. Set on an island in Lake Constance, this is one of Germany’s most romantic towns: ornate fountains, a scenic waterfront and romantic blossoming courtyards, while the Alps roll away in the distance.

Lucerne

Lucerne, Switzerland

Switzerland’s leading lakeside beauty

3 days

Set on a crystal clear lake, surrounded by snow-smattered peaks and nicknamed the City of Light, Lucerne makes a convincing case for the title of Switzerland’s most scenic city. And those are merely its natural charms: the old town’s timbered houses and cobbled squares, ornate bridges and balconies brimming with flowers, medieval churches and art-filled museums are as romantic as the Turner paintings the place inspired. Indeed, Lucerne may leave you lovestruck.

Your A&K Experiences:

Soak up the atmosphere of the city on a private walking tour, visiting the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), the medieval Hofkirche and the poignant Lion Monument, before sampling local gingerbread or a sweet slice of birnenweggen (pear strudel).

Lombardy’s most elegant pin-up

3 days

The name alone evokes grand, stuccoed daydreams, and Lake Como is old-school glamour at its finest. It’s long been a high-rolling hideaway for the rich and famous, who while away their summers on cypress-shaded terraces of vast private villas. But the destination outshines any A-lister: reaching through the lush, green foothills of the Italian Alps, the three-armed lake is the jewel in Lombardy’s crown, where winding roads link pretty villages and ferries criss-cross the water, whisking passengers from one immaculately landscaped garden party to the next.

Your A&K Experiences:

Take in the natural beauty of Lake Como on a private, guided boat cruise. Stop at the striking Villa Balbianello, which featured in the 1995 film, A Month by the Lake, and was used by Allied Generals in World War II. Moor up to explore the stunning, historic village of Bellagio before returning to your hotel.
