Small Towns

Monschau is a laid back resort town surrounded by a beautiful landscape with a 14C castle commanding the hill above.

Monschau is a small resort town in the Eifel region of western Germany. The historic town center has many preserved half-timbered houses and narrow streets have remained nearly unchanged for 300 years, making the town a popular tourist attraction nowadays. And an open-air, classical music festival is staged annually at Burg Monschau. On the heights above the city is Monschau castle, which dates back to the 13th century. Some of the castle is in ruins, most notably what is known as The Haller. Its West Wing has been a Youth Hostel since the First World War and its grey stones makes the perfect backdrop for the summer concerts and operas held here.

Your website was a revelation! Our holiday organizing would not have been possible without it! The minute I found the site and starting navigating it I was telling everyone about it. I played around with it for about 3 months before we actually booked our holiday in February 2016. It was amazing to see the distance and time between each destination and the routes we could take. Then going onto the hotel booking section was very easy. Your team were great when we were missing a confirmation email as well. We had an amazing trip and I would recommend to anyone travelling around instead of lying on a beach for 2 weeks. We also got engaged while we were in Rome, so it was the perfect holiday!!

The trip was wonderful. Your team reacted very quickly and sorted out any misunderstandings immediately. The route was properly calculated and, although I drove alone throughout the trip, it wasn't very tiring. As for the hotels, they were neat and clean, some especially friendly, bright, and walking distance from the city center. I have already recommended your website to my colleagues.
