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.

I wish to express my extreme satisfaction with Route Perfect. Shortly after deciding that Italy was to be the place that I would next visit, I was at first overwhelmed and daunted with the thought of having to book and pay for accommodation in different cities in Italy and having to try and correspond with people whose English is less than perfect! It was at this point that I happened to stumble upon RoutePerfect on the Internet and what a blessing this turned out to be. I would highly recommend RoutePerfect to any person wanting to organise a trip to Europe. RoutePerfect is extremely user friendly. Within moments, I had my trip itinerary worked out and all the hotels booked and paid for. It not only provided maps of the areas, but details of the history of each place and what the worthwhile attractions would be. They also have links to Wikipedia if you were not satisfied with the information that they provided and wanted to read more, as well as links to TripAdvisor if one wanted to read up on the standard and quality of the hotels recommended. When I next travel to Europe or anywhere else, Route Perfect, will most definitely be my first port of call. Thank you for making my life so easy.

My girlfriend and I had an incredible time on our trip. RoutePerfect made it so easy to book everything and the places we stayed in were accurately rated. Next time we head to Europe we will use you again. Thanks!
