Now I am undecided on whether or not to fly out of France and into Germany or continue along Reims and Chambord to enter Germany. Prefarably I'd like to work my way South --> Up with stops in Singen and Aachen as well as 2/3 of the 4 major cities.

Any feedback? I'm 18, thus the trip up through Rimini to get to Venice.

the Singen i know of is near the Swiss border, a very long way from Reims. but, this would work well to get to Aachen, after an Aachen visit you could easily get to Cologne, about 75 km.

after Cologne, it's a ways to Hamburg, 430 km, but there are some great places to go between Cologne & Hamburg!

if history is any interest to you, Münster & Osnabrück are on the way between Cologne & Hamburg. Münster & Osnabrück are important as the sites where the Treaty of Osnabrück and the Treaty of Münster, signed in 1648, establishing "Peace of Westphalia" and the Westphalian system for interaction between sovereignties, which has lasted more than 450 years.

Bremen is also on the way between Cologne & Hamburg. Bremen is an important port city, a Hansestadt, actually 35 miles inland from the North Sea. Bremen is also know for a statue "Die Stadtmusikanten (Town Musicians) which portrays the donkey, dog, cat, and rooster of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale."

from Hamburg, it isn't so far to Berlin, the most major city in Germany.

this plan would give 3 of the top 4 cities in Germany: Cologne, Hamburg & Berlin.

personally, i enjoyed Vienna, Austria, more than any place in Germany.

Perhaps maybe it'd be possible to go through Singen and go down to Vienna? My one problem is I am returning via London so for travel purposes (Unless I fly) It'd be smart to work my way up instead.

Thanks though for the advice!

The Rimini comment was made because I've gotten a few comments from Travel Agents as well as people that have gone that Rimini is not much more then Nightclubs and partying and that it was too much for alot of them.
