News – City and Cultural Tours

On the last sunny day of September, the AugustusTours team spent a special day in Dresden-Langebrück together with their families. What our CEO Anke Herrmann had kept secret for a long time turned out to be a colourful mix of nature experiences, games and sports, culinary delights – and a special highlight.

From 1st May to 3rd June 2026, Germany's largest Hanseatic city invites you to the International Music Festival Hamburg. Under the motto "End", renowned orchestras, conductors, ensembles and soloists will present an exciting programme ranging from great classical works to modern soundscapes, making the metropolis on the Elbe a meeting place for music lovers from all over the world.

The AugustusTours summer party has become a nice tradition, as it offers the opportunity to get to know our business partners in person, who we usually only "meet" in daily e-mail and telephone contact. It is also a good opportunity to discuss current and future events and news on both sides. This year, the festival took place at a very special location: the Dresden Railway Museum.

Ludwig van Beethoven ranks to be the most frequently played classical composer and pioneer of Romantic music. He was born in Bonn in 1770 – being baptised on the 17th December the same year. Being not older than seven, Beethoven already performed in public for the first time and soon afterwards made a name of himself being a piano virtuoso. His relocation from Bonn to Vienna led Beethoven to Joseph Haydn, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger and Antonio Salieri. Due to difficulties hearing which, in the course of time, had even led to deafness, Beethoven focused more and more on composing. Thereby, he strived for every single note and had to rework and improve his works over and over again. From all his accomplishments, his nine symphonies stand out the most.

The time has finally come: GTM, the largest incoming workshop for Germany as a travel destination, is taking place in Bonn this year. Recently we already learnt about the latest travel trends at ITB Berlin. You can also meet us again at the WTM in London in November 2025…
