"Grandmamas Rejsedagbog 1810" er den 36-årige Sophie Thalbitzers optegnelser over en kombineret forretnings- og familierejse, som hun, hendes mand og 9-årige søn foretager fra København til Berlin i juni-september 1810. Turen foregår med egen hestevogn, sejlskib over Storebælt, gennem Fyn, Jylland, hertugdømmerne, Hamborg og derfra videre ind i Tyskland. Turen er langsommelig, strabadserende og dramatisk - Napoleonskrigene gør forholdene usikre. Selve færden, landskaberne, opholdsstederne og menneskene undervejs beskrives med akkuratesse, åbent sind og humor. Det gør også de mange muntre sammenkomster hos hendes mands tyske familie og forretningsforbindelser og de mange aftener i byernes teatre, alt set fra en begavet og selvstændigt tænkende kvindes synsvinkel.
