Germany

Germany is a country of contrasts. You can move from Berlin’s contemporary culture to medieval old towns, from fairytale castles to Alpine landscapes, from Rhine vineyards to the North Sea coast. There is history everywhere, but Germany is not trapped in its past. Its cities are modern, creative and constantly evolving, while its smaller towns and rural regions preserve traditions, food and landscapes that give the country its character.

Our Take

Germany works because there is no single way to experience it.

Berlin is bold, creative and constantly changing. Munich brings Bavarian tradition, beer gardens and easy access to the Alps. Hamburg feels maritime and cosmopolitan. Cologne has its cathedral, Rhine setting and lively atmosphere.

Then there are the places between the major cities.

Germany’s historic towns, castles, forests, vineyards and national parks give you a completely different experience. The country has 16 national parks and a huge range of natural landscapes, while its historic cities combine heritage with modern life.

Food is another reason to travel here.

German cuisine goes well beyond sausages and beer. Each region has its own specialities, while Germany’s wine regions and growing craft beer scene offer plenty for travellers who like to eat and drink their way through a destination.

The best trips don’t try to see everything.

Choose a region, slow down and give yourself enough time to experience the places between the obvious highlights.
