Things to do in Germany
Discover Germany
Frankfurt am Main, home to Europe’s third-largest airport, combines international flair with tradition. Known as "Mainhattan" for its skyline of towering skyscrapers, the city impresses with its many museums, bustling food markets featuring wine stands, and its most celebrated figure, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Cologne, famous for its impressive Gothic architecture, is best known for the iconic Cologne Cathedral. Situated on the banks of the Rhine River, this vibrant city - the fourth largest in Germany - offers a lively carnival, its signature Kölsch beer, and a unique blend of ancient and modern influences.
An equally fascinating city is Dresden, often referred to as the "Florence on the Elbe“. Here, you'll discover a striking contrast between the old and the new, the Altstadt (Old Town) and the Neustadt (New Town). In the Old Town, you'll be fascinated by the opulent Baroque and Rococo architecture, and immerse yourself in the city's great past. Meanwhile, the New Town offers vibrant street art, colorful facades with graffiti, and a thriving artistic community, showcasing Dresden's modern, creative spirit.
A typical German town worth highlighting is Rothenburg ob der Tauber in northern Bavaria. This beautifully preserved medieval town, a key stop along the famous Romantic Road, offers visitors a chance to travel back in time to the Middle Ages. Its signature features include charming half-timbered houses surrounding the medieval town hall, the iconic Plönlein and the historic Herrngasse.
A great way to explore various regions of Germany, including the Black Forest, Rüdesheim in the Rheingau, Koblenz, and Cologne, is through a Rhine River cruise. The Rhine Valley presents a stunning landscape of castles, vineyards, and picturesque towns best viewed from the water. For wine enthusiasts, the Mosel and Rheingau vineyards are must-visit destinations. These regions, known for producing the renowned German Riesling, invite you to immerse yourself in a captivating wine landscape where tradition meets innovation, creating unforgettable tasting experiences.
Other highlights include the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, home to some of Europe's most stunning landscapes in northern Germany. Discover extraordinary natural wonders like the island of Sylt, the red cliffs of Helgoland, the white chalk cliffs of Rügen or the diversity of the Wadden Sea.
Berlin
Young, modern, and multicultural, Berlin has long moved beyond its historical division between East and West, though the city's history remains ever-present. This blend of history, modernity, and a thriving alternative cultural scene creates a uniquely vibrant atmosphere for visitors. Berlin offers a dynamic mix of past and present, from iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, the Memorial Church or the Wall to the creative energy of neighborhoods like Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. With expansive parks in the heart of the city, Berlin provides a distinct experience unlike any other in Germany.
Munich
Munich, the capital of Bavaria, is known for its centuries-old architecture, renowned breweries and beer gardens, and the expansive English Garden. While Oktoberfest is an iconic symbol of the city, a visit to the famous Hofbräuhaus brewery is recommended not only for beer lovers. Here, you can enjoy a refreshing “Helles” beer in the historic hall while enjoying traditional live music. For a fairytale experience, don’t miss nearby the Neuschwanstein Castle, which looks like it’s straight out of a Disney movie. Munich’s proximity to the Bavarian Alps also makes it an ideal gateway for outdoor enthusiasts.
Hamburg
Located in northern Germany, Hamburg is often referred to as the "gateway to the world" due to its strategic position on the River Elbe and its network of canals, which connect the city to the North Sea. Hamburg's port, the third largest in Europe, is the heart of the city and a living symbol of the city's maritime history. The port seamlessly blends industrial landscapes with leisure activities, making it a hub for both commerce and tourism. Must-see attractions include a harbor or canal cruise, Miniatur Wunderland - the world's largest model railway - and the Speicherstadt, the historic warehouse district. This area, filled with beautiful brick buildings and crisscrossed by canals, reflects the historical significance of Hamburg's commercial port and offers a striking contrast with the modern Elbphilharmonie concert hall.
The Black Forest
If you're looking to discover traditional German culture, visit the Black Forest, renowned for its iconic cuckoo clocks, delicious Black Forest cake, and picturesque villages. This mountainous region is covered by pristine forests so dense that they appear almost black from a distance, giving the area its name. The Black Forest offers a wide range of activities, from marveling at the enchanting Triberg waterfalls and strolling through the lively streets of Freiburg, to enjoying a refreshing boat trip on Lake Titisee or indulging in a relaxing wellness retreat. For adventure seekers, the popular Europa-Park amusement park is also nearby.
