From the North Sea to the Bavarian Alps and the Moselle valley to the Elbe springs, Germany invites you to discover all four corners of its country through its multifaceted cultural, natural and culinary heritage. Lovers of the arts, the outdoors and good food will have plenty to choose from before leaving Germany happy and full!

Unrivalled cultural heritage of fascinating cities and fairytale castles

Begin your German tour with any of the major historic cities, the likes of Berlin, Munich or Hamburg where every corner you turn recounts a new page in its history. Marvel at the iconic monuments such as the Brandenburg Gate, the remains of the Berlin Wall and the magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle. Museum Island in Berlin, a unique ensemble of museums in the city centre, harbours a priceless collection of archaeological treasures and works of art. Cologne and its majestic Gothic cathedral, Potsdam and its pleasure palace used by the kings of Prussia, and Dresden with its baroque buildings are all equally impressive. Come autumn, Oktoberfest in Munich turns the city into one great beer hall, a celebration of Bavarian hospitality and a lot of fun to boot. Of course, Germany is also famed for its quintessential Christmas markets, its twinkling lights and enticing aromas of mulled wine and gingerbread casting a spell over the festive crowds.

A feast of fabulous landscapes and foodie hotspots

To call Germany scenic is an understatement. Prepare to be enchanted by the sprawling Black Forest shrouded in mystery, and the sunlit vineyards of the Rhine Valley. If you love spending your days outside, the Bavarian Alps are a paradise for hikers and heritage enthusiasts, who will enjoy making their way slowly along the Romantic Road, from Würzburg to Füssen, where medieval towns and hilltop castles await them in southern Germany. Gourmets will appreciate the array of flavours offered by German cuisine, from succulent sausages to chewy pretzels, not forgetting the hundreds of craft beers, to enjoy in moderation, and krapfen, jam or cream filled doughnuts smothered in sugar. Germany truly is a treat for the senses!
