What I didn't expect was how much I would love not just the wine but also the area itself. Almost every town is charming and picturesque with a storybook feel that, as someone raised in the USA, is just something I can't get at home.

Many things can shape a city—its culture, history, social life, or food scene. But perhaps the most distinctive feature would be architecture. Some buildings can completely fascinate you with their astonishing design and pure aesthetics. Through careful urban planning and understanding of the cultural background, the structure of a city can carry you through time while still leaving you in a very particular place.

Take a journey through Germany's captivating past, uncovering the hidden gems of its stunning historical landmarks, from the iconic Brandenburg Gate to the majestic Neuschwanstein Castle, and immerse yourself in the rich culture, awe-inspiring architecture, and captivating stories that await at these must-visit destinations.
