Germany Travel Tips

Neuschwanstein Castle seen from Marienbrücke in Bavaria

Germany offers far more than famous cities and classic sights. Between the North Sea and Baltic coasts, the central uplands and the Alps lie lakes, castles, historic old towns and remarkably different regions. Our Germany travel tips include personal ideas for day trips, city breaks and holidays within the country.

Berlin, Hamburg and Munich each reveal a different side of Germany. At the same time, smaller towns, castles such as Neuschwanstein and landscapes made for hiking, cycling or simply a quiet weekend are well worth visiting. Many destinations also suit spontaneous short breaks because culture and nature are often close together.

We show you worthwhile cities, beautiful landscapes and distinctive places from the coast to the south. The focus is not only on major highlights, but also on destinations and experiences that reward a second look.
