A land of immense history, culture and natural beauty
Germany is an enthralling land of fascinating culture and history, pioneering technological and engineering advances, captivating old-world charm and scenes of breathtaking nature. Consisting of 16 individual states or regions, each possesses its own strong cultural identity, making Germany an immensely diverse country, where local traditions showcase a differing character across each city, town and village.
Germany’s charismatic capital, Berlin, is as good a place as any to begin a journey through the country’s history and identity. A reunified and re-invigorated city – once divided during the Cold War by the infamous Berlin Wall – today visitors will encounter a diverse and vibrant metropolis, home to a portfolio of nightclubs, shops, galleries and restaurants, as well as some stunning landmarks.
Munich is another spell-binding hub of culture and character, something found throughout beautiful Bavaria, of which Munich is the capital. Spread across Bavaria, you’ll encounter half-timbered towns, romantic castles, stunning natural landscapes and a rich and authentic culinary scene.
In Frankfurt you’ll discover a city brimming with culture, great shopping and fantastic dining, as well as Römerberg, one of the most picturesque squares in Germany. Frankfurt is also a great jumping-off point for exploration in the Rhine Valley, allowing you to discover castles, charming towns and lovely scenery, as well other attractive cities that sit on the banks of this famed river, such as Koblenz and Mainz.
Germany is also home to one of Europe’s finest baroque cities, Dresden. Beyond its bleak past when it faced almost complete destruction during World War II, the city still holds a proud identity, and today it is home to a range of pristine palaces, pretty gardens and striking landmarks.

When to visit
Germany benefits from being a rewarding year-round destination, appealing to travellers throughout both the colder winter months and the sunnier summer spells. Exploring Germany’s cities is perhaps most rewarding during spring and autumn, when temperatures are more pleasant, though there’s nothing more romantic than one of the city’s Christmas markets during the winter. For exploring the natural landscapes of Bavaria or the Rhine Valley, between April and October the conditions will be excellent for outdoor-themed adventures.
