Germany

Germany is a country of historic cities, fairytale castles, and diverse landscapes. From the bustling streets of Berlin to the peaceful vineyards of the Moselle Valley, there’s something for every traveler. Wander through the half-timbered villages of Bavaria, explore the ruins of Heidelberg Castle, or hike through the Black Forest’s dense woodlands.

In the north, Hamburg’s vibrant harbor, Bremen’s medieval streets, and the sandy beaches of Rügen Island offer coastal charm. Central Germany is home to the historic city of Dresden, the Rhine Valley’s castle-lined riverbanks, and the cosmopolitan skyline of Frankfurt. In the south, Munich’s beer gardens, Neuschwanstein Castle’s fairytale towers, and Zugspitze’s panoramic mountain views showcase the country’s alpine beauty.
