Discover Germany

  • History and Heritage

    Germany has a complex history, often marked by somber chapters, but it is crucial to understand and reflect on this past in order to fully grasp the country's present and future. Hike through the breathtaking scenery of the Berchtesgaden National Park, with its turquoise lakes and majestic mountains, home to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. Pay tribute to and learn more about the victims of the Holocaust by visiting the remnants of Dachau and Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camps (in Poland). Be inspired by open-air artwork known as the East Side Gallery, a long section of the Berlin Wall torn after the Cold War and adorned with murals, graffiti, and musings.

  • Fairytale Towns and Dreamy Castles

    You will find palaces and castles in the thousands in Germany. Take a day trip from Munich to the real-life Sleeping Beauty castle, the Neuschwanstein Castle, perched atop a rocky ledge in the village of Hohenschwangau. The Imperial Castle in Nuremberg boasts the best views of the city. Hidden deep in the forest, high above a 70 m rock, is the magical Eltz Castle. Wander through the narrow streets of the Old Town of Heidelberg. With its historical sites, baroque architecture, Heidelberg Castle set atop a hill, overlooking the Neckar River, it’s the perfect fairytale town.

  • Culture, Art and German Beer

    Cheers to the beer lovers and sausage devourers! With over 5 000 types of beer, 1 500 breweries, Germans take their beer tradition seriously. Whether you pair your pint with a pretzel, a variety of local sausages, or a slice of cake, a Biergarten is the perfect place to enjoy it all. Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival, is a must. Music lovers can take part in a wide range of music festivals, from heavy metal bands at Wacken Open Air to the classical works of Richard Wagner during the Bayreuth Festival. The Carnival Season is a great time to visit Germany and party with the locals. Join millions of visitors in Cologne for the week-long Kölner Karneval (aka Cologne Carnival).
