Holidays in Germany: Popular excursion destinations and sights
Sights in Berlin
The German capital Berlin has long since acquired the reputation of a European cosmopolitan city and attracts millions of tourists from all over the world every year with its many theatres, museums, buildings and events. The city’s most famous attractions include the Brandenburg Gate, which symbolizes the division of Germany that has been overcome, the Kurfürstendamm, which is a lively shopping street with countless hotels, restaurants and shops, and the Großer Tiergarten, which is the third largest with an area of 2.1 km² inner-city park in Germany.
The journey goes to Bavaria
Another German city that offers a lot of sights is Munich. There are not only a large number of cultural institutions here, but also beautiful parks, including the Renaissance-era courtyard garden and the Olympic Park, which is used for many sporting and social events.
However, the city of Munich is by no means the only tourist magnet in the federal state of Bavaria. Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the leading sights in Germany near Füssen in south-west Bavaria. The magnificent building erected in 1869 for the Bavarian King Ludwig II comes very close to the idea of a fairytale castle and can be visited almost all year round.
We continue to Hamburg
Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany, is the ideal destination for tourists who love the maritime. As the second largest port in Europe, the Port of Hamburg is rich in attractions, including museums, historic ships and monuments. Boat trips and other activities are offered here regularly.
The largest amusement park in Germany, which attracts more visitors than any other seasonal amusement park in the world, is Europa-Park Rust near Freiburg. Spectacular roller coasters, carousels, water attractions, playgrounds and interactive offers cover an area of 90 hectares. Hotels and restaurants take care of the physical well-being of the guests.
