Germany

When most people think of Germany they think of Oktoberfest, Munich beers, Lederhosen and efficiency. We know it as much more than that, way less robotic. Once you get under the skin of it you will see the huge contrasts that Germany has to offer. As an economic powerhouse of the world Germany is a huge country with busy cities in both the flat North and mountainous South but beyond that there are stunning mountains, rolling green hills and huge forests. There are carefree, crazy party nights to be had for adults in Berlin and stunning mountain views in Bavaria, where you can be awestruck via a quick tram ride.

Germany boasts liveable, bustling cities such as Hamburg, Hannover, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Frankfurt who have loads to offer if their own right. We’ve seen a lot of it and want to share our best highlights here. We’ll tell you how to get around, the best places to stay, the best places to go out and the best cities to visit across Germany without spending an unnecessary fortune.
