Why Go?
Few countries have had as much impact on the world as Germany. It has given us the printing press, the automobile, aspirin and historical heavyweights from Luther to Bach to Hitler. You’ll encounter history in towns where streets were laid out long before Columbus set sail, and in castles that loom above prim, half-timbered villages where flower boxes billow with crimson geraniums. The great cities – Berlin, Munich and Hamburg among them – come in more flavours than a jar of jelly beans, but will all wow you with a cultural kaleidoscope that spans the arc from art museums and high-brow opera to naughty cabaret and underground clubs. Germany’s storybook landscapes will also likely leave an even bigger imprint on your memories. There’s something undeniably artistic in the way Germany’s scenery unfolds from the dune-fringed northern coasts via romantic river valleys to the off-the-charts Alpine splendour.
When to Go
- Jun–Aug Warm summers cause Germans to shed their clothes; night never seems to come.
- Sep Radiant foliage and often-sunny skies invite outdoor pursuits; festivals galore (Oktoberfest anyone?).
- Dec It’s icy, it’s cold but lines are short and Alpine slopes and twinkly Christmas markets beckon.
