With enchanted forests, medieval castles, mountains shrouded in clouds and charming villages, Germany has inspired delightful fairy tales and magnificent operas. The Grimms Brothers called this country home, as did Bach and Wagner.

Captivating cities rich with culture and occupied by fun-loving people welcome visitors. Between Munich, a lively hub in the heart of Bavaria, and Hamburg, a beautiful Northern seaport, lie many other fine cities.

Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, the financial capitals, are rich with culture. Heidelberg enjoys a scenic riverside setting and historical charm. Berlin continues to grow as a unified city with a divided history. Cologne presents many fine examples of Romanesque architecture. Take a boat trip down the Rhine River or wander the Romantic Road for a taste of the Middle Ages.

No matter where you go in Germany, storybook villages and bewitching scenery will be the backdrop for your own fascinating adventure.

Destinations in Germany

Berlin, Germany

After suffering division for nearly 30 years, Berlin was finally reunited in 1989 and is now the democratic capital of Germany. While the former East and West Berlins continue to grow together as one city, there are obvious differences between the two. The historic eastern part of town boasts renovated grand avenues, monumental architecture, and world-renowned museum treasures, while the western part of town has built entirely new museums, monuments, and cultural centers.

Frankfurt German

Frankfurt is Germany's fifth-largest city and the financial powerhouse of the country. Home to the European Central Bank, the German Central Bank, and many other financial institutions housed in vast skyscrapers, Frankfurt has earned the nickname "Mainhattan"-for both the Main River that flows through the city and its economic counterpart in New York.
