More Than a Tick on the Bucket List

Germany is a land of striking contrasts, where futuristic cities and medieval towns exist side by side. Whether you're after a detailed city itinerary or just want to know what to do once you’ve arrived, you'll find plenty of options to shape your trip.

And if castles are more your speed (and who doesn’t love a turret or two?), Germany has more than its fair share. From mountaintop ruins to royal palaces tucked into urban green spaces, the options are as scenic as they are plentiful.

Of course, landmarks here go far beyond castles. You’ll find Gothic cathedrals, Bauhaus icons, and everything in between, with each building telling its own piece of Germany’s long and layered history. And while the cities often get the spotlight, the countryside deserves equal attention.

Alpine peaks, cavern systems, and national parks offer their own kind of grandeur. Whether you're planning a route or just browsing for inspiration, these guides and photo galleries are here to help or, at the very least, satisfy a bout of well-earned wanderlust.
