Germany
Germany's landscape is straight from the Fairy tales: castles, deep dark forests and mythical rivers. The German landscapes are extraordinarily diverse, with graceful big-city appeal, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture, and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has molded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse.

Frankfurt
Frankfurt is the financial capital of Germany. A closer look reveals there is much more to offer; from arts, outdoors, and shopping, to historic buildings and high-rises. It has long been an important center for cultural and tourism activities. Its huge trade fair complex, Messe Frankfurt, hosts important events such as the Frankfurt Book Fair (the world's most important publishing event). The city is known for its exceptional number of fine museums covering art, science, and history. The traditional cider pubs in Sachsenhausen and the 'Fressgass' (eating street) should not be missed.

Wurzburg
Würzburg, the capital of Lower Franconia, is one of the loveliest baroque cities in the country and became famous as the center of Franconian wine production. It is called 'the town of Madonnas' because of the more than 100 statues of its patron saint that adorn its house fronts. It is also the best place to start driving the Romantic Road. The liveliest place in town is the Markt (central marketplace) where street performers entertain and vendors hawk their wares, ranging from fresh fruit to souvenir trinkets.
Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Würzburg Residence, Marienberg Fortress, Würzburg Cathedral, Alte Mainbrücke, Würzburg Market Square, and more! -
Rothenburg ob der tauber
On the Romantic Road, in the south of Germany, Rothenburg ob der tauber is the best preserved medieval city in Europe. Picturesquely positioned on the steep banks of the River Tauber, its walls and towers have remained unharmed since the Thirty Years War of 1618. As you explore the town's impressive old streets and buildings, you'll feel as if you stepped back in time.
Visit St. Jacobs' Church, Market Square, the Town Hall, the Old Town Walls, the Medieval Crime Museum, the Christmas Museum, the Imperial Town Museum, Double Bridge, Old Town, and so much more! -
Fussen
Füssen, often called the romantic soul of Bavaria, is famed for its location in the kings nook (Königswinkel), and its closeness to King Ludwig's dream castle. The city is situated on the Romantic Road (Romantische Straße), one of the most scenic German holiday routes, and the route starts (or ends) here. The area is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, history, and the most famous German Castles, as well as rolling hills, green meadows, and the peaks of the Alps. The scenery is breathtaking, especially on a sunny day.
Explore Neuschwanstein Castle, Schloss Hohenschwangau, Museum der Bayerischen Könige, Tegelberg Cable Car, Museum Füssen, Medieval Town Center, Lake Forggensee, Kloster St. Mang, Wieskirche Church, and so much more! -
Munich
Big city style and rural charm, Alpine character and Mediterranean verve, art treasures and the Oktoberfest, traditional customs and high technology, beer gardens and haute cuisine, operas and cool bars; these are all ingredients that makes Bavaria's state capital so endlessly fascinating, and so popular with visitors from around the world. Sprawling Munich is one of Germany's major cultural centers, second only to Berlin in terms of museums and theaters. It's also one of Germany's most festive cities, and its location, at the foot of the Alps, is idyllic. Munich's self-imposed image is that of a fun-loving and festival-addicted city - typified by its Oktoberfest.
