WWII left Dresden in a sorrowful state of ruin, but the city has recovered sufficiently to become a spirited and arty (not to mention handsome) destination. Of most note is the resurrected Frauenkirche church, destroyed by firebombing but rebuilt to wonderful effect.


Europa Park, Rust




Essen* 

The European Capital of Culture for 2010 was once best known as being a mining town, but has since grown into a multicultural example of modern Germany, with often remarkable examples of how industrial infrastructure can be repurposed to artistic effect. A fitting place to try and understand what makes the country tick in the 21st century.


Frankfurt* 

Frankfurt am Main is best known as a financial centre (its gleaming office-block skyline has been coined 'Mainhattan') but there's much to draw cultural tourists too. Its historic core dates back to medieval times, and several attractive landmark buildings remain.

The Rhine* 

The Rhine (spelt Rhein in German) is one of the longest rivers in Europe, and one of its most impressive to boot. Take a cruise from Koblenz past fairytale castles, pretty villages and the imposing Lorelei Rock, legendary home of a siren said to have lured boatmen to their demise.


Walk the Rennsteig* 


The size and scope of the country - with its mountain ranges, tidal shores and mighty forests - makes Germany a hikers' paradise.
