Categories

There are many charming cities to visit in Germany, each with their own unique set of attractions, sights, and even cuisines. This list of amazing cities to visit in Germany showcases the diversity of this eclectic country.

1. Berlin

Germany's capital city offers an enormous amount of things to see and do. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Museum Island offers five different museums ranging from art to history. Travelers interested in history may visit the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie. The Berlin Zoo is one of the most popular zoos in Europe, with over 1500 different species to see. For relaxation, try one of the city's thousands of swimming lakes.

2. Munich

Though Munich might be best known for Oktoberfest, this city has much more to explore in Bavaria. Marienplatz is the city's center, a social hotspot surrounded by beautiful historical architecture. The massive Englischer Garten offers vast lawns and groves and even surfing in the Eisbach River. Car lovers can enjoy the BMW museum, which even houses Elvis Presley's BMW. Another must-see is St. Peter's Church, where you can enjoy an incredible city view from the top of the tower.

3. Cologne

This historically significant city is situated on the Rhine River and is home to the Cologne Cathedral, the most visited landmark in all of Germany. Here you can view artifacts dating as far back as the 10th century. For more modern art, the Ludwig Museum features avant-garde and pop art. And no trip to Cologne is complete without visiting Old Town, where you can experience what the city was like before it was destroyed in World War II.

4. Hamburg

This port city's most popular spot is Speicherstadt, a warehouse district with plenty of visitor attractions. The oldest warehouse is home to the International Maritime Museum, which has artifacts dating back thousands of years. Another warehouse is filled with Minatur Wunderland, where those who love miniature trains can enjoy models of cities around the world. Or spend time on the harbor with a visit to the Fish Market. This meeting place was started in 1703 and sells the freshest fish, flowers, and spices with a side of live entertainment.

5. Dusseldorf

Another city situated on the Rhine river, Dusseldorf is the perfect place for those who love to dine out and shop. The Rheinuferpromenade is a highlight as a long, sunny strip lined with cafes and shops. For high-end shopping, visit Konigsallee, another strip that features premium shops. And if you're into exciting nightlife, the Altstadt (old town) offers over 300 bars and nightclubs.
