Guten tag und Wilkomen, Germany is one of the friendliest countries in Europe. There are so many fantastic places to visit you’ll find yourself making numerous trips to this lovely country. From two nights to two weeks you can plan a wonderful trip in Germany.

 Berlin and Munich are amazing cities to visit all year round. Both cities are famed for many things, but both are rich in culture and the arts. Berlin is a place of great interest for the historian, ensure you do at least one of the many of walking tours. Munich apart from its ornate clock tower is renowned for its hearty Bavarian food and drink. Be sure to try a pork knuckle, potato dumplings and sauerkraut and all must be washed down with local Bavarian beer ,Hofbräu at the Hofbräuhaus will definitely do!

Great holiday rentals in Berlin include a luxury Apartment@Berlin Mitte, well located close to Alexanderplatz and in Munich the Guest Apartments HUBMANN are in a peaceful setting very close to the city centre. The choice and privacy you can enjoy in private holiday rentals is fantastic.

If you can travel by train in Germany, they have the best and most efficient train service in Europe, Die Bahn is brilliant; its affordable and you can by online in English. To accompany your wonderful train tour you have the opportunity to stay in some wonderful local holiday rentals in Germany allowing you to select a mixture of city and rural holiday homes.

If you like walking and drinking wine you’ll wonder why you haven’t considered Germany until now. There are incredible wineries to visit along the river Rhine where you can sample the superb Rieslings and Gewurztraminers on offer. Travelling through the Rhineland-Palatinate you have a choice of ‘vacation apartments’ at Springiersbacher Hof in Ediger, cosy rooms with exquisite views of the wine lands.

Next on the train I’d move west to Cologne or Heidelberg. Cologne is one of the loveliest places to visit with all its amazing charms. Cologne is a great pick anytime of the year but especially for the German Christmas markets which start in November. Cologne can easily be reached by train from anywhere in Germany or on the Eurostar via Brussels.

Heidelberg is one of my favourite destinations in Germany this sweet and delightful city located on the Neckar River offers wonderful summer cruises on the river and has a lovely old centre with narrow streets and old beer houses dating back to the 16^th century. Heidelberg is one of the best places in Germany to try a German language course. Days or weeks, there are many private holiday rentals to suit your needs, the Stadler family in Heidelberg offer a truly German experience and open their home to guests.

With some fantastic cosmopolitan cities, stunning countryside, a fascinating history and an efficient rail network you really could say that Germany has it all. Why not think outside the box for this year’s holiday and experience it for yourself?
