Germany
Half-timbered houses, fairy tale castles and modern cities
Welcome to Germany
Ah, Germany, in many ways the heart of Europe. A place of great music, literature, art, and philosophy. Gothic castles, dense forests, heart foods, and the best beer on Earth. Germany’s history is also one of its biggest draws: reminders of World War II, the Berlin Wall, and monuments to its great writers, composers, and philosophers. It’s a country that’s friendly, safe, organised, and artistically exciting. Germany travel blog

The hipster capital of Europe is a city bursting with exciting art, music, and literature. The historic walks along the ruins of the Berlin Wall are captivating and the people are more than kind.
Bavaria (584km from Berlin)
Otherwise known as Bayern, this area of Germany is the most picturesque in the country. Home to the town of Munich, Nuremberg and the splendid fairy tale castle of Neuschwanstein.

Best time to visit
Most people try and visit Germany from May-October to catch the best weather since the country gets very cold, dark, and wet in the winter. If you really want to avoid the rain then it’s best to travel July and August, although it is one of the busiest times in terms of tourism.
However, if you love Christmas Markets (and who doesn’t) then heading to Germany in December is an absolute dream.
