There is something for everyone in Germany's towns and cities - whether it's the big city buzz or the famous architecture, the historic sights or the packed shopping streets, the enchanting medieval houses or the scintillating nightlife.
Incredibly, there are more than 10,000 towns and cities in Germany between the North Sea and the Alps. And each one has a charm all of its own. In these vibrant destinations, you can look forward to concerts, cultural events, and high-calibre museums. There is also plenty to discover in the way of monuments and historical buildings. Every day, Germany's big cities and romantic towns are just waiting to be discovered.
Germany is a year-round destination. While Munich might be considerably further south than Berlin, the two cities have broadly comparable summers due to altitude of Munich. Our Europe Travel Experts suggest that May through to September are the most popular months and best for getting outdoors. Spring and Autumn hold real attraction as they are quieter and the weather is still pleasant. Winter is Christmas market time in the main cities.

Munich, the capital of Germany’s largest state, Bavaria, is an important centre of European culture with a history dating to the Middle Ages. A cosmopolitan city, it is prized for its galleries, outstanding museums, theatres, opera, breweries and a vibrant market scene.
Surviving turbulent times in the 20th century, Berlin has steadily become a must-see destination for travellers interested in its historic past and vibrant present. With a dazzling and versatile arts scene, it is home to three world class opera houses, the Philharmonie concert hall and Museum Island where five museums are devoted to archaeology and art.
Munich is cherished for its rich history, warm hospitality and cold Hefeweizen. Sample all three when you visit the Benedictine monks of the Andechs Monastery where your local guide reveals the flamboyant Baroque architecture of the church before joining the monks at their brewery for an introduction to Bavarian beer, a legacy more than five centuries in the making.
Between 1940 and 1945, Berlin bore the brunt of 363 Allied bombing raids, driving millions from the city. Those that remained endured a stark existence in the Berliner Unterwelten, a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels, air raid shelters and bunkers. Let your expert guide reveal life in these small chambers as air raid sirens sounded and the rumble of Allied bombers thundered overhead.
Nestled in the River Spree, explore the aptly named Museum Island’s marvellous galleries. Tour the Pergamon and its vast collection of ancient artefacts, or discover the Neues Museum and its extraordinary Egyptian antiquities. Museum Island also boasts impressive architecture; including the Berlin Cathedral with its vast dome and extravagant Neo-Baroque interior.
