The Romantic Road
Are you looking to experience a mediaeval vibe and go back to classical times in this modern world? Take a drive down the Romantic Road. The road runs in the state of Bravia between Würzburg and Füssen, leading to the spectacular Neuschwanstein Castle in the beautifully preserved mediaeval town. It is the most scenic drive in all of Germany and is a perfect opportunity to discover the rich culture and scenic beauty of the place.
This is one of the most popular tourist spots you can imagine, and it tends to get quite busy during the summer months. However, when in Germany, make sure to experience the history, culture, art, and picturesque scenery of Würzburg.
Cologne
Alongside Berlin, Cologne is the most libertine destination and the fourth largest city in Germany. This place is a thriving art scene, a delight for art lovers, and is home to one of the most majestic cathedrals in the world, the Cologne Cathedral or the Kölner Dom, as it is known by the locals. This cathedral has been listed by UNESCO as one of the most beautiful sights. The place is also famous for its love padlocks bridge, Hohenzollern Bridge, and the Old Town called Altstadt, which hosts impressive historical buildings and monuments.
Make sure to go to the Cologne carnival if you visit in November. The carnival is the greatest street festival in Europe and perhaps the world.
Hamburg
Hamburg offers everything from historical buildings to futuristic architecture to pulsating nightlife. It is the second-largest metropolis in Germany and is abundant in green spaces, and has probably got more bridges than any other city in the world. You can experience fine dining in the restaurants that line the riverbank, museums, of course, and the most popular spot is the Town Hall which is a marvel of Neo-Renaissance architecture.
There is no denying that Germany has tons of architectural marvels and is a place filled with great art pieces, which people mostly visit the country to see. But, if you like contemporary things and have a modern taste, you must visit the futuristic HafenCity District. It is one of Europe’s most ambitious inner-city developments. At the Hamburg post, you will find towering skyscrapers, airy promenades, modern glass facades, and the famous concert hall – Elphilharmonie.
Dresden
Known as the cultural capital of Germany, Dresden is replete with lovely spots. You will find here eye-catching baroque houses, the stately Dresden Frauenkirche, and the astonishing Zwinger Palace.
