Experience The Historic Highlights of Germany
17 Uniquely German Heritage Cities Welcome You
Travel back in time while you visit in style, enjoying all modern amenities. And that’s just the beginning.
The Historic Highlights of Germany showcase the zeitgeist from ancient Roman times to the present day. Urban lifestyle meets over 2,000 years of art, monuments, and architecture.
Let’s not forget Gemütlichkeit, the German word for hospitality from within: best experienced in a café, restaurant, at the farmer’s market, or at an event. Sample delicious classics like Bratwurst and Schnitzel, as well as a taste of seasonal vegetables and sweet treats. Cheer at beloved beer or wine festivals, traditionally celebrated, but also with new twists and glorious views. Countless events are celebrated year-round across our cities – with Christmas and Easter markets being just two of hundreds of irresistible occasions to become part of the community.
