Germany - a year round holiday destination

Germany is a true all year round holiday destination. Warm summer weather showcases historic medieval villages and stunning castles at their best, whilst the delicious smells of gingerbread, roasting chestnuts and mulled wine will tempt your tastebuds at one of the many Christmas markets during winter.

Boasting more than 33 UNESCO World Heritage monuments and many world class events, including Munich's annual Oktoberfest, Germany offers something for everyone. From art to architecture, culture to cuisine, Germany has it covered.

With a relatively flat landscape, Germany is the ideal destination for cycling. Over 200 long distance cycle routes cover more than 70,000 kilometres of the country, linking cities, pretty little villages and areas of natural beauty.

As one of Europe's most important and influential countries, Germany's cities reflect a modern, thriving nation. Berlin was re-instated as the nation's capital after re-unification in 1990 and today is one of Europe's most cosmopolitan cities - and a must see on any visit to Germany.

The majestic River Rhine never fails to impress and today, luxury cruise ships ply their way along the vineyard covered banks, past castles and fortresses and romantic, cobble-stoned towns.

Lovers of the great outdoors will appreciate Bavaria’s Alps and lakes, and the beautiful Black Forest, whilst shoppers will be spoilt for choice in the thousands of boutiques, shopping malls and outlet centres throughout Germany.
