I take you on a journey to the most beautiful cities in Germany. Who's joining?
If you plan a city trip together, the famous metropolises abroad are repeatedly mentioned as destinations. But also in Germany there are worth seeing cities, which can easily keep up with London, Madrid or Milan.
1. Hamburg
The fact that Hamburg is not only made up of the huge harbor and the sinful Reeperbahn, is proven by countless sights and diverse business opportunities in the Elbe metropolis. A shopping trip is just as possible as a varied sightseeing tour or a trip into the countryside. In addition, musical fans in Hamburg get their money's worth. So it is not surprising that Hamburg has established itself in recent years after New York and London as the third largest musical location in the world and the comparison with the foreign cities absolutely must not shy. The musicals and shows in Hamburg are as varied and entertaining as the city itself.
2. Erfurt
In Erfurt you will find the largest and best preserved old town in Germany. In the narrow streets, surrounded by medieval houses, you can experience the history of the city up close and forget the time. But in the end you will find yourself again and again in the city center of Erfurt, which is dominated by the cathedral and the Severikirche. Both buildings are located in the immediate vicinity of each other on the Domberg and can be reached via the steps built in the 15th century.
3. Stuttgart
The capital of Baden-Württemberg is indeed one of the most modern cities in the country, but is also characterized by magnificent, historic buildings. For example, here are the Old Palace and the New Palace or the castle Rosenstein call, all of which exude a special charm. The huge parks and the closeness to nature ensure that Stuttgart is also a popular travel and recreation destination for families with children.
4. Munich
The Munich Frauenkirche is considered one of the landmarks of the Bavarian metropolis and, together with numerous other attractions, ensures that Munich must be included in the list of the most beautiful cities in Germany. If you climb the south tower of the Frauenkirche, you can take a look over the metropolis from a height of almost one hundred meters, and even see the Alps in good weather. The closeness to nature and the unmistakable lifestyle of the people of Munich ensure an above-average quality of life. You can also convince yourself of this in the traditional beer garden, where locals and tourists come together and spend the evening together.
5. Münster
Since Münster anticipates the reputation as a cycling city, one explores the Westphalian city with almost 300,000 inhabitants ideally also sporty and environmentally friendly on two wheels. In particular, the historic old town with the Prinzipalmarkt, the Gothic town hall or the St. Paul's Cathedral is particularly impressive. Since many students live in Münster, especially young people will feel comfortable here, who probably appreciate the versatile and lively music and pub scene.
6. Bremen
Although there is much to discover in Bremen and even more to experience, the Hanseatic city and the smallest state in Germany at the same time is considered to be very tranquil. Reason for this are the many buildings in the style of the Weser Renaissance or the famous Schnoor district with its narrow streets. They all provide an idyllic overall impression and are reminiscent of the economically successful past of the Hanseatic city. Tourists should not miss the opportunity to pose in front of the statue of the Bremen Town Musicians for a photo.
7. Dresden
Elbflorenz - the widespread nickname of the Saxon capital has its justification. The resemblance of Dresden to the Tuscan capital of Florence becomes particularly clear when one considers the architectural style and the comparable artistic and cultural treasures of the two cities. In particular, the Semperoper, the Frauenkirche and the Zwinger are among the most famous buildings in the city, where you can experience art, culture and history up close. But beyond that, Dresden can also convince in other ways: the Elbwiesen extend for more than 20 kilometers through the city and in the midst of Dresden are even bird and nature reserves, which is why it is one of the greenest cities in Germany.
8. Freiburg
You do not necessarily have to travel abroad to get sunshine on vacation. A city trip to Freiburg is completely enough to experience an almost Mediterranean climate. Not for nothing Freiburg is considered the city with the most hours of sunshine in Germany. But not only because of the weather attracts many tourists to Breisgau. Attractions such as the Freiburg Minster, the historic department store or the Alte Wache in combination with the unique flair of the city and the relaxed lifestyle of the inhabitants make for a varied day in Freiburg. If you want to fly to Freiburg, you should definitely inform yourself beforehand how to get from 50 minutes away EuroAirport Basel-Mühlhausen-Freiburg into the city center. In addition to the existing bus and train connections, a rental car can be a worthwhile alternative, especially if you also want to explore the equally interesting surrounding area.
9. Berlin
With around 160 museums, Berlin can be described not only as a political but also as a cultural capital of the state. Although many only think of gray prefabricated buildings, Berlin should not be missing in the list of the most beautiful cities in Germany. While the Berlin Cathedral is one of the architectural highlights, the Nikloai district is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. Located on the banks of the Spree, the medieval townships make for a true small-town idyll, which forms an impressive contrast to the fast-paced everyday life in the metropolis.
10. Nürnberg
Many say that the city of Nuremberg has an above-average quality of life, something everyone should convince themselves about. In any case, there is also outside of Christmas time with the famous Christmas market to discover something. The ideal starting point for a sightseeing tour is the main market, in the immediate vicinity of which are the Lorenzkirche, the Old Town Hall and the Frauenkirche. A walk through the romantic streets quickly reveals why Nuremberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. There are also numerous opportunities to fortify yourself with a traditional Nuremberg Rostbratwurst for the rest of the day.
