Europe · Destination guide
Castles, Christmas and the open autobahn.
Germany rewards travellers who like their holidays well-made: castles above river bends, cities that wear their history honestly, Alpine lakes, autobahn road trips and — every December — the Christmas markets by which all others are measured. It is Europe’s most underrated family destination, with theme parks and science museums to prove it.
Munich makes the natural gateway: beer gardens and Alpine day trips, Neuschwanstein an easy excursion. Berlin offers the deeper story, the Black Forest the prettiest drives, and the Rhine the castles. In winter, pick any city with a market square and follow the cinnamon.
Where to go
Beer gardens, Alpine lakes and Neuschwanstein’s towers.
