Spiced sausages, frothy ales, rich cakes… German cuisine is hard to resist and we’ll show you where to find all the best eats in the country.
The German pretzel in its original home is on many foodie bucket lists, and we’ll let you in on all the best pretzel stands across the country. This salty, fluffy, knotted treat is best eaten in the morning when they’re fresh and warm, but we also love to wash them down with an afternoon ale.
The sugar-obsessed will rejoice at this donut-like pastry made from sweet yeast dough and baked with a filling like jam, chocolate, vanilla cream or even eggnog during the festive season. Incredibly addictive, you won't be able to stop at just one.
Here’s some stats to boggle your mind - over 50% of Germany’s breweries are in Bavaria, with around 40 types of beer and over 4,000 brands of Bavarian beer. Feel overwhelmed? We’ll guide you through the frothy goodness, as we hop through the best beer halls to sample the cream of the crop.
Germany is a must-visit all year round. Explore the cities in summer, see the golden leaves of the Black Forest in autumn, or get festive in winter at the famous Christmas markets.
Ready to get festive? December is the best time to experience Germany’s yuletide cheer and explore the magical Christmas markets, filled with handcrafted toys, mulled wine and delicious treats under sparkling lights.
Germany's beautiful Black Forest region is a must-visit all year round, from pretty blooms of spring and the golden leaves of autumn.
From Frankfurt to Cologne, you’ll have plenty of fantastic cities to explore on your trip to Germany. We love visiting in the shoulder months of April, May, September and October when crowds are fewer and the weather is warm.
Many visitors to Germany love to dress up in dirndls and lederhosen, but make sure you ask a local on the right way to wear these traditional costumes.
Tap water is safe to drink in Germany , so bring a reusable bottle and reduce your plastic waste. It'll come in handy for when you're hitting the streets of Berlin or walking through the Black Forest.
Littering is particularly frowned upon in Germany, so say no to plastic packaging and bring your own reusable bags and bottles when you visit Germany.
