When I was younger, I backpacked through Germany. I got to stay in castles that were also hostels. That was pretty cool. It looks like you captured a lot of what makes Germany a great place to visit.
Thank you so much Nicole! 🙂
One of the places in my travel bucket list and thanks for this info. It will go a long way when I plan my itinerary.
Thank you Priyam! 🙂
I love Germany too. Was there in May earlier this year. And yes, I loved those fairytale castles and the lush green scenery. Definitely, a great place to be. I would add some amazing food to my list too. 🙂
We missed on trying a lot of their local cuisine as we could hardly find any vegetarian food there!!
Although I went to Berlin last year, I still haven’t sampled hardly any of the things you’ve listed – not even the nightlife! I made friends with some German girls when I was last on holiday in Turkey, and I would love to go and visit them to explore more areas of Germany, so maybe I can suggest some of these things and see what they think about me paying a little visit 😉 x
Thank you Becca! 🙂
Germany is beautiful indeed! Full of great places to do outdoor adventures. But I think one of the must-visit places for me is their tank museum. I’m an avid modeler, and one of my favorite modeling subjects is making miniatures of German WW2 tanks.
We have never before heard about this tank museum! Thank you so much for mentioning it 🙂
I would like to get to know about nightlife in Germany. Loved it in Berlin, but haven’t been there for long. Othewise was to many cute small towns, that don’t have nightlife.
Nightlife is amazing in Germany especially all the music festivals happening there 🙂
I totally wish to visit Germany soon. This winter I am coming to Berlin from December 28th to January 1st. the activities you mentioned to do in Germany are really nice. But can you be specific what can be done exactly in the winter time in Berlin?
The best will be the Christmas Markets in December. That would quite a unique experience.
Oh those castles are always so adorable. They look like the perfect place to go explore
Yea German Castles are very charming and a must visit!
I’ve been to Germany many times, but yet seen a fairytale castle! What’s wrong with me! It’s really a wonderful country to visit, and with so many great sights to see. I’ll definitely check out nightlife and river cruise the next time I’m there.
Oh, you must visit the Bavarian fairytale castle, they are simply stunning!
Been to Germany quite a few times and would definitely go back! Even if it’s just for the Christmas markets!! There’s also a Teledisko in Berlin which is hilarious and you need to look it up if you haven’t already!
HAven’t heard about it but we will definitely look it up, thanks for the suggestions :).
Germany is amazing, rich of awesome landscapes and good food and tons of beers. I’ve enjoyed Germany as well this year and I will return soon.
Lucky you! Have an amazing time in this gorgeous country :).
Over 20000 castles and that too amidst the woods! This is what captured my attention. If not for anything else, I am so inclined to visit Germany to see these castles! And I would also love to try out skydiving there. Germany definitely looks beautiful and a great country to visit.
Castles were the highlight of our trip too. Surely it would be amazing to explore each one of them.
Amazing! Germany is so nice! I love the castles! One of the things that I would visit there are the tank/WW2 museums because I build models of WW2 vehicles.
Wow, thats really interesting! Haven’t been to WW2 museums but now I will definitely will check them out.
