Destination Germany

Germany is one of Europe's most fascinating and varied destinations. For one, its cities are incredible: Berlin's hip status is assured thanks to a young, diverse population and a nightlife that makes London and New York look tame by comparison; Munich has retained its historic Bavarian charm; while Frankfurt's buzzing financial district and world-class museums bring their own brand of magic. Outside of the cities, the real Germany comes alive. Long-distance hikes in the spectacular Black Forest, refreshing swims in the lakes around the capital and sweeping sands on the northern coast all showcase an unexpected side of the country that's just waiting to be explored.
