Top Things To See

Top Things To See: • Stroll around Berlin, Germany’s largest city and capital (website: www.berlin.de/english). The new GermanParliament(Reichstag), designed by British architect Norman Foster, testifies to the construction boom in the German capital (website: www.bundestag.de).

• Don’t miss the BrandenburgGate, at the western end of UnterdenLinden, potent symbol of German unity, which stands close to the Reichstag, right by where the wall stood until 1989.

• Visit the BerlinWallMuseum(Mauermuseum) at CheckpointCharlie, where people crossed from West to East and vice versa, and learn about the history of divided Berlin (website: www.mauermuseum.de).

• Take a cruise on the Rhine from Koblenz (website: www.koblenz.de), with its hilltop fortifications opposite the mouth of the Moselle river to Bingen, past fairytale castles, pretty villages and 120m- (394ft-) high LoreleiRock, legendary home of a siren who lures boatmen to their demise.

• Head into southwest Bavaria near Füssen, close to the Austrian border, to see the impossibly fantastical Neuschwanstein castle (website: www.neuschwanstein.com), built in the 19th century by Bavarian King Ludwig II (‘Mad King Ludwig’).

• Visit the attractive island of Mainau on the north shore of Lake Constance, with its historic buildings and multicoloured roofs. Owned by a private foundation, it is maintained as a garden island and is famous for its flowers (website: www.mainau.de).

• Marvel at the architecture of CologneCathedral, which remained intact despite suffering 14 bomb hits in WWII. Construction of Germany’s biggest church began in 1248, but it was not completed for 600 years.

• Visit one of Germany’s host of romantic university towns. Freiburg (website: www.freiburg.de) is gateway to the BlackForest, with its gothic Cathedral (12th to 15th centuries) with magnificent tower. Heidelberg on the NeckarRiver is Germany’s oldest university town (website: www.cvb-heidelberg.de).

• Experience architectural heritage in one of Germany’s UNESCO World Heritage Site towns: Bamberg, northern Bavaria (website: www.bamberg.info), Goslar in Lower Saxony (website: www.goslar.de), and the jewel in the crown, former Hanseatic port Lübeck, on the Baltic coast to the north (website: www.luebeck-tourism.de), are highlights.

• In Hessen, (website: www.hessen-tourismus.de) follow the GermanFairyTaleRoad. Schwalmstadt (website: www.schwalmstadt.de) was the home of LittleRedRidingHood. In the Reinhardswald, Sababurg (now a castle-hotel, website: www.sababurg.de) inspired the Brothers Grimm to write SleepingBeauty.

• Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of FrankfurtamMain’s historic Römer district, which contrasts starkly with the modern skyline of the city nowadays known as ‘Mainhattan’, due to its shiny skyscrapers and financial power (website: www.frankfurt.de).

• Relive the days of the Roman Empire at the Saalburg, a reconstructed Roman settlement near BadHomburg in the forested Taunus hills to the north of Frankfurt am Main (website: www.saalburgmuseum.de).

• Pause for thought at Dresden’s reconstructed Frauenkirche, destroyed in the firebombing of the city in February 1945. Now rebuilt and re-consecrated, it is a poignant symbol of the past (website: www.frauenkirche-dresden.de).

• See the southern 1,000-year-old town of Weimar, home to many great men, including Goethe, Luther, Bach, Liszt, Wagner and Schiller. An important cultural centre of the past, the city experienced its golden age in the 18th and 19th centuries (website: www.weimar.de).

• Take a train ride east from Freiburg into the spectacular countryside of the Upper Black Forest, a year round holiday area, popular for winter sports in winter, and walking, boating and nature trails in summer.
