Have you ever traveled to Germany? Surely you have been able to see some of its main cities, tourist places and full of history that go a long way on a getaway. If we were to make a list of german cities that we want to visit now, these ten are sure to be among the first. Because there are many more, but we have limited ourselves to ten.
Germany is a European country with a great history, where tourism is not as decisive in its economy as in other countries, but it certainly has a lot to offer to those who decide to spend their vacations in the country. We will see which are the ten essential cities to visit in Germany.
Munich
Munich, located in the state of Bavaria, is one of those cities where it takes more than two days to see the main thing. Among its main attractions is the Hofbräuhaus brewery, which for many years was the center of public life in the city and a meeting place. It is a historical place, since characters like Lenin passed through it, and it is also a beautiful space. On the other hand, in Munich we have many religious buildings, such as the church of San Miguel, that of Asam or the cathedral. This city also offers the BMW factory or its old town, with the Marienplatz and the town halls.
Berlin
In the capital of Germany you should not miss its famous Brandenburg Gate, the old gateway to Berlin and its main symbol. Knowing the history of the city goes by going to the famous Berlin Wall, especially in its part of the East Side Gallery, an open-air art gallery. Nor should you miss the central Alexanderplatz or the beautiful Berlin Cathedral with its green dome. It is possible to visit the Reichstag, where the Parliament is located, by arranging a prior visit.
Hamburg
Hamburg is a city that was badly damaged by the bombings in the Second World War, but that has been reborn to become an interesting and vibrant place. Its commercial port is very busy, but it is also a tourist city where we can enjoy the funny wunderland, a museum of miniatures for the whole family, or the beautiful town hall square, with its old buildings. If you want to have fun, do not miss the Reeperbahn street and for a day of rest visit the Planten un Blomen park.
Frankfurt
The most important city in the federal state of Hesse, known as Frankfurt am Main. In this city we can visit the goethe house, the historic Römerberg square where the famous Christmas market is held or see the Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew, in the Gothic style. To have a panoramic view of the city we can visit the Torre de Meno, a public observatory. Museums, the zoo or the Palm Garden are also essential.
Neighborhood
If Colonia is known for anything, it is for its famous cathedral from the High Gothic period. Its entrance is free, although it is not possible to do tourism during religious services. What it costs is the climb to the towers, to enjoy an incredible view of the city. In Cologne you can also enjoy several museums, such as the one inspired by the Eau de cologne or the chocolate museum.
Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is a quiet city located on the banks of the Rhine. In it you can enjoy a pleasant walk through its old town, known as Old City. Here you can see the Castle Square or the town hall building.The Rheinturm is the huge tower on the banks of the Rhine from which you can enjoy spectacular views of the city. In addition, this city has a small beach on the banks of the river, so it does not lack for anything.
Dresden
The city of Dresden or Dresden can be visited in one day, and has its old town area and the new town. Its historic area is the most beautiful in the city, with the Frankirche, a baroque church completed in 2005 or the Neumarkt square. You also have to visit the inside of the Royal Palace with the Treasury museum.
Nuremberg
This city, which was reborn after the Second World War, is known beyond the famous trials of the leaders of the National Socialist party for crimes committed against humanity. In this city you can visit the house where Albrecht Dürer was born, or take a leisurely stroll through the old town, with well-kept houses that offer an almost magical setting. You should not miss visiting the Imperial Castle or its beautiful churches.
Hanover
In this city of Lower Saxony we can also make a getaway to see its corners and places of interest in a few days. One of the things that most attracts attention is your town hall, a building that looks more like a castle. In the city there are also several museums and a zoo.
Leipzig
In Leipzig you have to look for the steps of the Bach life. In the Thomaskirche he composed much of his work and ended up being buried there. In addition, very close is the Bach Museum. It is a very cultural city in which people move by tram or bicycle and Markplatz is the main square of its old town.
