Germany
Castles, Christmas markets and thoughtful cities.
Germany rewards a slow wander, medieval old towns, hilltop castles and cosy cafés tucked down cobbled lanes. Nuremberg is a favourite of ours, from the Kaiserburg looking out over red rooftops to the winding streets of the Altstadt.
Highlights
- Climbing up to Nuremberg's Kaiserburg castle
- Cobbled lanes and gabled houses in the Altstadt
- Christmas markets, glühwein and lebkuchen
- Long, thoughtful walks between city landmarks
A few honest tips
- ✦Wrap up warm in winter, the wind cuts through the old town squares.
- ✦Trains between German cities are fast and comfy, book ahead on Deutsche Bahn for the best fares.
