Germany

Germany is the third most attractive destination in the world. It ranks high in cultural resources, ranked 4th for 32 world heritage cultural sites and second for the number of international fairs and exhibitions held in the country.

The country's infrastructure is among the best in the world, ranked 5th for the quality of its ground transport infrastructure and 7th for its air transport infrastructure.

Germany is one of the crown jewels of travel and our opinion seems to be in favor, as Germany is one of the leading tourist destinations worldwide.   Scenic landscapes, beautiful villages, quaint castles and a profound sense of history are just a few of the reasons travelers are attracted to this delightful country.  Germany's industrious culture mixes the old with the new, the common with the technologically innovative and, in the process, manages to create a country that is both unique and impressive.

Germany scores better than Switzerland and Austria for the policy rules and regulations in the travel and tourism industry. It has a transparent policy-making system, well protected property rights, and bilateral Air Service Agreements that are assessed as open. The country has good quality of transport infrastructure.

Germany Sightseeing

Bavarian Alps

Forming a long natural divide along the Austrian border, the Bavarian Alps are a strikingly attractive sight. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element, with skiing, hiking and canoeing options aplenty, while a selection of top-notch spas cater for those more intent on relaxation.

Berlin
The capital has a glut of iconic sights, from the stately Brandenburg Gate to the Norman Foster-redesigned Reichstag. For a vivid encounter with recent history, be sure to visit the Berlin Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie, where people crossed between the east and west of the city during partition.

Black Forest
No part of the German countryside is as storied as the Black Forest: a dense, green mountain range in the southwest. As well as its photogenic beauty and sky-high peaks, the forest is also home to a large number of small character-rich towns. 

Dresden
The Second World War left Dresden in a sorrowful state of ruin, but the city has recovered sufficiently to become a spirited and arty (not to mention good-looking) destination. Of most note is the resurrected Frauenkirche church, destroyed by firebombing but rebuilt to wonderful effect.

Essen
The European Capital of Culture for 2010 was once best known as being a mining town, but has since grown into a multicultural example of modern Germany, with a heavy emphasis on both industry and art. A fitting place to try and understand what makes the country tick.

Frankfurt
Frankfurt am Main is best known as a financial centre (its gleaming office-block skyline has been coined ‘Mainhattan’) but there’s much to draw cultural tourists too. Its historic core dates back to medieval times, and several attractive landmark buildings remain.

Hamburg
This northern port city is another with rich pickings for tourists. It’s the second largest metropolis in the country and, as a result, a colourful, cosmopolitan place to visit. Retrace the steps of The Beatles on the Reeperbahn, or dive into the wealth of heritage sites.

Heidelberg
Boasting a glorious woodland setting on the broad Neckar River, Heidelberg draws large numbers of visitors with its mixture of historical attractions and annual events. The town has a history of drawing academics, and is famed for its riverside Philosophers’ Walk (Philosophenweg).

The Rhine
The Rhine (spelt Rhein in German) is one of the longest rivers in Europe, and one of its most impressive to boot. Take a cruise from Koblenz past fairytale castles, pretty villages and the imposing Lorelei Rock, legendary home of a siren who lures boatmen to their demise.

Weimar
A must for culture vultures. The southern 1,000-year-old town of Weimar has been home to many great men, including Goethe, Luther, Bach, Liszt, Wagner and Schiller. An important creative centre of the past, the city experienced its golden age in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Austria

Austria ranks high in the quality of environmental regulation. They also score high in safety and security, with very low crime and violence, and reliable police services. They hold the top two spots in the area of natural and cultural resources attributable to several World Heritage sites. 

In the very heart of Europe, Austria is a country which could have been created with activity holidays in mind. It is a land of majestic mountains, tranquil lakes, fast flowing rivers and streams, deep forests, undulating meadows, charming village which cling fiercely to their architectural traditions and cultural heritage and cities which still reflect the artistic grandeur of the old Austro Hungarian empire.

A visit to Austria provides the opportunity to see stunning mountain vistas, explore beautiful pastoral landscapes, discover world-famous cities and walk in the footsteps of history. 

Austria is a destination that has much to offer and like a good wine, is a destination that you should "savor". We recommend that you sample the local cuisine, try Austrian beers and wines, and attend the opera or a symphony to listen to the classical music for which this country is so well known (although all types of music are popular in Austria).
