Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne are the biggest in the country! The offerings vary in terms of culture, entertainment and food. There is something for every taste. And for a long stay…
Berlin: Everything but the ordinary

The capital of 3.6 million is not only the capital of the Federal Republic (must: Reichstag dome), but also the capital of creative people (must: Berlin Fashion Week). It is not without reason that Berlin was the first representative of Germany to be included in the “Creative Cities Network” of UNESCO. The so-called “City of Designers” is also very popular with domestic and international tourists. This is certainly also due to the history of events of separation and reunification, which is not only visible at the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie. The colorful mix of nations, cultures and ideas is also unique. And a kebab on every corner! 26 Michelin stars make the city of Spree a culinary mecca. Chic and alternative are not opposites, just as new and old are not opposites. This is especially evident between the modern Potsdamer Platz, the beautiful Unter den Linden boulevard and the ever-expanding Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site as “Settlements of Berlin Modernism”.
Hamburg: The pleasure of the quality of the sea
Hamburg: Elbphilharmonie and cruise ship “Mein Schiff”

A unique location on the Elbe and Alster. It’s crowded around the Reeperbahn. World famous songs. Altona fish market. Michel, as North Germany’s most important church is called: All this ensures that Hamburg is equally appreciated by culture fans and spectators of all ages. Also because there is always something new being done between the stylish Nordic Wilhelminian houses and the popular theaters. Sometimes other types like “in der Schanze”, sometimes modern like HafenCity, the main name Elbphilharmonie. Right next door, Speicherstadt, which has been declared a World Heritage Site, is not only home to brick warehouses, but also the world’s largest railway, a “Miniatur Wunderland”. The museum ships “Rickmer Rickmers” and “Cap San Diego”, moored near the jetties, are very large. Ferries leave from the XXL port and also catamarans to Heligoland. Seaside atmosphere in the heart of Hamburg!
Munich: Lakes and sights

The Bavarian capital has a somewhat similar relationship with FC Bayern. Others are passionate fans, attracted by modern achievements such as FCB home base Allianz Arena, BMW World of the future, airports, get drunk at Oktoberfest, the world’s biggest festival with advertising agents of the world’s first class, and appreciate the opera, the Pinakothek, and the English Garden. The fact that Munich is always at the top of livable quality lists is due to the nearby lakes and mountains (swimming! hiking! skiing!). But there are also those who struggle with expensive prices and luxury. Both are true: “Minga” may be richer and less interesting than the competition, but it is culturally still, see also the Residenz, the Nymphenburg Palace and the Deutsches Museum, which is a museum of the greatest history in the world. Yes, and thanks to the renovated areas of the Isar, Olympic Park, pleasant beer gardens, Föhn climate and many Italian traditions, the name “city of northern Italy” is correct.
Cologne: More than a carnival
Cologne: Crane Houses on the Rhine

Since 2010, the metropolis of the Rhine has also been playing in the field of German cities. At the famous Cologne Carnival, it felt like at least a few people were out on the beautiful streets of the old town. The combination of Rhine excitement and lively pub culture (keyword: Kölsch beers) also attracts crowds of expats. Not just between Women’s Carnival and Ash Wednesday. The (party) crowd is also increasing more and more on the banks of the wonderful Rhine. Several beach clubs are located on the river and there has always been a lot of activity on the water, especially between the Hohenzollern Bridge, which is decorated with about 450,000 love locks, and the Deutzer Bridge – a variety of recreational activities start running to the street music to the terrace dining around the XXL open terrace “Rhine Boulevard” at the foot of the “KölnTriangle” skyscraper. From its observation deck, the view of the cathedral, perhaps Germany’s most famous architectural monument, with its 157-meter towers and the largest cathedral in the world, is magnificent. The Roman-German Museum, just one of the top number of museums, provides an overview of the city’s history, which spans more than 2,000 years.
