See World Class Museums in Germany
Last but not least, you’ll see incredible museums in Germany. You’ll learn a ton not only about Germany’s history, but you’re also able to visit extensive treasuries and art collections.
One of my greatest memories (in the heatwave, haha) took place on Museum Island in Berlin. These museums create a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s easy to understand why this area was given that honor. Here, you can see the legendary bust of Egypt’s Queen Nefertiti and Pergamon Altar and the stunning Ishtar Gate. You can easily spend hours on Museum Island alone.
Keep in mind that Germany not only has great cities. In addition, the country is home to plenty of nature wonders for passionate hikers and nature photographers.
Germany’s National Parks are especially gorgeous in the summer months.
Everyone’s heard of Black Forest National Park, which is one of the most famous areas in all of Germany, but other less visited options exist! You can plan a trip entirely consisting of national parks.
Communal Beer Gardens Are Lots of Fun
Hahaha, of course, one of the first reasons to visit Germany involves beer. I know. What a total cliche, right?
I have to admit though, even if you don’t drink, the communal beer gardens are a great place to chill out, eat a hearty meal, and connect with other people. They’re super fun for everyone, including solo female travelers like myself.
Personally, I had an especially great time at the bustling Hofbrauhaus in Munich, although it’s immensely touristy. However, it’s easy enough to find quiet and more subdued beer gardens if that atmosphere fits your style better.
So don’t skip the beer gardens!
