Introduction
Germany is centrally located in Western Europe and offers all kinds of holiday options from sandy beaches to mountain peaks and ancient cultural cities. With Berlin as the capital and with million size cities like Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, new historical sights can always be found in the country.
Berlin is one of Europe's great and exciting capitals. For centuries and not least in the 20th century, the city was the center of World politics, and the formerly divided city is today both old and modern at the same time. And still with its great history visible all over the Berlin neighborhoods.
Cologne Cathedral, Neuschwanstein Castle, Dresden Baroque and Hamburg Harbor are some of the highlights of the land that kings and rulers have been regionally influencing for centuries. Their residences, castles, art collections and gardens are found all over Germany.
Germany is also an abundance of activities in nature. From the chalk cliffs of Rügen and the beaches of the Baltic and the North Sea shores in the north to the Alps in the south, and from Saxon Switzerland in the east to the Rhine River in the west, the variation in nature is immense and always very accessible.
