Tourist Attractions in GermanyWhy is Germany such a favourite tourist destination? It is the variety of attractions in my opinion.From the sea & lowlands in the north, the rolling hills in the centre, and down to the Alps in the south, the stunning scenery never gets boring.

Three cities have a population of more than 1 million, do you know which German cities these are? Some of our holiday regions and theme tourist routes are well-known around the world, while other destinations are even unknown for many Germans. Let me show you my favourite cities & towns, the places where I love to spend my holidays. Related Pages: Black Forest

Germany Facts - Culture and TraditionsWhen we think of culture, topics like literature, theatre and opera come to mind. Lessons at school cover Goethe, Schiller and the Grimm Brothers, famous philosophers, composers and painters. However, the Oktoberfest tradition, arts & crafts, architecture, and "kitschy" things like the cuckoo clock and the garden gnome, belong to the rich German culture and customs as well. German Christmas markets and customs go back to the middle ages, and many tradtions have made their way to other countries around the world. Related Pages: Grimm Brothers
