Generally speaking, Germany enjoys warm summers full of sunshine, and there are some picturesque parts of the country within easy reach of its main cities.
Keep reading below to discover a little bit more about German city breaks to whet your appetite for what awaits.
* Hamburg
Hamburg is the second biggest city in Germany, and well known for its port. It’s a multicultural place for a city break, and going in the summer is perfect for relaxing in the new waterfront district with a cold drink while you watch the world go by.
With lake cruises, great shopping, plenty of lively bars and first-rate restaurants, it’s a surprise that city breaks to Hamburg aren’t more popular with UK visitors.
* Munich
At the opposite end of the country from Hamburg, you’ll find Munich; world famous for the Oktoberfest beer festival which attracts people from all over the world each year.
There’s more to Munich than the beer though; it’s a charming city that encapsulates the old and new perfectly. It’s very much a traditional German city, but still has the things you’d expect from a modern European destination. City breaks to Munich will open your eyes to a place with real character and charm.
* Berlin
In the east of Germany, close to the border with Poland, you’ll find the capital city Berlin. City breaks to Berlin are always popular and this is a city like no other. It has a vibe all of its own.
It reflects its history with a plethora of museums, while at the same time has a lively and bustling pub and cafe culture.
The TV tower in Berlin is a must-visit if you want panoramic views of the city and beyond. There is still part of the wall remaining too, if you want to have your picture taken with a little piece of history.
* Cologne
River cruises, beautiful buildings & churches, as well as the Christmas markets are all reasons people flock from the UK on city breaks to Cologne every year.
You’ll find Cologne in the west of Germany, a short trip from Dusseldorf. In addition to the things listed above, the Old Town and Cologne Carnival are other reasons people go to Cologne on city breaks.
The Co-operative Travel has a number of great value for money city breaks to Germany and other European countries. You can book cheap holidays through their website to destinations all over the world.
