I love how Germany mixes age-old traditions with progressive ideals — from charming villages, moody forests, and romantic river valleys to vineyards, half-timbered towns, and the majestic Alps. With half my family living here, I’ve visited many times, and beyond Berlin, these are the places I think are the true gems…
1. Rothenburg ob der Tauber and The Romantic Road, Northern Bavaria
I’ve mentioned this first because I personally thought it was the most enchanting town in the entire country — dating back to 1274, it felt like stepping into an illustrated storybook with cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and the iconic Plönlein corner that looked even prettier in person.
I flew into Nuremberg from the UK, rented a car, and followed the scenic Romantic Road — a beautiful 1.5-hour drive through the postcard-pretty Franconian countryside. I spent three nights in Rothenburg, I walked the medieval walls, explored the Market Square, and devoured sugar-dusted Schneeballen pastries before visiting the quirky Christmas Museum. Then I carried on past vineyards and castle-topped hills towards Dinkelsbühl and Harburg Castle.
Location: Franconia region of Bavaria, overlooking the Tauber River (part of the scenic Romantic Road – a 350km tourist route)view on map
Population size: around 11,350
My personal highlights…
Staying at the characterful 4-star Hotel Reichsküchenmeister — I loved its creaky beams, antique armor, and vintage tapestries, and my hearty breakfast of Tauber Valley honey with strong Franconian coffee!
2. Neuschwanstein Castle, Southern Bavaria
I couldn’t help but be swept up in the magic of Neuschwanstein Castle – with its soaring turrets, mist-draped alpine backdrop, and 19th-century Romanesque Revival design, it was easy to see why this fairytale fortress inspired Disney’s castle. Commissioned by King Ludwig II in 1869, its white limestone walls and ornate interiors looked even more dreamlike against the rugged Bavarian Alps.
I drove two hours south from Munich, stayed overnight at the gorgeous AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa in Hohenschwangau village, and took the shuttle bus to the castle. I joined a guided tour through the king’s lavish bedroom and grand Singers’ Hall, then hiked to Marienbrücke for that postcard-perfect view of the castle framed by mountains — worth every step! Tickets sold out fast, so I was glad I’d booked early.

My highlights..
Browsing the quirky courtyard gift shop, which smelled of polished wood and overflowed with medieval treasures from woven tapestries to gleaming pocket watches!
3. Regensburg, Eastern Bavaria
Our drone shot of the city of Regensburg – it was incredible to capture the river, the striking red rooftops, and twin towers of St. Peter’s Cathedral in this UNESCO-listed Old Town.My photo of Regensburg streets in December – it was a magical time of year to visit!
I took this shot of Neupfarr Church Regensburg – the architecture here was so striking!
I’m always charmed by this UNESCO World Heritage city — every time I visit (which is often!) it feels fairytale-like with its medieval Old Town, pastel houses lining cobblestone lanes and elegant architecture. I’ve crossed the historic Stone Bridge to gaze at the Danube views, admired the Gothic spires of St. Peter’s Cathedral, and love how the city feels just as magical under twinkling Christmas lights as it does in the summer sunshine!
Only a 1.5-hour drive from Munich, I found out for myself just how super-charming it was all year round — from sipping cold Spital Hell beer at the riverside Spitalgarten Beer Garden on warm evenings to soaking up the festive vibe at the Thurn und Taxis Palace Christmas Market, where the air was filled with the cozy scent of cinnamon, woodsmoke, and roasted nuts!

Population size: around 159,000
My highlights…
Staying at the unique 4-star Hotel Bischofshof am Dom — I adored its grand historic setting and lively beer garden where waitresses in colorful dirndls served frosty Ayinger Bräuweisse straight from the tap!
My video of beautiful Regensburg (which went viral!) – with breathtaking drone footage and my magical Christmas Market moments!
4. The Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg
I completely fell for this mysterious land of cuckoo clocks and Black Forest cherry gâteaux — with its sprawling mountain ranges, misty hills, dark evergreen forests, and pretty half-timbered villages, it felt like wandering through a painting come to life. With its folklore-steeped vibe, I could easily see why it inspired the Brothers Grimm!
I flew into Stuttgart, rented a car, and based myself for a week at the Instagrammable 4-star Schwarzwald Panorama Hotel, hiking the scenic trails of Feldberg (the forest’s highest peak) and soaking in pine-scented vistas. I also visited the quirky German Clock Museum, soaked in Baden-Baden’s mineral-rich baths, and cruised the epic Schwarzwaldhochstraße scenic drive through a spectacular sea of black firs!

My favourite highlights…
Catching the Zapfle-Bahnle train — I loved feeling the breeze in the vintage open-air carriages, smelling geraniums and petunias spilling from baskets, and passing the quaint stops with their old-fashioned station signs!
5. Bamberg, Northern Bavaria
My photo of Bamberg – I loved capturing the famous view of the city!My Instagram shot of Bamberg River – I could have spent all day here, Bamberg’s riverside was straight out of a postcard!
Bamberg was one of the most photogenic towns I came across in Germany — its UNESCO-listed Old Town brimmed with medieval and Baroque architecture, half-timbered houses, and cobblestone streets that all felt wonderfully stuck-in-time. I found it quieter and more traditional than Regensburg, and I enjoyed the slow paced vibe here. After driving 1.5 hours from Munich I settled for a long weekend in the beautiful 4-star Altstadthotel Messerschmitt,
I crossed the bridge to the whimsical Altes Rathaus teetering above the river, admired the pretty rose gardens beside the ornate Bamberg Cathedral, meandered through the maze of cobbled Old Town lanes, and drifted into charming Little Venice. and ended my day in the perfect way – with a smoky Rauchbier in the historic Schlenkerla brewery!

Population size: around 79,000
My favourite highlights…
Dining on vegan dumplings with creamy dill sauce at Zapfhahn a cozy, wood-beamed tavern where sustainable food felt strangely right at home amid centuries of Bavarian tradition!
6. Lake Königssee, Southern Bavaria
I have to say, I thought Lake Königssee was one of the most beautiful lakes in the entire country — its vast, aquamarine waters framed by the majestic Bavarian Alps, secluded pebble beaches, and the iconic St. Bartholomew’s Chapel completely entranced me! It felt serene and almost otherworldly; I just stopped, gazed, and took it all in!
I drove three hours from Munich to Berchtesgaden for a blissful five days, staying nearby and taking a quiet electric boat ride to the chapel, where its domed red roof shimmered in the glassy waters. I tackled the surrounding alpine trails, shouted across the famed Echo Wall, and rode the cable car up Jenner Mountain and was treated to Insta-worthy, cinematic views!
Staying at the nearby 4-star EDELWEISS Hotel and Spa – I indulged in a relaxing hayflower wrap — my therapist told me the flowers were locally grown and rich in anti-inflammatory properties, which made the experience feel wonderfully rooted in the region!
7. Bavarian Forest National Park, Southeastern Bavaria
I took this while walking through the Bavarian Forest during the winter – the scenery was just extraordinary!My snap of the Bavarian Forest trees – it felt like a postcard!
I completely fell for this Instagram-worthy gem when I visited in winter — Germany’s first national park, the Bavarian Forest National Park (established in 1970), unfolded like a tranquil, snow-draped wilderness filled with pristine forests, clear streams, and shy woodland creatures. Its grounding, almost surreal tranquility made me feel very immersed in nature!
I drove just over 1 hour and 40 minutes from my family’s hometown of Mallasdorf and stayed a night at the wellness-focused 4-star Hotel Eibl-Brunner, cautiously wandering the frozen treetop walk in Neuschönau, visiting the interesting Hans-Eisenmann-Haus Visitor Centre and capturing endless shots of the atmospheric snow-laden trees. The trails were icy, so I was glad I’d packed sturdy boots and trekking poles!
Location: southeastern Germany along the border with the Czech Republic, in the state of Bavaria view on map
Size: around 24,250 hectares
Wildlife: lynx, wolves, European bison, deer, black stork, pygmy owl and the rare three-toed woodpecker.
My personal highlights..
Warming up with a shot of locally made plum schnapps in the visitor centre café — its sweet, fruity kick gave me just enough courage to step back out into the icy air!
8. The Rhine Valley, Rhineland‑Palatinate and Hesse
I discovered that The Rhine Valley, a UNESCO-listed gem, was breathtakingly picturesque — a region of vineyard-clad hills, fairytale castles, and medieval villages lining the winding Rhine, all wrapped in a tranquil, timeless atmosphere. I flew into Frankfurt, rented a car, and drove just over an hour and a half to the riverfront 4-star Hotel Schloss Rheinfels where I cruised the river, toured the impressive Marksburg and Rheinfels Castles, and explored the almost-too-pretty-to-be-real towns of Bacharach and Rüdesheim.
My favorite days were spent tracing the elevated Rheinsteig Trail past emerald-green vineyards, pausing at the fabled Lorelei Rock, and savoring chilled Rieslings in candle-lit taverns before ending each evening soaking in Wiesbaden’s mineral-rich thermal baths!
Location: Western Germany, stretching along the Rhine River between Koblenz and Bingen in Rhineland-Palatinate view on map
My personal highlights…
Sipping on an aromatic Schloss Johannisberg Riesling at the rustic-chic RheinWeinWelt in Rüdesheim — I loved smelling the heady aroma of fruity wine as I sampled self-service with a pre-loaded card!
9. Bremen, Lower Saxony
It didn’t take long for quaint Bremen to steal my heart — this 1,200-year-old city, famous for the Brothers Grimm tale The Bremen Town Musicians, spellbound me with its UNESCO-listed Market Square, half-timbered medieval buildings, and lively riverside promenade. I flew directly from London and spent a long weekend at the elegant 4-star Steigenberger Hotel Bremen, which was perfectly placed for exploring the Old Town.
I marveled at the ornate Town Hall and Bremen’s proud Roland Statue, lost myself in the cobbled lanes of the picturesque Schnoor Quarter, ambled down the vibrant Schlachte Promenade, and ended at the quirky Town Musicians Statue (of course)!
Location: On the Weser River, about 60 km (37 miles) south of Germany’s North Sea coastview on map

My favourite highlights…
Stumbling across the quirky Katzen-Café — I loved its cute paw-print cushions, leafy hanging plants, and the friendly cats padding past as I tucked into stuffed peppers with buttery, sage-smothered Bavarian potatoes!
10. The Moselle Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate
I couldn’t get over how beautiful the Moselle Valley wine region was — it had a easygoing, romantic vibe with vine-covered hills, winding river, and chocolate-box villages. I drove just under 40 minutes from my previous stop in the Rhine Valley and spent four days at the romantic 4-star Weinromantikhotel Richtershof.
From wandering Trier’s awe-inspiring Roman ruins and the intriguing Karl Marx House to sipping crisp Rieslings straight from the source, every moment in the Moselle Valley felt very special. Gliding down the Moselle by boat, climbing to the enchanting Burg Eltz Castle, and cycling past sunlit vineyards are memories that have truly stayed with me!
Location: Along the Moselle River between Trier and Koblenz, near the borders of Luxembourg and France view on map
My personal highlights…
Tasting delicately floral biodynamic Rieslings at the organic Weingut Rita & Rudolf Trossen — made without added sulfites, each sip had a clean, vibrant flavor with just a hint of minerality!
11. The Harz National Park, Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt
I personally thought Harz National Park was seriously spellbinding — a protected land of dense forests, dramatic mountains, and quiet valleys dotted with timber-framed villages and grand old castles. The whole region felt mystical and atmospheric, wrapped in mist and steeped in folklore, which made it even more magical. I took a three-hour train from Bremen to Wernigerode, then used local connections to explore the Harz towns and ride the historic Brocken Railway.
I based myself for three days at the Insta-worthy 4-star Hotel & Spa Suiten FreiWerk, and hiked up the mist-shrouded Brocken — northern Germany’s highest peak — and watched the steam engine curl through the forest on its climb. I also wandered the colorful half-timbered streets of pretty Wernigerode and Quedlinburg and followed hidden forest trails past rushing waterfalls.
Location: Central Germany, spanning Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt around the Harz Mountains view on map
Size: around 247 km²
My favourite highlights…
Riding the steam-powered Brocken Railway — the hiss of steam and coal-scented air followed us up to the summit, where panoramic views of jagged peaks and winding valleys were absolutely breathtaking!
12. Hohenschwangau Castle, Southern Bavaria
Perched at around 800 meters (2,620 feet) above sea level, the 19th-century Hohenschwangau Castle looked like it belonged in a fantasy film! Once the childhood home of King Ludwig II, its striking yellow façade stood out against the forest-covered Bavarian Alps, and its ornate interiors were adorned with poetic details, colorful frescoes, and intricate wood carvings. I visited while touring nearby Neuschwanstein Castle, and the whole place felt both very mysterious and romantic!
When I staying in Hohenschwangau village, I hiked the steep 15-minute path up to the castle and joined my pre-booked €27.50 guided tour (independent visits weren’t allowed) and admired the fourteen opulent rooms open to the public. I especially loved the gardens and terraces filled with fountains, sculptures, and gorgeous views over the Alps and Alpsee Lake – it was Bavarian charm turned up to eleven!
Location: In the Bavarian Alps near Füssen, close to the Austrian borderview on map
My personal highlights…
King Ludwig’s ornate carved wooden bedroom and the exotic Oriental Room, which had a lantern-lit glow and faint scent of polished wood that evoked a Middle Eastern bazaar!
13. Eibsee, Southern Bavaria
Framed by the mighty Zugspitze, Eibsee Lake shimmered in Insta-worthy hues of turquoise and green — a peaceful hideaway that felt worlds apart from city life! I loved how the pretty wooden boathouses dotted the shoreline, finishing the perfect picture-postcard look. I visited on a day trip from Munich, driving 1.5 hours south, and stayed for four nights at the idyllic 4-star Eibsee Hotel, where the lake views from my room were just divine!
I took a scenic boat ride to explore the tiny islands, hiked the lakeside trails, and even tried stand-up paddleboarding — rentals were available right on-site, making it easy to get out on the water. My favorite moments were simply gliding across the mirror-like lake surrounded by still forests and snow-dusted peaks!
Location: At the base of the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak, near the town of Grainau in southern Bavariaview on map
Size: around 177 hectares
My personal highlights…
Renting a €12-an-hour pedal boat from the lakeside station — gliding across the calm lake hearing nothing but the gentle lapping of waves was pure bliss!
14. Wurzburg Residence, Northern Bavaria
The Wurzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site completed in 1744, was a gem – its fine Baroque architecture, ornate frescoes, and opulent interiors were matched only by its beautifully landscaped court gardens. Walking through it felt like stepping back into the world of European aristocracy and courtly romance – seriously!
I stopped here while driving the northern part of the Romantic Road, paid the €10 entrance fee, and joined a guided tour to see the lavish rooms — each seemed more extravagant than the last! I made time to gaze at Tiepolo’s intricate frescoes, climb the dramatic grand staircase, meander the meticulously maintained gardens, and admire the Residence’s treasury filled with fine art and antique furniture – there was very impressive grandeur everywhere I looked!
Location: in the city of Würzburg, in the Franconia region of Bavaria view on map
Size: around 19,000 m²
My favourite highlights…
White Hall’s ornate stucco and the glowing Mirror Cabinet, which had mirrored walls and frescoes faintly scented of beeswax and old stone.
15. Lichtenstein Castle, Baden‑Württemberg
Perched 817 meters above the Echaz Valley, this 1840 neo-Gothic castle looked like it had leapt straight from the pages of Wilhelm Hauff’s Lichtenstein. With its elegant turrets, slender spires, and forested backdrop, Lichtenstein Castle was enchanting with a capital “E.” I stopped here as a detour during my Black Forest road trip before looping back to Stuttgart. Although privately owned, it was open to the public — I paid €12 and followed an English-translated brochure.
The interiors were spectacular, filled with intricately carved woodwork, stained-glass windows, antique furnishings, and medieval armor displays. Afterwards, I wandered through the landscaped gardens and along the winding paths, soaking up breathtaking views over the Swabian Alps!
Location: In the Swabian Alps near the village of Honau, Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany view on map
My highlights…
The Knight’s Hall which was a grand neo-Gothic room with dark wood paneling, glowing stained glass, and gleaming displays of perfectly preserved iron grey medieval armor!
16. Mittenwald, Southern Bavaria
This 17th-century Bavarian alpine town was a picture-perfect slice of alpine beauty – I discovered colorful timber houses painted with Lüftlmalerei murals, cobbled lanes, frescoed buildings, and the dramatic Karwendel Mountains as a backdrop, it all felt utterly charming and nostalgic!
Only a short 30-minute drive from Eibsee, Mittenwald instantly charmed me. I spent two blissful nights exploring its frescoed houses, the fascinating Geigenbaumuseum, and the exquisite St. Peter and Paul Church. After a morning hike through the wild Karwendel trails, I soared up the Karwendelbahn cable car to jaw-dropping 360° Alpine views — the kind that made me want to fill my phone with photos!
Location: Upper Bavarian Alps close to Austria, in the scenic Isar Valley surrounded by the Karwendel and Wetterstein Mountainsview on map
Population size: around 7,000
My favourite highlights…
Staying at the Insta-worthy 4-star Quartier – über Nacht in besonderer Architektur — I loved ending each day sipping on a piney, bittersweet Amaro Braulio that tasted like the Alps in a glass while gazing at the mountain views!
17. Sylt, Schleswig‑Holstein
I thought Sylt was one of Germany’s most unique and underrated gems — a windswept North Sea island dotted with thatched-roof cottages, chic resorts, and beaches that ranged from wide sandy stretches to secluded dune-backed coves. Though it’s been a luxurious retreat since the 19th century, it still had an under-the-radar feel that I adored.
In the summer, I took a three-hour train from Hamburg across the Hindenburgdamm causeway and spent a relaxing week at the stylish beachfront Hotel 54° Nord. I lounged on Westerland Beach, explored the tidal flats of untamed Wadden Sea National Park, indulged in spa sessions at Sylter Welle, dined on hearty potato gratin at Gosch, browsed the boutiques along Friedrichstraße, and sampled Kampen’s buzzy nightlife. It was the perfect mix of sophistication and laid-back island charm!

My favourite highlights…
Seeing the cliffs which lined the coast – they were slowly eroding so they were shaped into unique and striking patterns.
18. Sanssouci Castle, Brandenburg
Built in the 1740s as Frederick the Great’s summer residence, this magnificent Rococo palace completely dazzled me with its dreamy terraced vineyards, grand interiors, and impressive parkland dotted with fountains and elegant pavilions. Sanssouci Castle had such a regal, sunlit calm that it genuinely reminded me of the Palace of Versailles!
I took a 40-minute regional train from Berlin to Potsdam, walked just over 20 minutes to the entrance, and paid the €22 fee to explore the lavish rooms by audio guide tour — guided tours were also available. I wandered through the vast Sanssouci Park, paused by the beautiful fountain, admired the whimsical Chinese House, and even visited Cecilienhof Palace, where the historic Potsdam Conference took place. I completely underestimated the scale of it all though — by the end, my shoes (and my feet!) had survived nearly 10,000 steps of exploring!
Location: In Potsdam, Brandenburg, just outside Berlin view on map
My personal highlights…
The lavish Voltaire Room — its intricate stucco, cherub-filled frescoes, and grand marble fireplace made it feel like stepping into a Rococo masterpiece!
19. Görlitz, Saxony
With over a thousand years of history, this city radiated such charm and character, it was impossible not to fall for it — its Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture, elegant main square, and striking Peterskirche made it feel like walking through a living museum frozen in time. I’d read before my trip that Görlitz had been a filming location for The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Reader, The Last Command, and Inglourious Basterds — and as a film fan, that impressed me even more!
I took a 2.5-hour train from Dresden (after flying in from London) and stayed three nights at the historic 4-star Gut am See. I wandered the cobbled Old Town, admired the Silesian Museum, strolled through the riverside Stadtpark, and photographed the rainbow-hued Woad House before crossing the bridge into Zgorzelec, Poland, for a new perspective. I found it elegant, cinematic, and steeped in old-world charm!

My personal highlights…
Enjoying a frothy Viennese coffee and cinnamon-warm Apfelkuchen at Ratscafé Görlitz — I sat beneath stone arches and creaking beams, the sweet apple and coffee aromas mingling as locals chatted under antique lamps!

Heidelberg – baroque university charm along the Neckar River.
Lübeck – Brick-Gothic beauty steeped in maritime history.
Monschau – a gorgeous spa town tucked away in the Eifel hills.
Rems Valley – peaceful countryside dotted with picturesque vineyards.

25 thoughts on “19 Most Enchanting Places to Explore in Germany”
My favourite place is Neuschwanstein Castle, maybe because I lived nearby for a while and visited the location so often. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, I visited the Christmas market last December, it was great too, but I missed a bit of the atmosphere, maybe it was too crowded.
Hey, I also recommend a trip to Schloss Neuschwanstein. I go there every year and it never gets boring. This may have to do with the hotel that I chose every time, because it has a view of the mountains and the castle Neuschschwanstein, and it is located on the lake Hapfensee. Very nice.
I will be visiting Germany to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary am planning to Apply for Germany Visa soon. I was looking for some good places to visit in Germany when I came across your blog that gave me around 20 of the most beautiful places to visit in Germany. I would love to plan a visit to at least 4-5 places that you shared in the blog!
There are many more beautiful regions and towns which unfortunately now lie outside Germany’s historic borders. Areas like Silesia and the masurian lakes in East Prussia with the beautiful Teutonic Castle of Marienburg. Still very German in feel in spite of the Polish population that was moved in after 1945.
Really Thanks a lot for this informative Post with images. Germany is a beautiful place and I have no any idea about these places but after reading this post and see images I feel wow its amazing place. The Rhine Valley is so beautiful place and really I will go there in these places.
my father was born and lived in East Germany till WW2 when he was captured and brought to Scotland as a p.o.w. it is really nice to see pictures of his homeland and some of the places I have been to on holiday I really like this site.
Who said that it’s expensive to have a trip abroad? Germany was the first country I visited because I was lucky that my aunt married a German. The people were so nice and friendly as well as the place. Very clean city.
I spent 6 years in Germany and one word describes it to me “Christmas” which in your photos you can see why.. Its a beautiful country and somewhere I can’t wait to take my wife to visit.
