10 cities in Germany worth visiting
Have you ever traveled to Germany? Surely you have been able to see some of its main cities, tourist sites full of history. If we were to make a list of German cities we want to visit right now, these ten would surely be among the first.
Germany is a European country with a great history, where tourism is not as crucial to its economy as in other countries, but it certainly has a lot to offer those who decide to spend their holidays in Germany. We will see what are the ten essential cities to visit in Germany.
Munich
Munich, located in the state of Bavaria, is one of those cities where it takes more than two days to see the highlights. Among its main attractions is the Hofbräuhaus Brewery, which for many years was the center of public life in the city and a meeting place. It is a historical place, as characters like Lenin passed through it. On the other hand, in Munich we have many religious buildings, such as the church of San Miguel, that of Assam or the Cathedral. The BME factory is in this city.
Berlin
In Germany's capital you should not miss its famous Brandenburg Gate, the old gateway to Berlin and its main symbol. Getting to know the history of the city goes by going to the famous Berlin Wall, especially its part of the East Side Gallery, an open-air art gallery. You should not miss the central Alexanderplatz or the beautiful Berlin Cathedral with its green dome. If possible visit the Reichstag, where the Parliament is located.
Hamburg
Hamburg is a city that was badly damaged by bombing in the Second World War, but has been reborn to become an interesting and lively place. Its commercial port is very busy, but it is also a tourist town where you can enjoy wonderful places, a museum of miniatures for the whole family, or the beautiful town square, with its old buildings. If you want to have fun, don't forget the Reeperbahn and visit the Planten un Blomen park.
Frankfurt
The most important city in the federal state of Hesse, known as Frankfurt am Main. In this city we can visit Gothic houses, the historic Römerberg square where the famous Christmas market is held or see the Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew, in the Gothic style. To have a panoramic view of the city we can visit the Torre de Meno, a public observatory. Museums, the zoo or the Palm Garden are also essential.
Cologne
If Cologne is known for anything, it is for its famous cathedrals from the High Gothic period. Its entrance is free, although it is not possible to do tourism during religious services. What it costs is to climb the towers, to enjoy an incredible view of the city. In Cologne you can also enjoy several museums, such as the one inspired by Cologne or the chocolate museum.
Dusseldorf
Düsseldorf is a quiet city located on the banks of the Rhine. In it you can enjoy a pleasant walk through its old town. Here you can see the Castle Square or the town hall building. The Rheinturm is the large tower on the banks of the Rhine from which you can enjoy spectacular views of the city. In addition, this city has a small beach on the banks of the river, so it does not lack anything.
Dresden
The city of Dresden can be visited in one day, and has its old town area and new town. Its historic area is the most beautiful in the city, with the Frankirche, a baroque church completed in 2005, or the Neumarkt square. You should also visit the interior of the Royal Palace with the Treasury museum.
Nuremberg
This city, which was reborn after the Second World War, is known beyond the famous trials of the leaders of the National Socialist party for crimes committed against humanity. In this city you can visit the house where Albrecht Dürer was born, or stroll quietly through the old town, with well-kept houses that offer an almost magical environment. You should not miss visiting the Imperial Castle or its beautiful churches.
Hanover
In this city of Lower Saxony you can see the corners and places of interest for several days. One of the things that attracts the most attention is the town hall, a building that looks more like a castle. There are also several museums and a zoo in the city.
Leipzig
In Leipzig you should look for the steps of Jeta Bach. In the Thomaskirche he composed many of his works. In addition, very close is the Bach Museum. Leipzig is a very cultural city in which people get around by tram or bicycle.
