Berlin

The 20th century began and ended right here in Berlin. The German capital knows how to look backward and forward at once, how to roll up its sleeves and how to kick up its heels, how to remember and how to renew. Shaking off its heavy past, today Berlin is fast-changing, lively and fun.

Dresden

On the banks of the Elbe, post-war Dresden has been working hard to rebuild its reputation as an architectural and cultural trend-setter. Start off at the painstakingly reconstructed Frauenkirche church before an evening enjoying some of Germany’s finest contemporary and classical arts.

Frankfurt

Cosmopolitan and bustling, Frankfurt might be Germany’s financial powerhouse, but it is fun-loving at heart. Towering skyscrapers sit next to half-timbered houses. Frenetic shopping streets hide cosy apple wine taverns. The city on the River Main is full of unexpected contrasts.
