Culture & Heritage
Discover the rich history, art and traditions of Germany
Located in the heart of Europe, Germany is a dynamic nation known for its rich history, vibrant cities, fairytale landscapes of castles and forests, and leadership in engineering and technology.
Festivals & Events
Discover the mix of history and avant-garde. Berlin, with its turbulent past and creative present. Munich, the elegant Bavarian capital. Hamburg, the 'Venice of the North'. And charmingly rebuilt cities like Dresden, or perfectly preserved medieval gems like Regensburg or Quedlinburg.
Follow in the footsteps of the Brothers Grimm along the 'Fairy Tale Route', which runs from Hanau to Bremen. The 'Romantic Road' is even more famous, connecting Würzburg with Füssen through walled towns like Rothenburg ob der Tauber and dream castles like Neuschwanstein.
The Bavarian Alps are a paradise for hiking and skiing. The Black Forest offers routes through forests and waterfalls. Saxon Switzerland, near Dresden, surprises with its sandstone rock formations. And the Mecklenburg Lake District is ideal for water activities.
Drinking in a Bavarian 'Biergarten'
On a sunny day, there is nothing more German than sitting in a beer garden under the shade of chestnut trees. Share long wooden tables with locals, enjoy a one-liter mug ('Maß') of fresh beer and accompany it with a giant pretzel, sausages or 'Obatzda' (a cheese preparation). It is the epicenter of Bavarian social life.
Immerse yourself in the Magic of a Christmas Market
During Advent, squares across Germany are transformed into winter wonderlands. The aroma of mulled wine ('Glühwein'), toasted almonds and gingerbread ('Lebkuchen') fills the air. Wander among the ornate wooden stalls, shop for local crafts and get into the festive spirit.
Driving on an Unlimited Section of the Autobahn
For motor enthusiasts, it is a unique experience. On designated sections ('unbegrenzt'), there is no federal speed limit. Driving a German car on these perfectly maintained highways is to feel engineering and freedom at its finest. Always responsibly and respecting the left lane only to overtake.
Hiking through the Black Forest
Delve into one of the most iconic landscapes in Germany. Its dense spruce forests, crystal-clear lakes and traditional farm villages inspired countless fairy tales. Follow one of the many well-marked routes and end the day with a slice of the famous Black Forest Cake.
Tour the Rhine Valley by Boat
The World Heritage-listed stretch of the Middle Rhine is a spectacular cultural landscape. Cruising along the river between Bingen and Koblenz allows you to admire more than 40 medieval castles and fortresses perched on the hills, surrounded by sloping vineyards. The legend of the mermaid Lorelei adds a touch of mystery.
Explore Berlin's Alternative Scene
Berlin is a city of creativity and counterculture. Explore the neighborhoods of Kreuzberg and Neukölln, discover world-famous street art like the East Side Gallery (a piece of the Berlin Wall converted into an art gallery), visit flea markets like Mauerpark, and feel the energy of a city that never sleeps.

Punctuality
Being punctual is very important in German culture. Arriving at an appointment, even a social one, at the agreed time is a sign of respect. Public transport is also known for its punctuality.
Cash (Bargeld)
Although card payment is widespread, Germany is still a cash-intensive society. In markets, small bars, bakeries or for low amounts, it is common and sometimes necessary to pay in cash. Always carry some cash with you.
Sunday Closing (Sonntagsruhe)
The 'Sunday quiet' is a cultural and legal norm. Most shops, supermarkets and shopping centers are closed on Sundays. Only some businesses are open in train stations or airports, in addition to restaurants and tourist attractions.
