A different side of paradise
Step back in time to experience a slower, more harmonious way of life among the monasteries of Reichenau Island. Found on Lake Constance at Germany’s southern frontier, the island is home to three distinctive, tranquil churches recognized by UNESCO for their cultural and historical significance. Plus, the destination offers opportunities for sailing, swimming, and more.
Welcome to Berlin’s cultural hub
In the central Mitte district of Germany’s capital, Berlin’s Museum Island is a concentrated nexus of culture dating to 1830. Featuring five renowned institutions of art and antiquities ingeniously connected by a subterranean walkway, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is an easily accessible portal to an artistic trip through time, all in the middle of Berlin’s beating heart.
A Gothic masterpiece that spans centuries
Cologne offers many appealing attractions, from its interactive museums to chocolate factories, but the Cathedral rises above them all. Constructed between 1248 and 1880, the UNESCO-designated Cologne Cathedral is the ultimate example of Gothic architecture, a monument of creative expression and determination that contains priceless artifacts from across the ages while offering stunning views over the city from its iconic stone spires.
Mining inspiration in the mountains
Dating back to the Middle Ages, the Erzgebirge, or Ore Mountains, have been an invaluable source of financial and cultural wealth in Lower Saxony. Today, the longtime mining center and UNESCO World Heritage Site offers travelers a glimpse at this important history, with local handicrafts, regional museums, and epic hikes to further improve on some of Germany’s most gorgeous landscapes.
Where the Jewish past meets the future
The cities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz, found in the heart of German wine country, appeal to travelers interested in next-level cuisine. Yet the trio also represents centuries of Jewish culture and resilience, and those visiting Mainz can look forward to the futuristic architecture of the New Synagogue, the symbolic and spiritual center of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
From the sea to the city
With the North Sea as the gateway to the world, merchants helped usher cities like Hamburg into the industrial age and the warehouse district of Speicherstadt is perhaps the best example of this legacy. Architecture lovers will find great appeal in this well-preserved UNESCO World Heritage Site, where modern structures straddle a network of canals in a city renowned for its spirited nightlife and ever-evolving culture.
The home of the future
Faced with unprecedented urban growth in the early 20th century, German artists and designers set out to comprehensively change the look and feel of the city and the Bauhaus was at the forefront of this revolution. In Dessau, declared the home base of this movement in 1925, architecture and design buffs can delight in many important examples of the modernist movement that changed everything, especially in the UNESCO-protected Bauhaus Dessau school building.
Ancient Rome on the river
The Danube Limes marks the limits of the Roman Empire in southern Germany, where you can immerse yourself in 2,000 years of history. Following the Danube River, explore five historic museums among the ruins of several forts and encampments that comprise the Roman Trail before arriving in Regensburg, a 12th-century city built from the visible remains of that once-powerful empire.
