German cities, each with its own character

In Berlin, you experience a unique combination of history and modern life: from the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag to the East Side Gallery and Checkpoint Charlie. Dresden has a completely different atmosphere, with its baroque architecture and the Brühl's Terrace along the River Elbe. Düsseldorf and Cologne are close to each other, yet very different: Düsseldorf with its characterful Altstadt on the Rhine, and Cologne with its impressive cathedral and famous Christmas markets.

Frankfurt is known as a financial and trade centre, with striking skyscrapers as well as a historic centre full of museums. Hamburg stands out for its harbour, waterways, green recreational areas and relaxed atmosphere. Munich combines Bavarian traditions with monumental buildings, beer culture and museums. Every German city has its own reason to visit.

Public transport in Germany

Public transport in German cities is excellent. By U-Bahn, tram, bus and S-Bahn, you can easily reach all districts and sights. Many highlights are also within walking distance of the stations.

Why take a Germany city break by train?
