Germany

A place that we were lucky enough to call home for 5 years, we like to think that we know a little bit about what to do and see in Germany!

Surprisingly, Germany really doesn’t find itself as the big tourist destinations that other neighbouring European countries do. And for the life of us we don’t know why.

It has some of the best countryside to explore – we fell in love with the hiking near us. There is some great skiing. Fascinating cities to explore. And let’s not forget about the beer! If you are a fan of a delicious brew, Germany should be high on your list of places to visit.

So here we’ve shared some of our best activities, hidden gems and favourites from this beautiful country.
