Stretching from the Alps to the Baltic and North Seas, Germany makes for inspiring, fascinating and invigorating travel. Spend one day exploring half-timbered medieval towns and spectacular baroque palaces in Bavaria, and the next immersing yourself in fast-paced cosmopolitan cities. Metropolises such as Berlin provide a world of variety, with renowned historic attractions Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin wall right next to the top techno clubs on earth. Art and design explode in continual evolution, with Weimar providing the mecca for fans of Goethe, Schiller, and the Bauhaus Movement, and forward-thinking galleries dotted all over the country. Nature lovers have a paradise to explore, including pristine Alpine pistes, huge glimmering lakes, and thousands of miles of dense forest dotted with curative thermal springs. Culinary enthusiasts will delight in Germany's world-famous beer, sausage, and 'stollen'.
Idyllically set on the south side of the serene Flensborg Fjord, an inlet of the Baltic Sea sits Schleswig-Holstein’s charming little town of Glücksburg. Set amidst towering greenery, this historic hamlet boats an enchanting atmosphere with its significant attractions, quaint stores, and delightful eateries. One of the major drawcards of this dazzling destination is the red-roofed Glücksburg Castle - one of the most important Renaissance castles in northern Europe, once used by the Danish kings. Alongside the magical castle, Glücksburg is home to fascinating and informative Forest Museum Glücksburg, and the beautiful Glücksburg Rosarium, an awe-inspiring baroque garden home to over five hundred varieties of English roses spread over one hectare of lush grounds.
