Also the most serious museum city on the continent. |  | 1302537 | There is nowhere in the world like Berlin. | \nMunich | Beer halls, the Alps an hour away, and the most expensive beds in the country during Oktoberfest. |  | 1302538 | Great city with much to see. Much is easily walkable, and the city public transport is so easy with the MVV app | \nHamburg | Canals, container ships, the Reeperbahn and a music scene that produced half of German rock. |  | 1302539 | Hamburg was much more beautiful than I expected! Lots to do, great nightlife and restaurants. Could use a few more activities like games bars but otherwise great! | \nCologne | The cathedral, the Rhine, and a Carnival that shuts the city for a week every February. |  | 1302540 | Beautiful city, amazing architecture, people are nice if you need help they will guide you ! | \nDresden | Rebuilt baroque centre and the gateway to Saxon Switzerland. Cheap, and often skipped. |  | 1302541 | Dresden is a beautiful historic city with so much stunning architecture and story, so much to see if the weathers good you can chill by the river or ride the Elbe-radweg by bike, or if you want more alternative vibes the neu-stadt is gonna be up your street so there\u2019s such a great mixture of modern and old it\u2019s in my eyes for a city has pretty much the perfect balance of all, definitely worth a visit! | \nLeipzig | The city Berliners move to when Berlin gets expensive. Music, galleries, and lower prices. |  | 1302542 | A city that has a lot of music culture and stories. I'd stay for 2-3 nights to soak it in. The Christmas markets were pretty cool and budget friendly. | \nFrankfurt | Banking towers over a rebuilt old town, the best transport links in the country, and a cider culture nobody expects. |  | 1302543 | Frankfurt is big. It has much to offer. I was s9lo traveling and had a few days before heading to Austria, my destination. I found much culture and sights to keep me busy all weekend. Easy to get around with all the S and U trains, trams, buses. Food, bars, life. | \nNuremberg | A reconstructed medieval core, Nazi rally grounds with an honest museum, and the most famous Christmas market in Germany. |  | 1302544 | We had a fantastic time (short stay) in Nuremberg with a mix of museums, city walks, great restaurants. Exceeded our expectations. | \nHeidelberg | A castle above a river, the oldest university in the country, and the most photographed old town in the south. |  | 1302545 | Heidelburg is AMAZE!!!!!! One of my favourite places I've visited | \nD\u00fcsseldorf | Altbier in the world's longest bar, Japanese food to rival Tokyo, and a rivalry with Cologne that is taken seriously. |  | 1302546 | Nice city, beautiful places to photograph, get around and stay quiet. | \nStuttgart | Car museums for Mercedes and Porsche, vineyards inside the city, and a wine festival bigger than you would expect. |  | 1302547 | Great place to stay for a short city break. Stuttgart has so much to see and do - whatever interests you - cars or culture. | \nFreiburg | The sunniest city in Germany, on the edge of the Black Forest, with streams running along the streets. |  | 1302548 |  | ","hw_hub_country_trips_title":"What kind of trip is this?","hw_hub_country_trips_intro":"Germany is strongest on nightlife, history and the outdoors.

K\u00f6lsch in Cologne comes in small glasses replaced automatically until you put the mat on top. Munich's beer gardens let you bring your own food as long as you buy the beer \u2014 a picnic and a litre is the cheapest good afternoon in the country.\r\n\r\nBakeries are the everyday answer.

Ten days lets you add a third city and a day in the countryside, all by train.\r\nIs Germany cheap? | Cheaper than France, Italy or the Netherlands, and Berlin is the cheapest major capital in western Europe. Dorms from \u20ac20 and a day around \u20ac45 to \u20ac65. Oktoberfest and Cologne Carnival are the two exceptions, when beds can triple.\r\nWhat is the Deutschlandticket? | \u20ac63 a month for unlimited regional trains, buses, trams and U-Bahn across the whole country. It excludes fast ICE trains, so journeys take longer, but for any stay over a week it is the best transport deal in Europe.\r\nWhen is Oktoberfest? | It starts in mid-September and runs to the first weekend of October \u2014 despite the name, most of it is in September. Munich beds sell out months ahead and prices triple, so book early or base yourself elsewhere.\r\nIs Berlin safe at night? | Yes, and the city is busy at hours when others are not. Kottbusser Tor and G\u00f6rlitzer Park have a visible drug scene that is rarely aimed at visitors, though the park alone at night is best avoided. Watch bags at the main stations.\r\nDo I need cash in Germany? | More than anywhere else in western Europe. Many bars, bakeries, kiosks and clubs are cash only, and some hostels charge card fees. Carry \u20ac50 or so even if you normally pay by card.\r\nCan I get into Berghain? | Possibly not, and nobody can improve your odds much.
