Ahrenshoop 
 |
Can't get there this time
The hamlet of Ahrenshoop is beautifully located on a peninsula between the Baltic Sea and the bodden (wetlands). Home to a population of around 700 people, its harbour has traditional fishing huts and elsewhere thatched fishermen's houses sit back from the sand dunes. As well as a scenic setting, the village has plenty of culture to offer. Unsurprisingly it’s attracted many artists over the years with its light and landscapes – its painting school was founded in 1894 and features an art museum. |

Alsfeld 
 |
Step straight into the stories of the Brothers Grimm in the old town of Alsfeld. With its ancient half-timbered houses and striking twin-turreted town hall, it has lashings of fairy-tale charm.

Berlin Wall Memorial  |
Border control in Bernauer Straße
What was once the border strip is now a place of remembrance. The Berlin Wall memorial gives you a moving insight into the division of Berlin. A GDR soldier jumping over the fence at the last moment. People jumping out of windows into sheets held out by West Berlin firemen – images of Bernauer Straße in August 1961 were seen all over the world. Today this historic location is the site of the Berlin Wall Memorial where the partition of Berlin is remembered. 1 Hour by train from AirBnB. 15 min by train from Brandenburg Gate |

Binz To see: Binz |
A pretty seaside resort on Germany's northeastern island of Rügen, Binz has sandy beaches, fancy hotels and coastal walks – most famously to its white chalk cliffs. Its pine-backed beaches are lined with ornate white villas that date from the 19th century when it became a popular place to bathe. You can't miss the resort's traditional canopied chairs, made from wicker and canvas and known as strandkörbe (beach baskets), which stretch all along the waterfront.

Celle 
 |
Another of north-central Germany’s medieval gems, Celle’s history dates back 800 years. Once the home of European nobility, it is rich in historic buildings including having one of Europe's largest collections of listed half-timbered houses (just under 500, don’t miss the beautiful Hoppener Haus) and a charming castle that dates from 1292. Notable features include its 16th-century chapel with a Renaissance interior and 17th-century theatre, the oldest existing example of a Baroque theatre in Germany. Celle sits scenically on the banks of the Aller river and is well located for hikes into Lower Saxony’s bucolic heathlands.

Friedrichstadt 
|
Chug along the canals of Friedrichstadt in Schleswig-Holstein and you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’re in the Netherlands. With its Dutch-style red-brick houses, stone arch bridges and canals, Friedrichstadt is unsurprisingly known as Little Amsterdam. The town was founded by Dutch settlers in 1621 – discover its history at the museum Alte Münze, which has fascinating exhibitions, and is a beautiful example of Dutch Renaissance architecture. True to form, cycling is also big here – tackle part of the Viking Friesian Cycle Path that stretches across Schleswig-Holstein from coast to coast.

Goslar 
 |
Steeped in tales of miners, witches and emperors, Goslar in the Harz mountains is a bewitching place. The beautiful UNESCO World Heritage town was founded after silver was discovered in the mountains in AD 968. You can go into Europe’s oldest subterranean mine chamber, the 13th-century Feuergezähe, at the Rammelsberg Mining Museum. The sprawling Imperial Palace of Goslar and the medieval old town's pretty marketplace are other highlights. Along with most Harz towns, Goslar celebrates all things witchcraft on Walpurgis Night each Spring. | $0.00 | |||||

Hamburg 
 |
From fascinating historical architecture to striking futuristic buildings to some of the best nightlife in Europe, Hamburg has it all. Nestled on the River Elbe, Germany’s second-largest metropolis prides itself with an abundance of parks and green spaces, a treasure-packed historic center, and more bridges than any other city in the world. Fine dining restaurants line the riverbank, museums are bursting with world-class art and naval memorabilia, and its beautiful Town Hall is a marvel of neo-Renaissance architecture.
Those with more contemporary tastes should definitely visit the futuristic HafenCity district, one of Europe’s most ambitious inner-city developments. This 2.2 sq km area along Hamburg’s port is a striking mix of towering skyscrapers, modern glass facades, and airy promenades, with a shimmering concert hall (Elbphilharmonie) designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and its heart. Otherwise, the UNESCO-awarded Speicherstadt is the largest warehouse district on the planet, a remarkable ensemble of Neo-Gothic brick buildings built on oak piles and interspersed with century-old waterways. |

At 1,050-years-old Lüneburg is one of the oldest and best-looking towns in northern Germany. Located between the Elbe river and the colourful heathland of Lower Saxony, the Hanseatic trade town – famous for its salt production – has an abundance of medieval treasures, not to mention gabled red-brick houses and pretty old churches.

Quedlinburg   |
Dominated by a palace and abbey complex perched high on a sandstone bluff, Quedlinburg in the Hartz mountains is a treasure trove of medieval riches.

Rostock is worth a visit for its four historic gates and its beautiful churches, including St. Mary’s Church, Nikolai Church and St. Petri Church. But the main draw for tourists in summer is the beautiful Warnemünde Beach, a very short drive away from Rostock.

Huddled on the river Diemel, little Trendelburg enchants with its old-world charm but it's the fairy-tale tower in the town's 13th-century castle, thought to have inspired the tale of Rapunzel, that lures most visitors.

Brandenburg Gate  |
Brandenburg Gate is the first stop for every visitor to Berlin! The city’s iconic landmark offers fascinating insights into the city’s history.
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most iconic sights in today’s vibrant Berlin. More than just Berlin’s only surviving historical city gate, this site came to symbolise Berlin’s Cold War division into East and West – and, since the fall of the Wall, a reunified Germany. Architecturally, the sandstone Brandenburg Gate also represents one of the earliest and most attractive examples of a neo-classical building in Germany. 1 Hour by train from AirBnB |

Topography of Terror  |
A place of remembrance on the site of the SS central command
Remembering terror and persecution – the documentation centre Topographie des Terrors is one of the most-visited places of remembrance in Berlin. A place where terror is tangible, a place of remembrance and a warning from history, the “Topography of Terror” exhibition is located on the site where between 1933 and 1945 the principal instruments of Nazi persecution and terror were located: the headquarters of the Gestapo, the high command and security service of the SS, and from 1939 the Reich Security Main Office. With more than a million visitors each years, it is one of the most frequently visited museums and memorial centres in Berlin. 1 Hour by train from AirBnB. 15 min by train from Brandenburg Gate |
