Germany

Germany is a land of beauty so bewitching, it inspired the world’s most famous fairty tales—those of the Brothers Grimm. It’s easy to see what spurred the creators of Cinderella: enchanting, moody forests, colourful, medieval towns, exquisite palaces and unbelievable, hilltop castles. Between magical landscapes and a coastline hugging the North and Baltic seas, discover cities rich in history, culture and incredible cuisine.

FUN FACT

You can thank Germans for a few things: cars, aspirin, toothpaste, X-ray technology, Adidas sneakers, kindergarten, the theory of relativity, Snow White, helicopters, MP3s and the printing press. Alternatively, we’re not too sure about some of their less-inspiring inventions, like perms and the Kiwi-to-Go box (why?!).
