Germany is a highly sought after destination that offers us many places to see. In its cities there are many monuments and well-cared old areas that undoubtedly everyone likes. They offer history, fun and a refreshing mix of old and new, which is why these cities are so visited every year.
Let's see what the main cities in Germany that you should not miss on your travels. Among these cities we can find places to spend weeks even. Take note of the cities you are going to visit when we can travel normally again.
Berlin
Berlin is one of the most multicultural and modern cities in all of Germany. This city is also full of interesting monuments. The Brandenburg Gate is the most representative, inaugurated in 1791. Nor should you miss the East Side Gallery, the area where the Berlin Wall is still standing. In Berlin we will pass through Alexanderplatz, its most central square and we will enjoy the Museum Island, where we can visit the Pergamon Museum or the New Museum. The Berliner Dom or Cathedral is its most religious building, with its distinctive dome. Finally, we can relax in the Tiergarten park, the largest in the city.
Neighborhood
La great jewel of the city of Cologne is undoubtedly its impressive gothic cathedral. The city also has several museums of interest, such as the Ludwig Museum with works by Picasso, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum with Impressionist and Renaissance works or the Germanic Romanesque Museum. It is also a great idea to visit the Chocolate Museum and then get lost in its old town discovering places like the Kölner Rathaus, the oldest city hall in Germany.
Hamburg
This city was almost completely destroyed in WWII, so we will have the impression that it is very modern. There are old places that are still preserved, such as the beautiful town hall located on the Rathausplatz. Nor should we miss Deichstrasse street, with some old Dutch-style houses on the banks of the canal. Speicherstadt was a port district that today has warehouses and has beautiful channels. In the city you should also see the Church of St. Michael, as it is the most important Baroque church in northern Germany and visit the Alster Lake.
Munich
Munich is the capital of the Bavarian area and it has a lot to offer. In this city you have to stop at Marienplatz, which is the center of the city and the old town, where the new neo-Gothic town hall is located. During Christmas an interesting market is held in this place. Near the square is the Viktualienmarkt, the largest open-air market in the city. Another essential visit takes us to the famous Hofbrüahaus brewery, which has a very traditional look. Like other German cities, in Munich we can also find a large garden, the Englischer Garten.
Frankfurt
Frankfurt also has a modern and financial district which is well known and with an old area of great beauty. A must see is the heart of its historic area, situated on Römerberg Square. Near this square is the Cathedral of San Bartolomé and in the old town we can also see the Goethe house museum. The baroque Hauptwache building today has a cafeteria but it was a historic place that was even used as a prison. Another must-see is the museum shore or the Sachsenhausen neighborhood, where you can find typical taverns where you can drink apfelwein, a well-known drink.
