Food and Drink
Pretzel
Soft, salty and downright delicious, you’ll find pretzels at every bakery and street stall. Usually flavoured with salt, seeds or cheese, no country makes these twisted doughy treats quite like Germany!
Sausages
More than 1,500 different types of sausage are produced in Germany, with one of the most popular being the bratwurst. More recently the currywurst has become a countrywide favourite, and the frankfurter is another classic.
Sauerkraut
Despite not originating from Germany, sauerkraut is a staple in German cuisine. Translating to ‘sour cabbage’, you’ll likely have this as a side dish and it is often served with bratwurst!
Beer
Beer culture is very prominent in Germany – they even have their own beer festival! No visit is complete without sampling the country’s finest tipples, be it Pilsner, Kölsch, Märzen or another frothy beverage.
Planning your trip
With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...
Berlin Highlights
Reichstag
Both an architectural wonder and historical monument, the Reichstag is one of the city’s most significant buildings and the current home of the German parliament. The highlight is undoubtedly the glittering glass dome; you can enjoy panoramic 360° city views whilst the political decisions of tomorrow are being made just beneath your feet!
Berlin Wall
Divided for nearly thirty years, Berlin was a city with a wall running through its very heart. There are many places you can see the remains of the wall, with the East Side Gallery being the longest surviving section. Here, you’ll find more than 100 murals created by artists from over 20 countries – the most famous being the ‘Fraternal Kiss.’
Brandenburg Gate
The first stop for every visitor to Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate is an iconic landmark which offers an insight into the city’s fascinating history. Built in 1791, it was originally a symbol of division during the Cold War, but is now a national monument of peace and unity.
