17 cities make up the Historic Highlights of Germany and they all provide different destination experiences. These destinations, some more well-known than others, each have their own quirks and highlights that are part of Germany’s historical beauty. Some of these smaller destinations will still give you an insight into Germany without having to deal with overcrowded cities.
These destinations include Aachen, known for being a spa city and its gothic cathedrals, and Freiburg that was known for being a reconstructed medieval town but is now a vibrant university city. Many of these towns and cities feature UNESCO heritage sites that will help you delve deeper into these hidden gems.
The other places that are part of the Historic Highlights of Germany are Augsburg, Bonn, Erfurt, Heidelberg, Koblenz, Lübeck, Mainz, Münster, Osnabrück, Potsdam, Regensburg, Rostock, Trier, Wiesbaden and Würzburg.
Here you will find the impressive Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, which can be reached via cable car, as well as Deutsches Eck at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel Rivers.
The cathedral, town hall and historic Maximilianstrasse are all worth visiting here. You can also explore the Fuggerei – a town within a town.
A beautiful city and once the gem of the Hanseatic League, Lübeck offers medieval city gates, a Romanesque cathedral and a town hall dating back to 1230.
Located just outside of Berlin, the Potsdam palaces and parks stand elegantly awaiting your visit. From Sanssouci to Charlottenhof, they offer the perfect place for a relaxing and educational stroll.
The cathedral here dates back to the year 800 and was Germany’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Aachen has a great sense of humour and its famous Printen (gingerbread) will delight your taste buds.
Beethoven’s house is one of the many highlights that you can see within Bonn, where you will get a chance to see his manuscripts and last piano. This memorial site studies the life and work of the famous composer.
