Things to do
Germany’s culture delivered to your door
Germany boasts an equally rich cultural heritage, with many world-class museums, art galleries, theaters, and opera houses. Berlin’s Theater am Schiffbauerdamm is home to the influential Berliner Ensemble founded in 1949 by Bertolt Brecht, while Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie concert hall is hailed as a 21st-century architectural masterpiece. The subjects of Cologne’s many museums range from Medieval art and contemporary sculpture to chocolate and perfume. The vast Deutsches Museum in Munich is one of the largest science museums in the world. Throughout Germany, vacation rentals deliver the country’s celebrated culture straight to your doorstep.
Activities
A fresh look at Germany’s natural attractions
Germans love to get out and about in the fresh air, and there are plenty of opportunities for visitors to follow quite literally in their footsteps. A walk in the Black Forest or a hike through the Rhine Valley showcases some of the country’s most iconic scenery, while the dramatic glaciers of the Zugspitze and the untamed dunescapes of the North Sea coast offer contrasting vistas. Picnics in protected nature reserves, bike rides through city parks, and riverbank rambles are just a few of the family-friendly ways to see Germany’s abundant natural attractions through local eyes.
Weather
Germany—a country for all seasons
Germany’s climate follows the typical northern European pattern of cold winters and warm summers interspersed with seasonal showers. The wide expanses of sand along the North Sea coast are protected by low dunes and warmed by the Gulf Stream, while the high peaks of the southern Alps are snow-covered for most of the year. Typical vacation rentals in Germany account for changeable conditions with efficient climate-control systems that keep homes cozy in winter and cool in summer. Spring and fall are good times to visit the most popular cities, away from the busiest crowds and the chilliest frosts.
Natural features
Berlin—home of Germany’s oldest zoo
Berlin Zoo is the oldest in Germany. Since 1844, it has been a popular visitor attraction, as well as a pioneering center of research. The open-air parkland recreates the natural habitats of its various inhabitants, while the bird house is designed as a walk-through aviary. The striking Art Deco aquarium, dating from 1913, houses a fascinating collection of reptiles, amphibians, and other aquatic creatures. The zoo is situated in the beautiful Tiergarten, Berlin’s leafy inner city park. When it comes to walks on the wild side in Germany, vacation rentals in central Berlin provide the best of both worlds.
