The German National Tourist Office provides a guide of where to go, what to see and do this summer with the launch of its new ‘German Summer Cities’ microsite.
The choice is eclectic; from open air theatres on ancient cathedral steps to hip, sustainable festivals in natural parks and landscapes, whether surfing in Munich city centre or stand up paddle-boarding in downtown Berlin, night time concert picnics in the palace of Sanssoucci, or magical moments in romantic royal palaces – holiday memories are made in Germany.
Beatrix Haun, director of the GNTO UK and Ireland said, “Germany has beaches, beautiful landscapes, a huge cultural heritage for all ages, amazing open air bars, beer gardens and restaurants – all in a city centre. All the classic elements of a summer holiday can be found here and we can promise that the welcome will be as warm as the weather”.
If you need a beach fix, you’ll find it right in the heart of the city – many German cities have centrally located lakes for sports fans, for relaxing, for simply watching the world go by in cafes, bars and restaurants at the water’s edge.
Summer in a German city has all the elements of holiday to remember.
