Some very hip cities, a rich history, fairytale–style castles, beautiful mountain scenery and idyllic wine–growing regions – Germany offers many opportunities for a wonderful holiday. Start planning your trip today and find cheap air fare tickets or discount airlines to Germany with Opodo.
You might want to plan a break to see the vineyards and meandering river of the Moselle region, famed for its Riesling grape. German wine was once associated with the prawn cocktails and steak Dianes of 1970s dinner parties – but not any more. German wines like those from the Moselle region are both elegant and fruity, absorbing the Mediterranean climate of the region.
In addition to great wine, why not take in the mountains and fauna of the Schwarzwald (Black Forest) region that borders France and Switzerland. It’s also where cuckoo clocks come from, just in case you want to pick one up as a kitsch reminder of your holiday.
The area also has some lavish spa retreats. You may remember news coverage of the 2006 Football World Cup in Germany, where most of the footballers’ wives took full advantage of the glamorous surroundings and shopping opportunities provided by spa resorts like Baden Baden that adjoin the Black Forest region.
