Germany
Castles, cathedrals and glowing winter markets

Germany Programs

From the capital energy of Berlin to the beer halls of Munich, the Gothic cathedral of Cologne and the vineyard-clad slopes of the Rhine, Germany blends history, landscape and tradition. Its Bavarian castles and its Christmas markets, from Nuremberg to Dresden, are among the most beloved in Europe.

Why now. In July 2025 UNESCO inscribed the palaces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, including the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein Castle, on the World Heritage List, recognising them as Germany's newest cultural World Heritage site. UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Palaces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria
