Tourism in Germany is very developed thanks to the many interesting sights like:

Neuschwanstein Castle

This is one of the most famous castles in the world. It is nestled in the Alps in Bavaria. An interesting fact is that Walt Disney made inspiration from it for “Sleeping Beauty”. Neuschwanstein Castle is the most photographed building in all of Germany.

In 1869, King Ludwig II designed this castle and instead of architect, he hired a theatrical set designer to realize his vision. It includes a gaudy artificial grotto, the Throne Room with its huge crowd-shaped chandelier, and the Iavish Minstrels’ Hall.

Brandenburg Gate

 The Brandenburg Gate is really important monument because it is the national symbol for Germany. It was built in 1791, designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans the Elder (he was inspired by the Propylaea if the Athenian Acropolis) and meant to mark the end of the boulevard, Unter den Linden. When the wall fell in 1989, the Brandenburg Gate became the symbol of Germany’s reunification.

                        

Cologne’s Cathedral

Cologne’s Cathedral is one of the most important and tallest cathedrals. After 600 years of building it was finally finished in 1880. While the World War II, the Cathedral was the only building that survived. It still stands next to the city’s train station and there are many visitors all the time!

Black Forest

In the past the forests covered the whole German area but in nowadays it covers just 30% of the territory. Black Forest full of hills and valleys is the best place for rest. You can walk, bike or drive through the scenic routes that will lead you to tiny villages, such as Freiburg. The most popular and recommended tours are Wine Road and the German Clock Road.

Berlin’s Museum Island

The world-famous Museum Island lies between two rivers – Spree and the Kupfergraben. In the middle of this district is The Old Museum which was built in 1830 as a place for royal treasures. The New Museum took shape between 1843 – 1855, and the National Gallery was added in 1876 with the Bode Museum made in 1904 full of collections of antiquities.
