It might not be the first country you think of when planning a trip. But think again. Germany has so many amazing places and is truly a must-see! Tired of the Netherlands as a festival-goer? The best festivals like Melt, Fusion, and the intimate Nachtdigital Festival all take place in our neighboring country.

In addition, cities like Berlin , Hamburg , and Munich are more than worth a visit! Head to Berlin for its creative, raw vibe, the place to be for dancing the night away in one of the many underground clubs. Go shopping in the beautiful port city of Hamburg, after which you can enjoy drinks by the water until the early hours. Hamburg is, incidentally, the new hipster capital of Germany. A visit to our neighboring country is not complete without German beer. So be sure to visit one of the always lively beer gardens, which can be found throughout the country. Or really go all the way at Oktoberfest in Munich!
