Here are the 100 best things to do in Germany that will show you the charm, beauty and cultural diversity of this country.

Germany is rich with surprises and contrasts just waiting to be discovered by the discerning tourist. A country of enchanting little villages nestling between lofty and imposing mountains, fairytale castles and churches and lush vineyards rolling down towards the banks of the Rhine or the Mosel, Germany also boasts of the more rumbustious Munich Beer Festival and the Cologne Carnival, a very fine choice of gateaux, sausages and beer and a powerful and somewhat spooky folkloric tradition.

88. Wismar

The attractive port town of Wismar on the Baltic sea in Mecklenburg Upper Pomerania, a member of the former Hanseatic League, was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. Wismar combines charming and romantic architecture with the tang of its maritime past in a way which is unique. Particularly worthy of a visit are the Nikolaikirche and the Old Hansa Harbor. Wismar has great fish restaurants, too!

Wismar has its own railway station, which is best accessed by train from Rostock or Schwerin, Berlin or Hamburg. The nearest airport is Lübeck.

89. Grugapark (Essen)

This botanical park in Essen, North Rhine Westphalia was established in 1927 for the “Great Ruhr Landscape Gardening Exhibition”, which in German is shortened to “Gruga”. The heart of “Essen’s most beautiful garden” is the botanical garden with its giant cacti and bonsais, its roses and its Rhododendron Valley. Sculptures and statues abound to delight art lovers, spas and wellness are also represented and there are playgrounds for children – including areas with friendly animals for children to feed and pet – making the Grugapark a great destination for the whole family.

The Gruga Park is 10 minutes by car or 40 minutes by bus from the railway station. Exit at “Grugapark Essen”.

90. Waldspirale (Darmstadt)

Darmstadt`s Waldspirale (“forest spiral”) is a residential complex designed in the 1990s by the eccentric architectural genius Friedensreich Hundertwasser. In former times the complex boasted a cafe for visitors on its upper floors; currently there are no amenities for visitors. Nonetheless, with its over 1000 windows (no two the same) and its typical pink and yellow facade and minarets – not to mention the trees growing out of its roof – it is well worth a visit.

Darmstadt is located in the Rhine Main area; the nearest train connections are Frankfurt and Heidelberg. The Waldspirale lies on the crossing Friedberger Straße/Büdinger Straße, 11 minutes by car or half an hour on foot from the railway station.
