If I had 30 days in Germany, I’d skip the usual Berlin-only itinerary.
I’d visit 12 cities where history, beer gardens, castles, and overlooked treasures collide.
Here’s the route…🧵
Bamberg
A town built on seven hills with winding alleys and half-timbered houses. Its smoky beer is a local legend you won’t find anywhere else.
Heidelberg
Home to Germany’s most romantic castle ruins overlooking the Neckar River.
The old bridge and university give the whole city a timeless feel.
Regensburg
One of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Narrow lanes, stone bridges, and riverfront beer gardens make it a place to linger.
Lübeck
The Queen of the Hanseatic League, known for its brick Gothic skyline.
Walk through the Holstentor Gate and it feels like stepping back 500 years.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber
A storybook town with cobblestone streets and pastel houses. At night, the medieval walls glow under lantern light.
Dresden
Rebuilt from the ashes of World War II, it’s a mix of baroque palaces and modern energy.
The Frauenkirche is one of Europe’s most stunning churches.

Trier
Germany’s oldest city, founded by the Romans. You can still stand under the Porta Nigra gate that’s been here for 1,800 years.
Quedlinburg
A UNESCO gem packed with more than 1,300 half-timbered houses.
It feels untouched, like time skipped past.
Freiburg
Tucked against the Black Forest, it’s full of sunny squares and little streams running through the streets. The cathedral tower has one of the best views in Germany.
Würzburg
A wine city with a hilltop fortress and the lavish Würzburg Residence.
Grab a glass of Franconian wine on the Old Main Bridge at sunset....it’s tradition.
Goslar
A quiet Harz Mountains town with a thousand years of mining history. The market square is straight out of a postcard.
Passau
Where three rivers meet, with pastel buildings and a hilltop fortress watching over it all. The baroque cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in the world.
