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…🧵 Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
Quedlinburg

A UNESCO gem packed with more than 1,300 half-timbered houses.

It feels untouched, like time skipped past. Image
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. Image
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. Image
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.

Everyone thinks Italy is just Rome, Venice, and Florence.

Wrong.

I spent 14 days researching cities off the beaten path and discovered 10 cities travelers always overlook, but locals swear by them…..🧵 Image
Matera (Basilicata)

Walk the Sassi and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another century...cave homes, narrow lanes, and a honey-colored skyline that glows at sunset. It’s one of Italy’s most strange and beautiful places.
Lecce (Puglia)

Lecce is like a little baroque theater: every building is carved with flowers, angels, and flourishes, and the piazzas hum with cafés and late-night talk. Southern Italy at its most ornate and friendly.
