If you’ve read any of my other Germany travel guides, you probably already know that I’m a big fan of visiting Munich. I wouldn’t necessarily want to live there, but from a tourist’s perspective, I honestly think Munich is one of the best, maybe even the best city to visit in Germany. I’ve been a…
I honestly think Munich is one of the best cities to visit in Germany especially if it’s your first time in the country and or you’re flying in from overseas and want that classic, “stereotypical German” ( Bavarian) experience. Even though I was born and raised in Germany, I still get ridiculously excited every time…
Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities any time of year, but at Christmas? Wow. The whole city glows. The chandelier-style lights draped across the main shopping street leading to St. Stephen’s Cathedral are honestly some of the most elegant decorations I’ve ever seen, and everywhere you look, there are strings of twinkling lights…
If you’re still on the fence about spending Christmas in Germany, consider this your sign to just book the trip. I promise you won’t regret it! Germany is hands-down one of the best countries to visit during the holidays, and Berlin, the capital, is a huge part of that magic. Yes, I might be biased…

Between glowing palaces, the smell of cheesy raclette, and mugs of steaming Glühwein in your hands, it’s the kind of festive atmosphere that makes you feel like a kid again. I first came here on…
If you’ve read any of my other Hamburg travel guides, then you already know this: Hamburg is for sure one of my favorite cities in Germany. The thing I love about Hamburg is the mix. Berlin, to me, is a bit too grimy and edgy, while Munich is kinda the opposite, too posh and polished….
If you’ve read any of my other Hamburg travel guides, you probably already know this, but Hamburg is most likely one of my favorite cities in Germany. If I ever had to pick a German city to live in, I’m pretty sure it would be here. What I love about Hamburg is the balance. Berlin…
I visited Vienna last Christmas to hang out with one of my friends, and it reminded me why I keep coming back. This was actually my third trip to the city, and after wandering the streets again, popping into the famous palaces, and eating way too much cake, I knew it was finally time to…
