THINGS TO DO IN GERMANY

The Tourist Office of Germany released a survey between July of the last year and March of the present yeart  with the aim to choose the best attractions in the country. And the best attractions are:

 1) Heidelberg Castle: The major attraction of the city of Baden-Württemberg is this huge castle seemingly 'abandoned'. Their mysterious appearance is also one of the largest samples of renaissance north of the Alps, and its location on the hill Königstuhl offers magnificent views of the city.

  

 2) Berlin Wall: is one of the most popular attractions in Germany. Present in several pieces scattered around the city, we can find illustrations that tell their history to the famous East Side Gallery, the wall became a canvas for the work of renowned artists.





 3) The Brandenburg Gate: Built in the eighteenth century, is a monumental entrance to the 'new Berlin'. It marks the beginning of the popular Tiergarten, the largest park in the capital of Berlin.



 4) Cologne Cathedral: With its 157 meters high, is the most visited monument in Germany and is consider a World Heritage Site, since 1996. It is also one of the world's largest of its kind.

   

 5) Constance´s lake: Despite sharing it with Austria and Switzerland, Germany dominates the northern part of the lake. You can find attractions like Mainau (the island of the flowers) or the beautiful old town of Lindau.
