Truly Worth Visiting in Germany, Bamberg (2026)

16/08/2026

Just 3.5 hours north of Berlin lies a side of Germany most international tourists completely miss... 🌊🇩🇪

Welcome to Rügen Island on the Baltic Sea. It’s home to some of the country's softest white sand beaches and is a long-time favorite summer getaway for locals.

This is the famous Sellin Pier. The original pier dates back to 1906, stretching nearly 1,700 feet out into the sea. Built in that grand, early-20th-century resort style, it almost looks like a floating palace.

Today, you can walk down the wooden deck, take in the ocean views, or even enjoy a meal right over the water.

If you're planning a trip to Germany and want to experience a stunning, more local side of the country, this coast is well worth the drive up from Berlin.

Looking for a hidden gem on your German road trip? 🚗✨

If you’re traveling between Berlin and Hamburg, don’t just zip down the autobahn. Instead take a quick detour off the A24 to Schwerin, one of Northern Germany’s best-kept secrets!

Spared from major damage during WWII, Schwerin boasts a remarkably preserved historic city center filled with cobblestone streets, charming squares, and beautiful architecture.

Here’s what you shouldn't miss when you visit:

🏰 Schwerin Castle (Schweriner Schloss): The crown jewel of the city! Sitting majestically on its own island in the lake, this fairytale castle looks straight out of a storybook. While it houses the state parliament today, you can tour the museum wing to experience its royal grandeur or stroll through the picturesque palace gardens.

⛪ Schwerin Cathedral: Dominating the city skyline, this magnificent Gothic cathedral features a tower standing over 380 feet tall making it the tallest in the state. If you’re up for a quick workout, climb the 220 steps to the top for sweeping panoramic views of the town, lakes, and castle.

⛵ Germany’s 3rd Largest Lake: Schwerin is surrounded by water. Schweriner See is a paradise for water lovers, filled with kayaks, sailboat rentals, and paddleboards. Prefer to kick back and relax? Hop on one of the scenic sightseeing boats departing near the castle.

🛖 The Iconic Historic Boathouses: Dotted along the shoreline, these charming historic boathouses (many dating back to the GDR era) are local treasures. You can catch great views of them along the Franzosenweg waterfront path, right across from the castle.

🎄 The Festive Christmas Market: Visiting in late November or December? The city transforms into a magical winter wonderland. The aroma of mulled w**e (Glühwein) and roasted almonds fills the air around a giant Christmas tree, with the lighted cathedral creating the ultimate backdrop.

Bayreuth – the perfect halfway stop on the A9 between Berlin and Munich! 🏰✨

If you are looking for a beautiful place to break up your journey, the world-famous opera town of Bayreuth is an absolute gem. Every summer, it hosts the legendary Richard Wagner Festival, and the historic town centre is bursting with South German charm, fantastic local food, and a wonderful Bavarian atmosphere.

If you want to stretch your legs for a few hours, these local highlights are an absolute must-see:

🎭 Margravial Opera House (Markgräfliches Opernhaus): A breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site. The lavish baroque wooden interior will completely take your breath away.

🎼 The Festival Hall (Festspielhaus): Take a stroll up to the famous theatre that Wagner designed himself. While the exterior is understated, the wooden auditorium boasts world-class acoustics, and the orchestra is uniquely hidden entirely beneath the stage.

🌳 The Hermitage (Eremitage): If you need some fresh air, this historic palace park is perfect. You can enjoy a scenic walk among palaces, fountains, and beautiful water features.

🍺 Maisel's B**r Experience World (Maisel’s Bierlebniswelt): For a taste of German b**r culture, Bayreuth is home to one of the world’s largest brewery museums. It is the perfect spot for a refreshing local brew once the car is parked!

Is this Germany’s most beautiful castle? 🏰🇩🇪

While many flock to the Bavarian Alps, those on a road trip through Saxony will find a very strong contender just 13km from Dresden: Schloss Moritzburg.

Originally built in 1542 as a hunting lodge, it was later transformed into a Baroque masterpiece by Augustus the Strong 👑

Inside, the castle is open to the public and houses one of Europe’s most significant collections of hunting trophies alongside incredible, ornate gold-embossed leather wallpapers 🦌

Perhaps its most unique treasure is the 'Feather Room', decorated with over a million colourful bird feathers—a display of royal extravagance unlike anything else in the world 🪶

Unlike nearby Dresden, which was devastated in 1945, Moritzburg survived the Second World War largely intact 🛡️ As the Red Army approached, the Saxon royals buried crates of silver treasure in the castle forest.

While most was seized by Soviet troops in 1946, a final hidden treasure remained undiscovered until it was accidentally unearthed by archaeologists in 1996 💎

Does Moritzburg take the top spot, or is there another German castle that beats it? 👇

The ultimate Bavarian road trip pit stop? 🇩🇪🚗

If you’re driving through Southern Germany, you have to pull over for Bamberg.

Known as the "Venice of Germany," this UNESCO gem is the perfect break between Nuremberg and Würzburg. Whether you’re there for the iconic Old Town Hall perched over the river or a glass of their famous "Smoked B**r" (Rauchbier), it’s a fairy tale come to life. 🏰✨

🏰 Lübeck: The Grand Finale Before the Ferry

For many of us heading north, the A1 motorway usually means one thing: the end of the road is near. But before you roll onto the ferry to Denmark or Sweden, there is one more town waiting to be discovered - the medieval masterpiece, Lübeck.

Here is why you should consider one last detour:

🧱 The Altstadt & Holstentor The entire Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can’t miss the city’s iconic 15th-century gate, the Holstentor, as you approach the town centre

📖 The World of Buddenbrooks Lübeck is the setting of Thomas Mann’s Nobel Prize-winning novel, Buddenbrooks. You can visit the Buddenbrookhaus, the former home of the Mann family, which brings the grand and dramatic history of the city’s wealthy merchant families to life

🍬 The Capital of Marzipan You haven’t truly visited Lübeck until you’ve stepped into Café Niederegger. Whether you love the sweet almond treat or not, their marzipan museum and shop are a legendary part of the town's soul

🎄 A Fairytale Christmas If you are travelling in late November or December, Lübeck hosts one of Germany’s most authentic Christmas markets. The scent of roasted almonds and mulled w**e against the backdrop of red-brick Gothic churches is pure magic

🎢 Family Thrills & Coastal Breezes Travelling with kids? Hansa-Park is just up the road. It is the only theme park in Germany located right by the sea. Or, for a quieter break, head to the pier at Timmendorfer Strand to breathe in the salty air before your ferry crossing

Road Trip Tip: ⚓ Lübeck is perfectly positioned for those using the ferries to Scandinavia. It’s the ideal place for a final German dinner or an overnight stay to ensure you catch the early morning departure feeling refreshed.

Are you a "straight to the ferry" driver, or do you like to squeeze in one last historic stop like Lübeck? 👇

🏭 The Ruhr Area: Germany’s Most Underrated Road Trip Surprise?

Most travellers see the Ruhrgebiet as nothing more than a dense network of motorways to be bypassed as quickly as possible. But if you take a turn-off, you’ll find one of the most fascinating urban landscapes in Europe.

The Ruhr was once the industrial heartbeat of Europe. It was a powerhouse of coal mines and steel mills. Today, this history has been transformed into a world of "industrial nature," world-class art, and a premier destination for cycling.

Here is why you should consider a pit stop here:

🎨 UNESCO World Heritage: Zollverein
Located in Essen, this was once the world’s largest coal mine. It is now a stunning architectural site where you can walk amongst giant machines or visit the Red Dot Design Museum. 🏗️

🚲 A Cyclist’s Paradise: The Industrial Heritage Trail
The region features a massive network of over 700 km of cycle paths, including the famous RuhrtalRadweg. Many of these routes follow old railway lines, creating flat, green corridors that connect monuments without you ever having to worry about cars. It’s perfect if you have bikes on the back of the car and need a proper leg-stretch. 🌳

🎢 Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain
In Duisburg, you’ll find a massive sculpture that looks like a rollercoaster, but it’s actually a walkway. It sits on top of an old slag heap and offers an incredible view of the industrial horizon.

🌳 Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord
An abandoned ironworks turned into a public park. You can climb old blast furnaces for a view or see the site illuminated in spectacular colours at night. It feels like stepping onto a sci-fi film set. 🛸

Road Trip Tip: 🛎️
The Ruhr area is perfectly located where the A1, A2, and A3 meet. Whether you want to explore the "Magic Mountain" on foot or cycle a section of the old railway trails, it’s a brilliant break from the Autobahn.

🛣️ How many kilometres of Autobahn do you think Germany has?

The German motorway network is one of the most dense in the world. In terms of sheer length, it is only surpassed by China, the USA, and Spain - all of which cover a significantly larger land area than Germany. 🌍

The answer? Germany boasts a staggering 13,200 km of Autobahn! 🏎️💨

The longest stretch is the A7, which begins at the Danish border in Jutland and travels 963 km south before reaching its end at Füssen in the Bavarian Alps. 🏔️🇩🇪

🕰️ Regensburg: A Medieval Gem with a Giant Secret

Driving along the A3 or A93? Don't just pass by! Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure that escaped WWII unscathed, making it a perfect time capsule stop on your road trip.

Here is why you should take the detour:

🌳 The Allee of the Giants (Pappelallee)
A local secret on the Oberer Wöhrd island. This avenue of ancient, towering trees feels like a natural cathedral making it perfect for a peaceful walk away from the crowds.

🏘️ The Stone Bridge
Walk across the 12th-century Steinerne Brücke. It’s a medieval engineering marvel with the best views of the city skyline and the Danube.

🍴 History You Can Taste
Right by the bridge is the Historische Wurstküche. They’ve been serving grilled sausages for over 850 years! It’s officially the world’s oldest sausage kitchen.

🏰 Gothic Majesty
Don't miss St. Peter’s Cathedral. Its twin spires dominate the city, and the 14th-century stained glass inside is breathtaking.

Road Trip Tip: 🛎️
Skip the motorway service station and spend an hour here instead. It’s the perfect midway point towards Vienna or Prague.

Are you a fan of medieval history, or do you prefer finding hidden nature spots like the Allee of the Giants? 👇

🏰 Neuschwanstein & Füssen: The Fairytale Finale

If you follow the A7 motorway to the very edge of the Austrian border, you’ll find the ultimate road trip reward: Füssen.

As Bavaria’s highest town, it’s a stunning mix of Alpine peaks, turquoise lakes, and history. Here’s why it deserves a spot on your itinerary:

🏰 A Romantic Masterpiece: Just outside town sits Neuschwanstein Castle. With its soaring white turrets perched on a rugged cliff, it is the ultimate symbol of 19th-century romanticism and looks like something straight out of a storybook.

🏘️ Old World Charm: The town centre is a maze of cobblestones and colourful facades. Don't miss the view from the Hohes Schloss towers—it offers a fabulous perspective over the rooftops and the mountains.

🏔️ Alpine Nature: Whether you fancy a lakeside stroll or a mountain hike, the landscape here is a paradise for nature lovers.

Where to stay? 🚗

Füssen is popular, so book ahead!

🛌 Pension Rexha am Weißensee: Perfect for families, easy parking, and incredible lake views.

🛌 Best Western Plus Hotel Füssen: Right in town with EV charging and great facilities.

Road Trip Tip:
Füssen is the perfect "last stop" in Germany. I recommend staying for a night or two to soak in the Bavarian atmosphere before you cross the border into Austria.

Which do you prefer: exploring historic town centres or heading out into the mountains? 👇
