For instance, those who love museums will love <em><strong>Museum Island<\/strong><\/em>. Sports fans can catch games at the <strong>Berlin Olympic Stadium<\/strong> or the <strong>Mercedes-Benz Arena<\/strong>. Music fans will find bars, clubs, and concerts covering all genres.

If you&#8217;re a practiced wine enthusiast, you&#8217;re likely familiar with this famous German wine region and some of the wines it produces. Undoubtedly, the most famous grape variety grown here is Riesling, but quality <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>M\u00fcller-Thurgau<\/strong><\/span>, <strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Pinot Gris<\/span><\/strong> and <strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Chardonnay<\/span><\/strong> is also made. On the red front, <strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Pinot Noir<\/span><\/strong> is the dominant variety. Archeology has also shown that winemaking throughout the area is nothing new, considering that a number of ancient Roman wine presses have been found.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This region is just as vast as it is beautiful, yet it perhaps doesn&#8217;t receive the attention it deserves given that there are over 5,000 wine producers crafting delicious red and white juice in over 125 towns. Topographically, the Mosel stands out for its steep-sloped vineyard terraces, and during harvest virtually all grapes are picked by hand.

Pfalz is an important wine region in the country, though it&#8217;s perhaps not as well know as Mosel. Like the Mosel, they produce a substantial portion of Riesling, M\u00fcller-Thurgau and Pinot Noir, but it&#8217;s actually the red Dornfelder grape that is continuing to step up in popularity and worth keeping an eye on. Pinot Gris, Gew\u00fcrztraminer and Pinot Blanc-based wines are also produced. Over 10,000 organizations grow grapevines here and sell to a variety of winemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the traveler, this is a beautiful region to visit if medieval towns and laid-back vibes are your thing. The countryside is stunning, with a variety of castles and valleys that dot the landscape. In fact, it&#8217;s a little-known secret that exploring Pfalz on bike or on foot is perhaps the best way to experience the region. Locals tend to be extremely friendly, and they take pride in their wine and cuisine. So after a long day of being outdoorsy, settle into a quaint bed and breakfast and try local, seasonal dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of high-end hotels and restaurants throughout Pfalz, but if we had to pick one place to stay, it would be on a vineyard at <strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/26kz\" target=\"_blank\">Wohlfuhlhotel Alte Rebschule<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a name=\"dresden\"><\/a>Dresden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dresden-germany-visit-things-to-do.jpg\" alt=\"best places to visit in Germany: Dresden\" class=\"wp-image-15074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dresden-germany-visit-things-to-do.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dresden-germany-visit-things-to-do-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dresden-germany-visit-things-to-do-310x175.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dresden is one of Germany&#8217;s most beautiful cities, especially due to its mix of Baroque, Renaissance, and Modern architecture. You&#8217;ll be amazed by sights such as the <strong>Frauenkirche Dresden<\/strong>, the <strong>Zwinger<\/strong>, and the <strong>Dresden Royal Palace and Museums<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll also find many museums and galleries throughout the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also one of the best hubs for day trips in the entire country. Many people use Dresden as a jump-off point to explore the <strong>Saxon Wine Route<\/strong> and the breathtaking <strong>Saxon Switzerland Mountains<\/strong>. If you feel like venturing a little further, Dresden is also close to <strong>Berlin<\/strong>, <strong>Prague<\/strong>, and <strong>Warsaw<\/strong>, making it easy to visit three iconic cities across three countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a name=\"fussen\"><\/a>F\u00fcssen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-15075 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Neuschwanstein-Castle-best-things-to-do-in-Germany.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Neuschwanstein-Castle-best-things-to-do-in-Germany.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Neuschwanstein-Castle-best-things-to-do-in-Germany-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Neuschwanstein-Castle-best-things-to-do-in-Germany-310x206.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aerial perspective of Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

What&#8217;s more, you can visit the <strong>High Castle of F\u00fcssen<\/strong> or even set off on one of the numerous nearby hiking trails to get some of the most incredible views of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neuschwanstein Castle<\/strong> (which we mentioned earlier) and <strong>Hohenschwangau Castle<\/strong> are both a 5-minute drive away, although they&#8217;re also close enough to reach on foot if you want to take a hike and enjoy the sights. Not only are these castles beautiful in themselves but they also offer incredible panoramic views of the surrounding area.

On the wine side, it differentiates from the Mosel in that one of its classic grapes (Riesling) tends to be a bit less petrolic in flavor and more fruity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The region is dotted with gorgeous little wine villages that follow the river for miles, all with vineyards often running right up to the water&#8217;s edge.

He first became involved with wine traveling after a month-long solo trip to Spain about 10 years ago, planning the trip almost exclusively around the gastronomic scene of the country. Ever since that particular trip abroad, he developed a passion for traveling and making wine tourism the core driver behind where he ends up. This has since led him to exciting destinations including the Czech Republic, to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Portugal, California, Washington State, Canada and beyond. His primary aim through Winetraveler is to expose this style of travel to the world and make it accessible to everyone.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/winetraveler","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/winederlust","https:\/\/x.com\/Winederlusting","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCTmUbf3eq7vK0Z6wx1jrLwg"],"url":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/author\/greig\/"}]}},"modified_by":"Greig Santos-Buch","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",1254,836,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-1024x683.jpg",1024,683,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",1254,836,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",1254,836,false],"rect-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-333x180.jpg",333,180,true],"square-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-280x280.jpg",280,280,true],"marquee_2x":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",1254,836,false],"marquee_1x":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",1254,836,false],"headshot":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-500x500.jpg",500,500,true],"show_card":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-535x800.jpg",535,800,true],"gallery":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-750x400.jpg",750,400,true],"hp_featured":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-1000x700.jpg",1000,700,true],"wprm-metadata-1_1":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",500,333,false],"wprm-metadata-4_3":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",500,333,false],"wprm-metadata-16_9":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany.jpg",405,270,false],"winetraveler-thumb-hard-crop":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-310x206.jpg",310,206,true],"winetraveler-thumb_height_auto":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-310x207.jpg",310,207,true],"profile_24":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-24x24.jpg",24,24,true],"profile_48":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-48x48.jpg",48,48,true],"profile_96":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-96x96.jpg",96,96,true],"profile_150":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"profile_300":["https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/best-places-to-visit-in-germany-300x300.jpg",300,300,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Greig Santos-Buch","author_link":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/author\/greig\/"},"uagb_comment_info":3,"uagb_excerpt":"If you&#8217;re a fan of beer, wine, beautiful sights, and European culture, then Germany should be your next travel destination.
