Experience the magic of Germany at Christmastime by visiting in late November or December to explore the country’s famous Christmas markets for lebkuchen paired with a mug of glühwein.
About Germany
Fairytale villages, stunning nature, awe-inspiring architecture, delicious food– Germany has it all. Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the historical aspect of Germany. Understanding history is the best way to avoid repeating it, and I believe it’s important for all travelers to visit WWII sites in Berlin and across the country to learn about the past and work toward a better future.
