7 Most Beautiful Cities in Germany

The Boutique Adventurer

It is not easy to narrow down the most beautiful cities in Germany. So many features UNESCO world heritage sites, beautiful old towns, preserved medieval architecture, charming town squares, and of course Christmas markets.

1

Berlin

Now, “Beautiful” in the traditional sense may not apply to Berlin, but there’s an undeniable sense of true love in the way the city expresses its troubled history.

2

Cologne

Aside from being one of the most visually interesting, Cologne may well be the hippest and coolest of the cities on this list. It’s also very relaxed.

Leipzig

Some call it the new Berlin. It’s a relatively small city, but it enjoys a rather bohemian atmosphere, with coffee shops and art-centric spaces to explore.

4

Munich

This Bavarian city is known for castles and amazing forested surroundings (the views in winter are spectacular).

5

Nuremberg

It has a history dating all the way back to the Holy Roman Empire. Much of the old city is encircled by a wall built in those times.

6

Stuttgart

Stuttgart on the Neckar River is a truly beautiful old city bordering the Black Forest. Incidentally, this is also where the original cake recipe comes from.

7

Berchtesgaden

The town itself is super cute with colourful buildings, flower boxes in what seems like every window and many beautiful painted murals.
