Discover the best city breaks to Germany in 2025 and 2026 and learn rich history, discover hidden nightclubs and try out traditional food, amongst plenty of other incredible sights and sounds. From Hamburg in the north to Munich in the south, with a number of excellent places to uncover, German city breaks are excellent escapes.
There are loads of daily flights from the UK to Germany, including regional departures like Bristol, Manchester and Edinburgh. Direct flights to Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Cologne and many others make it so easy to get here.
Once you've arrived, public transport whether bus, metro or train is easy and very well connected, allowing you to get into the city centre as quickly as possible. Getting around a city is generally pretty easy, if not by foot (one of the best ways to explore a city is to walk). Getting between cities throughout the country can also be straightforward too, with the well connected Deutsche Bahn train network. Bookings for intercity railway journeys should be booked in advance for the best prices.
While the weather can be amazing in Summer, it can also get quite busy with tourists, Spring and Autumn can be good times to visit Germany. Not too hot and not too cold. April, May, September and October can be good months. If you're planning a Christmas market break, December will obviously be the key time to travel but just make sure you pack warm clothes for your trip!
