The 100 best things to do in Germany 26/33

Here are the 100 best things to do in Germany that will show you the charm, beauty and cultural diversity of this country.

Germany is rich with surprises and contrasts just waiting to be discovered by the discerning tourist. A country of enchanting little villages nestling between lofty and imposing mountains, fairytale castles and churches and lush vineyards rolling down towards the banks of the Rhine or the Mosel, Germany also boasts of the more rumbustious Munich Beer Festival and the Cologne Carnival, a very fine choice of gateaux, sausages and beer and a powerful and somewhat spooky folkloric tradition.

76. Städel Museum (Frankfurt)

The Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main was founded in 1851 and has since expanded to become one of the most highly-acclaimed art museums in Germany, with art collections spanning seven centuries. On a 4,000 square metre display area, it houses over 2,700 paintings, 100,000 drawings and prints and more than 600 sculptures. It was designated Museum of the Year in 2012 by the German Art Critics Association and is a favored attraction in Frankfurt for art lovers from all over the world.

The Museum is barely 3 kilometres from the railway station (five minutes by car or 15 minutes on foot).

77. Monsterkabinett (Berlin)

In the eerie cellars of Haus Schwarzenberg in Berlin, the artist Hannes Heiner has created an underground world peopled by bizarre creatures, half monster and half robot, which he has created out of recycled waste materials. These creatures have feelings; they sing, dance and tell their stories. For anyone who loves the grotesque and doesn`t mind the odd shock, Berlin`s monster cabinet is full of fascination and surprise.

The Monsterkabinett is only open Thursdays through Saturdays in the afternoon. Admission for children under six is not recommended. The Monsterkabinett is 10 minutes by car and around half an hour on foot from the main railway station. Nearest subway station is Hackescher Markt.

 

78. Krämerbrücke (Erfurt)

The Krämerbrücke, or “merchants bridge”, is a bridge dating from mediaeval times lined with 60 quaint, half-timbered houses. It spans the Breitstrom fork of the river Gera and is 79 metres long, thus unique in Europe and the longest inhabited bridge worldwide. It is also wonderfully picturesque, particularly at night when the lights reflect in the water.

Erfurt lies approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Leipzig. It is the largest town in Thuringia and has its own airport. The Krämerbrücke is only 1 kilometre from the railway station and can be reached by car or on foot within 13 minutes.
