Located in the heart of Europe, Germany is a great destination whether summer or winter. The small towns and cities will be filled with soccer fans this summer as millions come to see their home teams in the FIFA World Cup. Wonderful new and improved (old) stadiums are ready for the best players in the world to do their thing. From the capital Berlin to Frankfurt and Gelsenkirchen there will be vibrant masses of people enjoying the events. Locals and visitors can enjoy the great sporting occasion and the fantastic atmosphere even without tickets- big screens will show the matches in  every major town. Soccer heaven.

The summer season is one of the better times to visit Germany. Clear blue skies and warm sunny weather added to the great atmosphere makes for a great experience. The visually stunning Berlin celebrates its diversity with festivals, great theatres, restaurants, outdoor events and a thriving club scene. Visit Quedlinburg in the Harz Mountains, Meersburg on Lake Constance in the southeast, the Black Forest for hiking and walking and the lake region surrounding the splendid city of Hamburg. Explore the cities of Cologne with the glorious Gothic cathedral and Heidelberg, the centre of learning, before travelling through the diverse countryside to the parks of Lower Saxony Wattenmeer, Bavarian Forest and Swabian-Franconian Forest. Visitors to Germany will love the country, whatever time or place they chose to visit.
