With about 82 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous member state of the European Union. Germany's capital and largest metropolis is Berlin, while its largest conurbation is the Ruhr, with its main centres of Dortmund and Essen. The country's other major cities are Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Leipzig, Bremen, Dresden, Hannover, and Nuremberg. Elevation ranges from the mountains of the Alps in the south to the shores of the North Sea in the northwest and the Baltic Sea  in the northeast. The forested uplands of central Germany and the lowlands of northern Germany are traversed by such major rivers as the Rhine, Danube and Elbe. Germany's alpine glaciers are experiencing deglaciation. When thinking of Germany, beer, lederhosen and Alpine hats quickly come to mind, but these stereotypes mostly relate to Bavarian culture and do not represent Germany as a whole. Germany is a vast and diverse country with 16 culturally unique states that have been politically united since 1871. Even within states there is often considerable cultural diversity.

What we stand for

Don't just travel the world, live it.

Its capital is Dresden, and its largest city is Leipzig. Saxony is particularly sought after by urban and cultural tourists. Families, sportspeople and holidaymakers who care about their fitness are more attracted to the medium-sized mountains and regions dominated by heathland, ponds and rivers. Particularly rich in castles and palaces, Saxony is one of the most beautiful regions of Germany, both for its architecture and its natural landscapes. Leipzig is one of the capitals of classical music, where Bach, Schuman, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Mahler and von Weber worked. Dresden, with its incomparable baroque and rococo historic center, could be the most beautiful city in Germany.
