Augsburg
Magical courtyard
In the middle of Augsburg's city center you will find here - a bit hidden - culinary and exquisite drinks for unforgettable summer nights with Mediterranean flair.
Incidentally, the inner courtyard - also known as the Damenhof - belongs to the Fugger Houses and is still owned by the Fugger family today. With its arcades supported by Tuscan columns, magnificently painted arches in the style of the Italian Renaissance, this was intended especially for the female members of the Fugger family. Today, the Damenhof serves as an open-air wine bar and is one of the most beautiful courtyards in Germany.

Tasting Menu
Old Love Restaurant

Each bite reflects the care and freshness of the ingredients, which come directly from their own nursery or the local countryside and Europe. The creations are characterized by regional influences and global inspirations, cooked with craftsmanship.
Ulm
The quirky hotel on the riverbank
The Leaning House in Ulm's fishing district is a sight not to be missed. With its unique architecture and history, it is a real eye-catcher.
The half-timbered house is not only crooked, but also the crookedest hotel in the world! Even though it looks impressive from the outside, it is also worth taking a look inside. The house has a long history and has been an integral part of the fishermen's quarter for 500 years. Although everything is crooked, the house is still standing and habitable.
Butjadingen
Magical moments between low and high tide
Exploring barefoot a landscape hidden by the sea twice a day is a unique experience for young and old. A hike on this unique natural ground offers direct contact with the cool mud landscape. Feeling the soft texture of the mudflats under your feet and discovering the fascinating flora and fauna makes this place a remarkable nature experience.
Freiburg im Breisgau
Schäufele and a Ganter, please.
Anyone strolling through Schusterstraße on a Saturday morning is almost magically "drawn" to the Deutsches Haus.
It's best not to resist, because the seats there fill up so quickly. No wonder, because the old Freiburg town house, which has been registered with the city since 1386, serves typical Freiburg beer (Ganter), Baden wines, Schäufele, sausage salad, Kässpätzle, Baden beef and Black Forest trout at rustic wooden tables. Down-to-earth cuisine. Great.
Regensburg
Welcome to Whisky Wonderland
A museum not only for freaks: This percentage panopticon with over 13,000 whisk(e)ys of the highest quality is not only worth seeing for nerds, but for everyone: there are wonderful stories about almost every exhibit.
From the Pope's letter and Charles and Diana's wedding whisky to the rocking Elvis bottle to spoils of war whisky and a whisky condom, everything is represented. Edutainment at its finest!
Essen
Cult bath of contrasts
An oasis of refreshment between industrial history and artistic flair. Where coke ovens once glowed, there is now a breathtaking pool in overseas containers. Nowadays you can bathe here in the immediate vicinity of the industrial furnaces. The swimming pool was created by the Frankfurt artists Dirk Paschke and Daniel Milohnic as part of an art project. Since then, the pool has symbolized the structural change of this impressive industrial region. Embedded in impressive industrial architecture, the 2.40-metre-deep pool offers a unique atmosphere. A work of art that makes you part of the scenery – through the holes in the container walls you can exchange glances and share unique moments. Enjoy the flair of the Ruhr area while you float in the pool. And after diving? Culinary delights in the café 'die kokerei', where the miner's maker and sweet treats await you.
Mannheim
High up with panoramic views
The best view over Mannheim is from the more than 200-metre-high telecommunications tower. With its central location between the banks of the Neckar and Luisenpark, it offers a breathtaking view over the Rhine plain and as far as the Odenwald. Enjoy the view while dining at the revolving Skyline restaurant, located just above the observation deck! The restaurant rotates completely on its own axis once in an hour. Along with Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf, the Mannheim telecommunications tower is one of the few of its kind where you can eat.
TIP: Mannheim and the region are particularly beautiful at sunset. The best way to enjoy the view is with a romantic candlelight dinner in the revolving restaurant.
Mannheim
Fancy Drinks & Leckere Tapas
An unbeatable view of the Rhine and Mannheim's famous harbour - plus fancy drinks and delicious tapas: all this awaits you in the bar in the Speicher7. The former emergency granary is now one of the hippest addresses in the city. You won't find so many fancy, delicious cocktails anywhere else!
Hanover
Maschsee jetty
Südstadt offers pure recreation, but you can still reach the city center in five minutes via Marienstraße and Hildesheimer Straße. Rumor has it that singles in particular prefer this part of town, perhaps because you can flirt so wonderfully while jogging around the Maschsee...Recently, more and more students have been drawn to Südstadt, although it is comparatively quiet here. What else? The Eisfabrik offers theater, art & culture and every Friday you can experience Hannover's largest weekly market at Stephansplatz.

Görlitz
Fantastic panoramic view
Perhaps the most beautiful tower in the most beautiful place in the old town, the Untermarkt.
Visitors can discover the town hall tower on a one-hour guided tour, as there is a lot to learn in the tower, which was first mentioned in 1378: from the pillory and the executioner to the moon phase clock and the everyday life of the tower guard. After climbing 191 steps, the ascent is rewarded with a fantastic view of the roofs of Görlitz's old town from a height of around 60 meters.
According to an old legend, a former tower watchman was walled into the town hall tower while still alive because he had slept instead of raising the alarm during a town fire. Today, his head is emblazoned in the center of the clock face. Every minute he opens his eyes and mouth in horror. The orange pupils reflect the fire of that day.
Chemnitz
Special feature worth seeing
The question is justified: Which one is which? Quite simply: the old one looks newer. The New Town Hall was spared during the air raids in 1945, but the Old Town Hall and the Jakobikirche behind it were not. The treasures inside the double town hall, such as the famous mural "Work - Prosperity - Beauty" by Max Klinger or the painting "The Weighing Up" by Neo Rauch, can be explored on a tour of the town hall and tower, as can the High Tower.
In addition, the town halls each have a carillon, which can be heard at certain times in the city center. The tower carillon in Chemnitz's New Town Hall, also known as the Carillon, is played by hand with its 48 bells. The carillon can be heard on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 am to 10:30 am and on Fridays from 4:30 pm to 5 pm. In the Old Town Hall, on the other hand, there is a figurative carillon with six bronze figures accompanied by 25 bells. The figures symbolize stages in Chemnitz's history and rotate daily at 11 am, 4 pm and 7 pm to the melody of the bells.
Chemnitz
Head, or simply "Nischel".
He always looks a little grim and has seen a lot in the meantime. The Nischl (the Saxon word for "head") is the city's landmark. Between 1971 and 1989, it was mainly the backdrop for socialist celebrations, but today the 40-tonne colossus is Chemnitz's most popular photo motif, a meeting point for skaters and probably the heaviest decoration for concerts at the Kopp.
Leipzig
Steps at St. Philip's Church
The steps on the banks of the Karl Heine Canal are considered an absolute hotspot for relaxation and enjoyment during the hot season. In the west of Leipzig, not far from St. Philip's Church, the stone steps overlook the water. The hustle and bustle and noise of the city are far away, so the steps are the perfect place to soak up some warm sun rays. In the summer, a number of Leipzigers from the adjacent neighborhood gather here to enjoy hours of sunshine and conversation together, to picnic, or to watch the passing gondolas, canoes, and boats.
Hamburg
"Going on the hustle?"
Created in Altona. How so? Prostitution was forbidden in the German Empire. But in Denmark, and Altona belonged to it at that time, it was not. To attract German clients, Danish prostitutes walked along the border between Altona and Hamburg. "At some point, "Auf den Strich" became a synonym for "prostitute yourself.
Görlitz
Animal family fun
The Görlitz-Zgorzelec Nature Conservation Zoo invites you to meet animals with its many walk-through enclosures, including ibex, deer and giant grey kangaroos. The Görlitz zoo is also home to the only Tibetan village in Europe with authentically recreated houses and animals typical of the country.
Themed playgrounds such as the discovery barn with indoor play facilities are not only fun, they also encourage playful exploration of topics such as globalization and sustainability.
Görlitz
The mountain is calling.
Have you ever climbed a volcano? The Landeskrone not only offers breathtaking views of Görlitz and the picturesque surroundings, but also holds a fascinating secret: the formation of the Landeskrone is of volcanic origin. Once rising from the depths of the earth, the Landeskrone is now a green paradise for exploring and relaxing. Rising almost 420 meters above sea level, Görlitz's local mountain is a landmark visible from afar in the district of Biesnitz.
For families who like to be active, there are numerous opportunities to explore the Landeskrone. Whether on foot or by bike, the trails are suitable for all levels of difficulty and offer a wonderful opportunity to spend time together in the fresh air. Picnic areas along the route invite you to linger, so you can fortify yourself while your gaze wanders into the distance. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Schneekoppe in Poland or the Jeschken in Liberec.
At the top of the Landeskrone, you can treat yourself to an ice cream at the kiosk or climb the observation tower to enjoy great views of the city.
