• Berlin

  Country/Region: Germany

  

  If you’re into art, music, and everything a little offbeat, Berlin is your playground. The city is packed with creativity – from massive murals and pop-up galleries to underground exhibitions in abandoned buildings. Every neighborhood has its own flavor, with Kreuzberg and Neukölln leading the charge in artsy cool. And when the sun goes down? Berlin turns into one of the best party cities on the planet. Legendary clubs, secret bars, experimental performances – it’s a nonstop celebration of freedom and expression. In Berlin, art doesn’t just hang on walls – it spills into the streets and onto the dance floor.

• Düsseldorf

  Country/Region: Germany

  

  Stunning architecture, a lively art scene, and local beer culture – Düsseldorf has it all. No wonder locals call it the most beautiful city on the river Rhine. Head to the city’s transformed former harbor, the Medienhafen, for striking modern architecture, or explore the buzzing nightlife of the old town, home to the “longest bar in the world.” Just don’t forget your cameras and enough film – you’ll need them when visiting Düsseldorf!

• Munich

  Country/Region: Germany

  

  Many think of Oktoberfest first, a celebration of Bavarian culture. But Munich has a lot more to offer. With countless museums and this whole creative underground that most tourists miss. Step outside and it softens into green, with a scatter of parks offering space to pause.
