## Cities

- [Hamburg](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/hamburg/) - This formerly Hanseatic city on the Elbe is home to more millionaires than any other. It is a port city, with lakes and canals for recreation, and a resurgent docklands being converted for living and leisure.
- [Berlin](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/berlin/) - The revitalised capital city has been a huge success in tourism terms in recent years. Creative, imperious, ethnically mixed and very culturally rich, it is a city of key neighbourhoods, and this hotel selection reflects all that.
- [Cologne](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/cologne/) - Founded by the Romans, and the starting point for many a Rhine cruise, Cologne is a city for meetings and the media, with a famous cathedral, huge trade fairs, and a very hospitable tradition of city centre breweries.
- [Frankfurt](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/frankfurt/) - Germany’s commercial capital is a place of gleaming towers on the banks of the river Main, and comfortable with its nicknames of Mainhattan and Bankfurt. But big finance sponsors great culture, too.
- [Munich](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/munich/) - The Bavarian capital is a place of fine shopping, elegant hotels, extensive parklands, beer gardens and festivals, along with palatial cultural attractions such as the Pinakothek and the Nymphenburg palace.
- [Bremen](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/bremen/) - One of the former Hanseatic city-states, Bremen is still a port (along with Bremerhaven) and still proud of its individuality. Its old town on the river Weser is a place of merchants’ houses and crooked lanes.
- [Mannheim](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/city/mannheim/)

## Länder

- [Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen)](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/lower-saxony-niedersachsen/) - Lower Saxony (or Niedersachsen) is the low-lying coastal area that stretches across from the Dutch border to Hamburg, and includes all the offshore islands in the North Sea. Southwards it also incorporates Hanover and part of the Harz Mountains.
- [Brandenburg](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/brandenburg/) - Brandenburg is the wide Berlin hinterland. Lakes to the north, the Spreewald to the south, Potsdam to the west and the Polish border to the east. Hotels can be grand – and surprisingly cheap, although they’ll be busy with Berliners at the weekend.
- [Bavaria](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/bavaria/) - Bavaria is the largest of the regions. Tourist areas are Upper Bavaria (mountains plus Munich), Lower Bavaria (including the Danube), Franconia with cities like Würzburg, Nuremberg and Bamberg, and the Allgau (mountains and Füssen).
- [Thuringia](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/thuringia/) - A region of forests and classical German culture which sits between Frankfurt and Dresden, Thuringia’s capital city is Erfurt, although its best-known city is Weimar, where the likes of Goethe, Luther, and Bach found inspiration.
- [Saxony](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/saxony/) - Saxony is sits on the Czech border due south of Berlin. Main cities are Leipzig and Dresden, with the vineyard-lined Elbe river a key feature. Its southernmost mountains, the so-called Saxon Switzerland, are busy with climbers in summer and skiers in winter.
- [Baden-Württemberg](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/baden-wurttemberg-2/) - Baden-Württemberg is best known for the Black Forest and for Stuttgart, with borders to France and to Switzerland. Lots of lakes, mountains, spas, fine places to stay, hiking trails and skiing. It’s also a big wine area around Stuttgart.
- [Rhineland Palatinate](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/rhineland-palatinate-2/) - RLP, which lies south and west of Frankfurt, tucked up against the border with France, is Germany’s most spectacular wine-growing region, thanks to the Rhine and the Mosel rivers. Rich in castles, forests and vineyards.
- [Hesse](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/hesse/) - Hesse is the oft-overlooked central part of the country, homeland of Grimm’s Fairytales, with Frankfurt in its southwest corner and Kassel up in its northeast. Marburg, in the middle, is one of several pretty half-timbered towns.
- [Mecklenburg-Vorpommern](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/mecklenburg-vorpommern/) - This mouthful of a region includes all the Baltic coast between Lübeck and the Polish border, with resorts like Rügen and Kühlungsborn, and the Mecklenburg lakes inland. An inexpensive place for family holidays, free of industry.
- [North Rhine-Westphalia](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/north-rhine-westphalia/) - ‘NRW’ is the former industrial heartland of Germany, particularly around the Ruhr, where cities like Essen, Dortmund and Bochum merge into one another. Cologne sits to the south, Münster to the north and Paderborn out east.
- [Saarland](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/saarland/) - The smallest of the German regions, Saarland nestles against the French border on Germany’s western midriff. Its main city is Saarbrucken, and it was actually part of France until 1956.
- [Saxony-Anhalt](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/saxony-anhalt/) - This wedge of land sits between Berlin and Hanover, with Magdeburg as the main city. Once a buffer zone along the border with west Germany, its main physical feature is the Harz Mountains, part of which is also in Lower Saxony.
- [Schleswig-Holstein](https://germanyiswunderbar.com/hotels/region/schleswig-holstein-2/) - The neck of land that grows out of the shoulders of Hamburg and Lübeck, and reaches up to Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein is where Germany starts to get Scandinavian. Main city is Kiel, on the Kiel Canal.
