Germany travel guide: 10 destinations

OFAQ WORLD covers 10 destinations in Germany, from big cities to two islands on the coast. Three large city guides carry most of the detail: Berlin and Munich with 100 places each, and Hamburg with 99. The other seven are compact guides of 25 places each, enough for a day trip or a short stay.

The Berlin guide is built around the Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island and the East Side Gallery. Munich covers Marienplatz, the English Garden and Bavarian classics, and lists Munich's airport (MUC). The Hamburg guide focuses on the harbour, the Speicherstadt and the Elbphilharmonie, with Hamburg's airport (HAM).

Cologne has its twin-spired cathedral, the Rhine promenades and the Chocolate Museum, and Dresden has the Zwinger, the rebuilt Frauenkirche and Baroque terraces on the Elbe. Frankfurt brings the Römer square, the Museum Embankment and skyline views from the Main Tower. Heidelberg pairs its castle ruins and Old Bridge with the Philosophers' Walk above the Neckar, and Nuremberg has the Imperial Castle, Dürer's house and the documentation centre at the Rally Grounds.

For the coast, the Rügen guide covers the chalk cliffs at Königsstuhl, the pier at Binz and Cape Arkona, and the Sylt guide covers North Sea dunes, the Red Cliff and thatched villages such as Keitum.
