Bremen
Not just the home of Beck’s Bier - but an interactive and futuristic science museum (Universum) and the 15th century Schnoor quarter for that vital Instagram moment
Bremen: Couple with bicycles at the river, Ingo Wagner
Erfurt
Medieval university town (it’s been good enough for Martin Luther) with tasty specialities: Thuringian sausages and hand-made chocolates; favourite hangout is Engelsburg’s vaulted cellar
Erfurt, Merchant’s bridge, Andreas Strauss
Freiburg
Surrounded by the Black Forest – a gastronomic heaven - think the real Black Forest Gateau, home-made pasta parcels and mushrooms galore – and one of Germany’s environmentally friendliest city
Freiburg im Breisgau: Schwabentor gate, Francesco Carovillano
Lübeck
Unspoken law – don’t visit without a selfie stick; from the Hanseatic league gothic red brick buildings to the annual Christmas Market – this town is one big photo opportunity
Hanseatic Lübeck, Old town and sunset, H & D Zielske
Nürnberg
Here the Youth hostel is in a medieval castle and downtown visit the transport museum (not only train spotters will love it); note to self: sausages and gingerbread are compulsory
Nürnberg: view of Kaiserburg, Uwe Niklas
Würzburg
Castles with history, picturesque river scenery with vineyards and cosy wine taverns – this neat historic university town is the whole shebang
Würzburg: Innenstadt, Francesco Carovillano
Heidelberg
Germany’s oldest university town has Romance written all over it – follow in Mark Twain’s footsteps and walk up to the castle or chill out with a picnic on the banks of the river Neckar
Heidelberg: Old Bridge and Heidelberg Castle, Francesco Carovillano
Münster
Bike rides along the castles in the Münster/Osnabrück area legendary – but so is the Docklands festival with three open air stages and the town’s clubs putting on a techno spectacle
Radfahrer vor Schloss Münster, Matthias Duschner
Aachen
History buffs look out for Charlemagne’s golden bust but the town also boasts cool swimming pools – and a 500 year old recipe for sweet and spicy biscuits (Printen)
Aachen: Carolus Therme, Olaf Rohl
