Think of Germany in winter and the twinkling lights of Christmas markets come to mind. But, the country’s magic echoes beyond December.

Dresden is home to opera houses, theatres, and world-class museums all woven into Baroque architecture. Journey west to Frankfurt and find riverside promenades and cosy traditional quarters set against a metropolitan backdrop. Venture northwest to North Rhine-Westphalia and marry the fast-paced cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Bonn with unhurried hikes through the snow-dusted landscapes of the Sauerland and Eifel.
