Even the very name invokes images of magic and fairytales. This is the kind of forest you imagine Red Riding Hood running through or where Snow White meets the Seven Dwarfs… There are so many reasons why this magical fairytale-esque forest should be visited in person and here are some of them! Image Via … Continue Reading
Neuschwanstein castle is arguably the most famous and definitely one of the most impressive of all the castles in Germany and our trip to Bavaria just wouldn’t be complete without visiting. The first thing I wanted to do when we arrived there was find the best view point to take it all in but here’s … Continue Reading
For how much I love visiting Germany to see family (and for its Christmas markets), I realise that there’s so much of Germany I still haven’t seen and that I really REALLY wanted to. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we rectified that with Cologne and this city is such a treat and a fantastic … Continue Reading
Leipzig is something of a ‘hidden gem’ in Germany. And yes, I use that term very loosely as Leipzig really isn’t hidden (far from) but it most certainly is a gem. It’s such an important city in Germany for reasons (one of which is really HUGE) that a lot of people the world over really … Continue Reading
A trip to Berlin’s Flohmarkt in Mauerpark is one of the things everyone seems to recommend that you do.

Leaving the party at Museum Ludwig, we decided to go with the easy option and head next door to the Roman-Germanic Museum. The vibe here is a lot more laid back, even down to the musical act which made for a great cool-down spot with a brew while popping between ancient Roman artefacts. As Lloyd … Continue Reading
Weihnachtszauber am Gendarmenmarkt is arguably the best Christmas market in Berlin! The location alone, right outside Berlin’s Konzerthaus (and next two of it’s most iconic churches – Neue Kirche a.k.a. Deutscher Dom and Französischer Dom, the German and French churches, respectively) makes it one of the best spots to be in the city during the … Continue Reading
This day in Bavaria was all about nature and although we’d started off the trip looking to see amazing palaces and castles (of which there are some pretty spectacular hidden gems here), taking a moment to appreciate Germany’s stunning countryside was just such an amazing way to spend a day! After leaving Walchensee, we headed … Continue Reading
