Relaxation in the countryside or a cultural city break? With a hotel in southern Germany, you have the choice. The spa town of Baden-Baden, with its well-kept parks and luxurious casino, is a classy place. The half-timbered town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is splendidly medieval. An exclusive winter sports resort is Oberstdorf, where everything revolves around skiing and après-ski. In the metropolis of Munich, one moves between baroque buildings, art nouveau facades and the Oktoberfest. Smaller cities like Stuttgart, Freiburg or Heidelberg are also suitable for sightseeing and strolling through old town alleys.
