Germany Travel Recommendations
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclaimer policy.
To make planning an epic trip easier for you, we’ve compiled 1) our recommended travel planning and booking platforms, 2) most essential travel items, and 3) guided tours and day trips in one place.
If you’ve found our free guides and insider tips helpful, please click on our links below before booking hotels, rental cars, apartments, guided day trips, tickets, and tours. There’s no additional cost to you. Thanks!
We book all kinds of great hotels & apartments here (refundable and no prepay).
For some apartments we've gotten better deals than on Airbnb (for the same apartment)!
Nervous about driving a rental car in Germany? We HIGHLY recommend Tripiamo's excellent Germany driving tutorial!
We use this site to check train times, prices, and to buy all of our train tickets & German Rail passes. It's the official site for the German train system.
This is where you can get great deals on long distance bus tickets for travel within Germany.
Don’t Forget These Travel Essentials
We use each of these items every single day while traveling in Germany (and beyond).
