Destination Germany

The good things are so close - anyone who prefers a short journey or is looking for a suitable short break destination will find what they are looking for in Hall 3 of the trade fair, which is dedicated entirely to Germany as a travel destination and thus follows the trend towards vacations in one's own country. Germany is and remains one of the most popular vacation destinations for German citizens. Hall 3 features the most fascinating vacation destinations from the Baltic and North Sea coasts to the Zugspitze, as well as the most beautiful excursion destinations and vacation regions in Saxony. Short trips are particularly suitable for families, which the Dresden 2025 travel trade fair addresses with numerous tailor-made offers.

Why Germany is such a popular travel destination

According to a study by the Forschungsgemeinschaft Urlaub und Reisen (FUR), 30 percent of Germans booked a vacation at home last year. What's more, the many horror stories from abroad make it even more likely that the best times of the year will be spent within the country's borders. And there are already some very positive aspects to exploring your own country.

Arrival and departure

"Why wander far away when the good things are so close?" This saying, based on the opening verses of Goethe's quatrain "Remembrance", seems to fit travelers like a glove. After all, those who decide to take a short break in Germany can look forward to relatively short arrival and departure times, depending on the destination. The bottom line is: the quicker you can get from your home to the hotel, the more time you have to enjoy your vacation.

Time out for everyone

Whether sauna, whirlpool, swimming or brine baths - anyone who is caught up in the stress of everyday life can quickly treat themselves to a break in Germany. Spas and health resorts, for example, are ideal destinations. This is because health-promoting measures can be carried out here. But good sea air and soothing beauty moments are also very popular for relaxing and unwinding. Because at wellness resorts, the name says it all. And in the extensive spas, everything is done for the well-being of the guests.

Variety: nature and action

Germany has an incredible range of different regions and landscapes to offer. Picturesque river valleys, coastal stretches with sandy beaches, islands, lake landscapes, mountains and hills: nature lovers are spoiled for choice. And those who prefer action are drawn to the metropolitan areas. The largest cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt am Main and Stuttgart have a lot to offer. But other vacation destinations in Germany also offer a wide range of activities.

Cultural offerings

Concerts, festivals, musicals, theater performances and museums - an extraordinary cultural experience can crown a vacation in Germany with unforgettable moments. Weimar is, of course, a symbol of classicism in literature and on the stage. If you want to fully indulge in cultural delights during a trip, you can't go past the fourth largest city in Thuringia. In the former workplace of Goethe and Schiller, guests can feel the spirit of the famous German writers almost everywhere in the beautiful old town.

Culinary delights

Germany's cuisine is as diverse as its cultural landscape. Many regions have their own culinary delights and delicacies in store. Whether hearty Franconian meat dishes, Swabian spaetzle specialties, Hessian Ebbelwoi, Labskaus, kale with Pinkel or Berlin pork knuckle - Germany offers culinary diversity at its finest. There are different cooking traditions depending on the region. The fact is: connoisseurs will definitely get their money's worth.

Quality

Nothing is more important than quality - especially when traveling! At Kurzurlaub.de, guests will only find hotels in the 3-star category and above. The certified star quality of the DEHOGA Federal Association and other associations - especially in the wellness sector - therefore gives guests the assurance of a high standard. In Germany, three stars mean that vacationers can count on well-trained staff, appealing room sizes, good service and good cuisine. But hotels in Germany enjoy a good reputation anyway. As a rule, the standard of the respective hotels is very high.

Travel budget

In Germany, travelers will find beautiful vacation destinations - from the coasts of the North Sea and Baltic Sea, to other bodies of water and mountain landscapes, to exciting metropolises. It is clear that there is something for every taste in Germany. Therefore, it is almost irrelevant whether it is an active vacation, a wellness trip, city sightseeing or a trip to a folk festival. The travel experts at Kurzurlaub.de have something for every budget.

Shopping worlds

Whether young or old, big or small, shopping is often a top priority for fans of city breaks. The Schildergasse in Cologne, for example, is recommended for city breakers. Düsseldorf shines with the Schadowstraße and Königsallee. In Berlin, KaDeWe is still a popular destination for exclusive shopping experiences. But Leipzig, Munich, Hamburg, Dortmund, Mannheim, Bremen, Stuttgart and Frankfurt also attract holidaymakers to their shopping streets. The fact is: when it comes to shopping, Germany is the best - and not just in these cities.

Language

Spending your vacation in your home country has one major advantage: there are hardly any communication problems. This makes it easier to make inquiries, haggle over prices or order the right food in a restaurant. There are still quite a few dialects in Germany. But for linguistic reasons, there are no major irritations or misunderstandings.

Variety of topics

Sports enthusiasts, gourmets, romantics or wellness fans - depending on their area of interest, every short break visitor to Germany will find the right destination. Surfing or diving, cycling and canoeing tours, white water rafting, hiking or skiing - active vacationers in particular appreciate the variety on offer. Gourmets can look forward to numerous Michelin-starred restaurants in this country. And if you are traveling with the whole family, there is no need to worry that anyone will be bored: Attractive zoos, spectacular aquariums, theme parks and top-class sporting events ensure a wide variety of leisure fun.
