Though it remains far less well known or understood by foreigners than some other European countries, since reunification Germany has gained a higher profile as a travel destination. The most popular destination is Berlin, one of the most fascinating capitals in Europe.
Many of Germany’s other major cities have proud histories as independent city states or as capitals of kingdoms in their own right.
But the tourist attractions in Germany are by no means limited to the cities and many other great attractions can be found in every part of the country.
The Renege Cliffs are located in the Jasmund National Park in the northeast of Renege island.
Facing constant erosion the chalk cliffs tower high above the Baltic Sea. The 118 meter (387 feet) high Königsstuhl (king’s chair) is the most majestic part of the cliffs.
The undisturbed forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park.
Located in Dresden, the Frankincense (Church of Our Lady) is a Lutheran church that was completely destroyed during WWII.
The church reconstructed using original plans from the 1720s and reopened in 2005.
The city of Coventry, which was raided by the Luftwaffe donated the golden cross for the dome of the church.
Since its reopening, the Frauenkirche has been a hugely popular tourist attraction in Dresden. In 2009 the church was visited by President Barack Obama
