Best places to visit in Germany

  • Tegernsee: The stunning lakeside town of Tegernsee is set against the backdrop of picturesque mountains in the southern state of Bavaria. With traditional buildings and narrow roads, strolling through the town is an experience. If travelers have brought along hiking shoes, there are wonderful mountain trails to explore. Visiting in December? The Christmas markets are magical for kids.  
  • Berlin: The capital city of Berlin plays to all the senses. Travelers who love music will be excited to find a wealth of options; if jazz is your favorite, try Quazimodos, a cultural institution. For a cultural experience, visit the iconic Brandenburg Gate or the Berlin Wall Memorial. And don’t miss the bold street art scattered throughout the city.  
  • Cologne: Situated on the Rhine River, the city of Cologne is one of the largest in Germany. Travelers coming here are welcomed with stunning vistas created by the Cologne Cathedral, the Hohenzollern Bridge and the rich architecture that speaks to a centuries-old history. When you’re done taking in the beauty, visit one of the many museums like the riverside Cologne Chocolate Museum.  

Driving Tips for Germany

When you need to drive in Germany, there are a few things you should know. Speed limits within cities are generally 50 km/h and 100 km/h on some roads outside cities. There is no speed limit on the Autobahn, but it’s recommended to drive no more than 130 km/h. You’ll drive on the right and be sure to follow the lead of other drivers and put on your hazard lights and move to the side of the road if in a traffic jam on roads outside cities. Right of way at intersections is the driver on your right, which you must yield for. 

Summer in Germany

The summer is a beautiful time to take road trips in Germany. If you’re starting in Munich, hop in your SIXT car rental and head southwest to Neuschwanstein Castle, a favorite spot among young travelers because it was the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland. If you’re staying in Frankfurt, head south to the legendary Black Forest, home to idyllic hamlets and hiking trails. Whichever city you’re in, be sure to invest in a day trip to see the magical German countryside.

The vehicle had a lot of new technology that was not explained at pickup.it was truly welcomed once we left the airport. The automatic shutdown of the engine at every stop took a little getting used to.

Barbara G.

We were so impressed by our car rental at Sixt. The price was great, the car was amazing, and the customer service was outstanding. I will DEFINITELY recommend Sixt to my friends and colleagues.

Jonathan M.

The service at the Zoo Berlin branch is always excellent.

Sam H.

At the Pasing branch sales representative his name is Azar was super friendly and knowledgeable. My credit card didn’t go through at the beginning of procedure, I don’t speak German and he spoke with my credit card customer service center and took one and half hour to solve the problem. Ended up with Mazda CX 30 almost brand new car free upgrade.

Azar is BESTEST Sixt staff I’ve ever met and the car options were outstanding! Such as “head up display”, “cruise control”, “Apple Car Play”, “automatic head light dimmer”, the experience A-Z was fantastic,

I’ll definitely use again.

 

Thank you so much Mr. Azar!!!

He deserves to get tons of rewards and respect ✊🙏👍👏
