Germany is a great destination for a fun, educational and memorable family vacation. Many children have seen the make-believe castle of Disney, but how many have seen a real, centuries-old castle?

Families can rent bikes for a casual ride along a majestic river valley, or camp,hike and explore the lush green countryside. Outdoor adventure beckons on a canoe tour of the countryside or a climbing course in Saxony. Germany’s leisure and theme parks are great for families – Germany is even the home of the world's steepest wooden roller coaster.

If variety is the spice of your family life, Germany's themed routes fit the bill, with a huge range of attractions along the way. You can explore romantic medieval castles or discover rare fossils. Museums are great places to visit, allowing children and their parents to experience an earthquake or to travel back through time to historical Berlin.

There is an abundance of affordable places to stay, from homely holiday apartments and farm accommodation to scenic campsites and youth hostels, plus countless hotels that welcome children and babies with open arms. Traveling by train is especially stress-free; your holiday starts as soon as you leave home.
