1) Baden Württemberg
Home of the Hohenzollern royal family, cuckoo clocks, zeppelins, DaimlerChrysler and Porsche, the federal state of Baden Württemberg, with its regional capital of Stuttgart, lies in the south-west of Germany. This is where modern industry meets outstanding historical, cultural and scenic diversity. Its incredible scenery, culture and traditions, vibrant towns and cities, attractive places of interest, wide range of sports and leisure activities, friendly, welcoming people and excellent food and drink make a popular place to visit.

2) Bavaria
Bavaria boasts blue skies and crystal clear lakes, small medieval towns and vibrant cities, mystical forests and snow-capped mountain peaks. The Free State of Bavaria in located in southern Germany with Munich, its regional capital. Unspoiled natural surroundings, healthy air, a wealth of culture and the proverbially laid-back Bavarian attitude to life are its hallmarks. Bavaria's medieval castles and small towns, magnificent palaces and baroque churches, not to mention its urban centers, provide the perfect setting for everything from traditional festivals to high opera.

3) Berlin
The new Berlin remains a city in transition. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, the country's largest city has become even more cosmopolitan. Most are familiar with the Brandenburg Gate topped by its triumphal chariot, the Victory Column and Charlottenburg Palace, but this lively metropolis is difficult to define – Berlin is many cities in one. Covering an area the size of Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt am Main put together, Berlin is an exciting collection of very different districts, centers and suburbs, each with its own character.

4) Brandenburg
The region around Berlin offers Potsdam – its state capital – along with the idyllic Brandenburg countryside. The federal state of Brandenburg is located in eastern Germany surrounding the vibrant city of Berlin. Countless crystal-clear lakes and waterways, broad expanses of countryside, verdant tree-lined roads, fruit orchards and unspoiled natural scenery are the hallmarks of the region. Its sleepy villages and cultural attractions are of great historical significance. In the last 300 years, the former garrison town of Potsdam has become one of Europe's most superb royal cities.
