Oktoberfest may draw the crowds; renowned for its beer, sausages and festivals, it attracts a certain type of Autumnal visitor. But Germany has much to offer throughout the year: head to its mountains in winter for some of the best of European skiing; laze on its Baltic beaches for relaxed summer fun; cruise its iconic rivers for cityscapes and castle tours and wine tastings aplenty; and meander around its historic Christmas markets for a festive feeling that simply can’t be beaten.
