The Sunny Side of Germany

Welcome to sunny SouthWest Germany, a very special vacation destination. Start with historic cities. Heidelberg is one of Europe's most romantic, with its castle, river and university. Stuttgart, the region's capital, boasts art museums, opera and two of the world's best car museums. After all, this is where the automobile was patented almost 135 years ago!

For elegance and relaxation, nowhere surpasses Baden-Baden, with its natural mineral spas and stylish casino.

And SouthWest Germany is the country's best region for gourmets and wine lovers, with Michelin-starred restaurants as well as informal taverns – all serving award-winning local wines.

The unspoiled countryside is perfect for hiking and biking, from the Black Forest to Lake Constance; while Europa-Park, one of the world's top theme parks, offers family fun. All these and much, much more are right here on our website.
