Germany repays travellers who go beyond the obvious. Yes, Bavaria has Neuschwanstein Castle, Oktoberfest, and the Alps, all worth doing. But Berlin is one of Europe's most compelling capitals: a city still processing its 20th century history while running one of the world's best art, nightlife, and food scenes. Hamburg has a canal city centre and a music history that stretches back to the Beatles. The Rhine Valley's medieval castles are extraordinary in autumn.
Germany has excellent train connections, making it easy to combine multiple cities in a single trip. Berlin to Munich takes just over four hours by rail.
May and September are the prime window for Germany, balancing good weather, fewer crowds and competitive fares. The Window Score peaks at 78/100 in September.
November is typically the cheapest month to fly to Germany, with return fares averaging around A$1,509, about 40% below the yearly average.
January scores lowest (26/100), with quiet conditions and less favourable weather. If you can, plan around it.
Across the year, average temperatures range from about 1°C to 20°C. September usually offers the most pleasant conditions.
AUD is roughly in line with the Euro historical average.
