Anja Brokjans, Director of the German National Tourist Office Canada, says: “Germany is a place for history lovers and those who care about the environment. Our commitment t preserving culture aligns perfectly with Canadian travellers seeking exceptional and eco-friendly experiences.”

Throughout the year, Germany hosts lively festivals celebrating its culture, like Oktoberfest and the Christmas markets. With an impressive 51 UNESCO World Heritage sites, Germany offers an array of itineraries to explore its rich cultural and natural heritage. Visitors are urged to experience Germany’s diverse regional cuisine, attend festivals and events, and participate in outdoor activities like hiking and cycling.
