We are not a travel agency and we do not sell trips. What we could not verify ourselves is written without a number.

Where do you want to go?

Destinations by continent, country and city. The number shows how many checked guides you will find there.

Or by type of trip

For readers who know what the trip should look like but not yet where to go.

A country makes the list when we have checked guides for it. We do not show regions without content just to make the map look full.

Country guides

Twelve countries where we have enough checked guides to plan a whole trip. The number counts guides, not promises.

Countries with only a few guides so far are not listed here but in the block above. We are building them up instead of making them look bigger.

Plan your trip in 5 steps

From "when?" to a booked ticket. Every step leads to checked guides or to a tool that does the maths in your browser.

  1. When to go? season · weather · holidays Weather, prices and crowds rarely land in the same month. The tool puts twelve months side by side for your destination. Go to the step
  2. What will it cost? budget · price level · reserve Days, people and travel style turn into a total with line items: lodging, food, transport, activities, reserve. Go to the step
  3. Where to stay? hotels · neighbourhoods · price range Which neighbourhood suits which kind of trip, and why the cheapest address often has the most expensive commute. Go to the step
  4. What to pack? packing list · first aid · eSIM Trip type, season and length turn into a checklist you can tick off. No sign-up, printable. Go to the step
  5. What to book? tickets · transfer · rail One provider per task, with an upside and a downside. The page says how we earn money. Go to the step

The order is a suggestion. If you already know where you are going, start at step 2.

Travel services we use and recommend

One provider per task, with an upside and a downside. For links marked Ad we earn a commission; your price stays the same.

Ad Tickets and tours GetYourGuide Timed-entry tickets for the big museums, tours in several languages and cancellation usually up to 24 hours before. Downside: At some venues you pay a markup compared with the official box office. Go to the provider
No partner No partner Official box office For the Uffizi, the Alhambra and the Sagrada Familia the venue site is often cheaper and sometimes the only one with slots left.
Ad Airport transfer Kiwitaxi Fixed price agreed in advance, a driver waiting with a sign, and it works at night and in regions without ride-hailing apps. Downside: More expensive than the train where a direct one exists. Go to the provider
No partner No partner Public transport In Vienna, Zurich, Amsterdam and Munich the train or bus gets you into town faster than a car, for a fraction of the price.
Ad Rental cars Discover Cars Compares local suppliers with the big chains and shows the excess before you book. Downside: The broker insurance is offered again at the desk, which confuses people. Go to the provider
No partner No partner No car at all On small islands and in cities with a low emission zone a rental car costs more in nerves and parking than it saves in time.
No partner Travel insurance World Nomads We do not broker insurance. In Germany that requires a licence under section 34d of the Trade Regulation Act, and we do not hold one. Downside: So there is no provider here, only what to look at when you compare.
No partner No partner What to look at The excess, which cancellation reasons are accepted, cover for pre-existing conditions, and whether repatriation is really included.

The order does not follow the commission. Where there is no partner, or where a partner is not good enough, we say so and the tile stays empty.

Popular sections

The parts of the site our readers open most often. The number counts the guides in that section.

The most recently checked and updated guides are directly below.

We show no view counters on the cards. What a guide is worth is not decided by clicks but by when we last checked it, and that is written in the guide itself.

Why you can trust us

tourism.com.de is made by a small travel desk. We travel ourselves, but we have not been to every place we write about. That is why every guide states when we last checked prices, opening hours and directions against the official source. We do not sell trips and we are not a travel agency.

The project lives on affiliate commissions: if you book a ticket, a hotel or a transfer through a link marked as an ad, we receive a small share. Your price stays the same. Together with display advertising, that is the site only income, and we label such links right on the block.

  • Checked, not claimed Opening hours, prices and addresses come from the official website and carry a check date. What we could not verify, we phrase without a number.
  • Updated when something changes The date at the top of a guide changes only after a real edit, never in bulk for all pages.
  • Partners do not shape the order A hotel or a tour makes the list because it fits the destination, not because it has an affiliate programme. Every recommendation has a downside, and it is in the text.
  • We name our limits We are not a travel agency and not an insurance adviser. For visas, entry rules and health we link the official source instead of replacing it.

Found a mistake? Write to us. We correct it and note the correction in the guide.
