Karlsruhe is fondly referred to as the Fan-Shaped City. Even though it's at the northern edge of the Black Forest, Karlsruhe has some of the warmest weather in the country, so many visitors pick this city to experience a Mediterranean-inspired vacation in Germany. There are hundreds of fine museums, quirky galleries, and beautiful theatres in the area that are all worth checking out.
Karlsruhe is a hub for science and technology, but it has an artistic side, too. The ZKM is a unique art museum that displays contemporary video and audio installations in a former weapons factory. Hit up the Jakobus Theatre, Kammertheater Karlsruhe, or The Sandkorn Theatre for live music or theatrical performance.
Another can't-miss landmark is the Karlsruhe Palace, built in the 18th-century. Not only does the palace include stunning grounds and magnificent architecture, it also houses the Baden State Museum with exhibits about the region's history. Some of the best outdoor recreation sites are Badesee Epple, Rheinstrandbad Rappenwort, and Weingarten, offering blue waters for fishing, swimming, and sailing, respectively.
Karlsruhe is easy to reach from cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt on Deutsche Bahn trains. FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, Sindbad, Union Ivkoni, and Cazmatrans provide coach service to the city as well. The Karlsruhe/Baden Airport is not too far away, so you can travel to this warm destination from nearly anywhere.

One of the largest cities in the state of Lower Saxony, Osnabrück is an industrial city home to numerous automobile, paper, and steel companies. The city's pride is the Altstadt quarter, which has been meticulously reconstructed after suffering catastrophic damage during WWII. As a result, the quarter features many medieval buildings that retain their original splendour. The most notable is the Historic City Hall, featuring impressive Gothic architecture situated in a charming square. Also check out the historic St. Peter's Cathedral, a late-Romanesque cathedral founded in the 11th century.
For a focus on more natural splendor, the Botanischer Garten der Universität Osnabrück is a great place to start. Explore the garden's landscaped paths and glasshouse for palms until dinnertime. Then seek out some local specialties at Göttinger feldkieker, Ammerländer Schinken, or Lüneburger Heidschnucke.
Osnabrück offers tons of travel options, so it's easy to include a quick stop in the city during a tour of Germany. Nearby cities, including Bremen and Hanover are accessible on intercity coaches.
