Germany is a vast territory structured around its 4 largest cities with more than a million inhabitants: <a href="kavval://cities/bc651eba-a6ba-4d2f-83b7-afc1474678b9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Berlin</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/dc7ecceb-f927-440f-9e4f-dd3544ae182b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hamburg</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/708e3a7c-aa26-4afd-8780-7f16a47be6ed" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Munich</a> and <a href="kavval://cities/3f1a0d79-f7d0-49a4-9a46-daba704aa473" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cologne</a>. Crossed by rivers like the Danube, Rhine, and Elbe, the country can be divided into three distinct geographical areas: plains in the north, mid-range <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> in the center, and <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> in the south.

Germany also boasts a vast number of <a href="kavval://tags/monuments" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">exceptional monuments</a> such as Neuschwanstein Castle 🏰, one of the most beautiful in the world!

Urban culture fans can truly immerse themselves! Sports play a significant role in German society, for both young and old. Germany's Olympic sports record speaks for itself.
