Slovenia FAQ's

Slovenia is a small country, and one you may not know a lot about. It is well-known in Europe and abroad for its varied geography , breathtaking scenery , and gorgeous views . Since there is so many beautiful areas of the country to see, you should explore some by hiking , walking , or enjoying other fun outdoor activities . Slovenia`s history is in plain view, even as it looks ahead to tomorrow; its history can be seen everywhere from the historic towns like Ptuj and Piran to its many marvelous cathedrals and castles . Slovenia had so many castles at one time that the country was referred to as `the country of castles` ! Be sure to enjoy lots of delicious Slovenian food and drink while you`re here, ranging from Carnolian sausage and prosciutto (pršut) to Karst wines and Laško beer .

You should definitely visit the beautiful capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana , and Lake Bled , nestled in the Julian Alps . From there, you can venture west to the Slovenian Riviera , with such famous beach towns as Piran and Portoroz ; or you can venture east to Styria , where Maribor is the largest city, and the Savinja River Valley , home to Laško and Celje .

Most of the country can be enjoyed from late spring through mid-to-late autumn . Many people assume that the summer would be the best time to visit, and it is a good time, but it is also a time that many Slovenians take their vacations, so many tourist attractions end up crowded not just with international tourists but domestic visitors as well. The shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October are great times to visit because crowds are thinner, prices are a tad lower than in the summer, and temperatures are more mild. For more information, visit Best Time to Visit Slovenia .

We recommend approximately 7-10 days based on what you want to see and do. We offer flexible vacation packages so you can select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities. We suggest a minimum of 3 nights in Ljubljana, Lake Bled, and the Slovenian Riviera and 2 nights in other regions of the country.

We recommend seeing Slovenia by car or by train. By Car: Slovenia`s motorways are modern and of top quality. There are no border controls if you are arriving from Italy, Austria, or Hungary, but there are border controls as you leave Slovenia to drive to Croatia. There are six major motorways (avtocestni) that connect all parts of the country most frequented by tourists. E-vignettes are used for toll roads and you must have one to drive on motorways in Slovenia. For more information, visit Driving in Slovenia . By Train: Slovenian Railways administers rail service in Slovenia, which is fast, efficient, clean, and modern. Main train lines reach all corners of the country while smaller lines reach the countryside. The trains run all the way to the Slovenian Riviera where there is a train station in Koper. International services run from Slovenia to Klagenfurt and Vienna in Austria; Budapest in Hungary; Udine, Venice and Trieste in Italy; and Pula, Rijeka, and Varazdin in Croatia.

The currency of Slovenia is the Euro. U.S. dollars are not accepted. Please be sure to have the correct currency on hand or be prepared to exchange your dollars for euros upon arrival. Currency exchange desks can be found at many locations throughout the country. For more information, visit Tipping in Slovenia .

The Slovenians are perhaps some of the most multilingual people in Europe. Many Slovenians can speak and understand English, Russian, Italian, and German in addition to Slovene, although English is by far the most popular foreign language. Melania Trump, First Lady of the United States, is said to speak five languages fluently. This may sound impressive to Americans, but this is typical of many Slovenians. You should be understood just fine if you speak English to someone. It is still courteous to learn some phrases in Slovene, such as yes/no (da, ne) , the numbers from 1-10, please (prosim) , thank you (hvala vam) , greetings like `Good morning/Good day` (Dobro jutro/Dober dan) , and `Do you speak English?` (Govoris anglesko?)

Slovenia Tours & Travel Guide

Slovenia Attractions & Landmarks Guide

It’s hard to imagine a country that’s ‘greener’ than Slovenia - both in terms of its landscapes and rolling hills, but this is also a place where commitment to the environment is second nature. The Slovenians really know how to make the most of their natural resources, and how to keep you coming back to see more of this central European gem.

A small and still relatively unknown country in Central Europe, Slovenia is often eclipsed by its celebrity neighbors: Croatia , Austria , and Italy . Slovenia by itself though is more than enough of a reason to visit, and you may find your Slovenia tour much fuller with things to do and see than you ever imagined!

Slovenia’s main draw, and rightfully so, is its abundance of beautiful nature. Ranging from the peaks of the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park, to the Lakes of Bohinj and Bled that will take your breath away, to the beautiful Adriatic coast , Slovenian nature will leave a lasting memory as some of the most beautiful you’ll see in Europe.

The environment is treated as a treasure by Slovenians and it is exceptionally rewarding to travel in a country that does as much to protect its environment and natural green assets as it does to include healthy living as part of its day to day lifestyle. Slovenians are active, outdoors-y folk, and when you see the country, you’ll understand why!

Slovenia is a paradise for those who enjoy adventure sports, of the ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ variety. From canyoning, to kayaking, to mountain biking, to cycling around Ljubljana, to zip-lining (and that’s just to name a few), Slovenia has activities for everyone. Families with children, couples of all ages and independent travelers will find plenty to keep them busy and provide fun filled memories to take home.

Why Visit Slovenia on a tour?

There are many reasons to visit this gem at the heart of Europe . Although it has much to offer travelers, it is not generally a top visited tourist destination, which keeps prices cheaper and tours less crowded than nearby Switzerland , Austria, and Italy .

It is also small in size, so it is easy and quick to travel around to maximize your time. With its breathtaking natural beauty, Slovenia is best visited on a tour. Tour guides and tour companies are experts in travel within all of Slovenia’s regions, giving you an opportunity to visit not only the most popular destinations but also the less common, unique destinations.

What is there to do in Slovenia?

There are over 150 tours listed on Stride that visit Slovenia. With magnificent nature and lush, rolling green hills, you will find an abundance of outdoor related tours. There are several options for hiking and walking tours, such as the majestic Lake Bled . There is also the opportunity to dive into Slovenian culture, food, and architecture in the beautiful capital city of Ljubljana .

With its southwest end located on the Adriatic Sea, travelers can also experience boating and water related adventures. You can explore the underground wonders in the Postojna Cave, known for its intricate stalactites and stalagmites. If you’re looking for a more thrilling outdoor adventure, whitewater raft along the rapids of the Soča river. When visiting Slovenia, the tour options are endless! 

How to plan your trip to Slovenia

The most popular stops in Slovenia include Lake Bled (the country’s number one tourist attraction, and the number of visitors does reflect this, especially in summer!) and Ljubljana, the country’s small capital. Beyond these places is where the fun begins---don’t miss out on the mesmerizingly emerald Soca River Valley, Lake Bohinj, The Triglav National Park, and the eastern region of Brda which offers some delicious Slovenian wine!

For those looking for a dip in salty water, the coastal town of Piran on the Adriatic offers clear waters, a Venetian-styled clock tower, city walls, and innumerably cafes by the harbor front to sit and soak up some late summer sun whilst pondering your next move. 

A few days is enough to cover a couple of Slovenia’s highlights only, a week allows more time for going into the countryside, exploring peaks and valleys, and trying a couple of activities. If time is in short supply, do check out the combined trips with the Balkans, Italy, or even Austria, which give an introduction to the region.

Best time to visit slovenia.

Slovenia is a beautiful destination no matter what time of the year it is, and every season has its attractions. While the coast heats up over summer, the Julian Alps continue to experience more moderate temperatures. In winter, snow falls over the mountains and can get very cold, but the lowlands and coastal areas of the south enjoy much milder weather. Spring sees bursts of wildflowers through the alpine meadows and autumn brings gorgeous reds and oranges.

Geography and environment

Squeezed between   Austria ,   Italy ,   Hungary   and   Croatia , Slovenia is covered in snow-dusted peaks, mountain meadows and alpine lakes. The Julian Alps dominate the landscape in the north. Further south the limestone Karst hides intricate networks of caves. Slovenia’s Adriatic coastline leads into Croatia.

Top 5 active adventures in Slovenia

Get the legs pumping with a ride around Lake Bled, past 19th-century villas, grand hotels and the cliff-clinging castle. For some more two-wheeled adventures, head out to Vintgar Gorge.

The Julian Alps beckon to be explored. Hike one of the numerous trails, or take a cable car to Mt Vogel for a bird’s-eye view of the lake below.

Slovenia Tour Reviews

Slovenia - tour highlights and travel tips.

Aerial view of city of Ljubljana center, Slovenia

Rich in water, and in forested land, Slovenia offers a picturesque landscape that looks like it could have come right out of a story book, complete with castles, cottages, and cloud crowned mountain peaks. Slovenia is a young country, which at one time has been a part of the Roman and Holy Roman Empires.

Tour Highlights

  • Explore one of the many different castles in this beautiful country, some of which have been converted to hotels that you can actually spend the night in.
  • Visit one of the many museums, of which there are over 200, starting with the National Museum of Slovenia, or perhaps the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana.
  • Visit the Savica Falls at Lake Bohinj, or take in the spectacle of one of the other 300 waterfalls that adorn this beautiful country.
  • Go hiking on The Sub-Alpine Trail for a first-and view of the beauty of this mountainous wooded realm. If you plan to hike the whole thing you will need to save up your vacation time, it is 470 km long!
  • Take a moment for meditative prayer at a 900-year-old monastery at Sticna.
  • Strap on your skis for some Alpine skiing, the slopes here are some of the best values you can find.
  • No trip is complete without a visit to Bled lake and the beautiful Castle of the same name.

Travel Tips

  • If you plan to do any driving don’t touch that phone. It is illegal to use your cell phone while driving; additionally, no right turn on red lights!
  • Dress warmly, the climate is cool.
  • Keep your receipts, they can be requested by inspectors when you’re leaving a store, and if you don’t have it you can be fined.
  • Pirated goods may seem like a good deal, but if you have to leave them at customs when you leave the country you will be sadly disappointed. Be sure to avoid counterfeited goods.
  • Don’t leave valuables in plain sight when you leave your car. Automobile break-ins are fairly common.

The Europe of Days Gone By

Situated in Central Europe, the country of Slovenia may be small but it is the perfect place to get a big taste of Europe in a short amount of time. With a short stretch of coastline along the Adriatic Sea, you can experience Slovenia travel from a sandy beach to the snowy mountaintops of the Alps in a single day. But why rush? Slovenia is rich with beautiful diverse landscapes that include lakes, rivers, caves farms, and mountains. The region is also known for its health spas that offer weary travellers many ways to relax and unwind from their daily lives or exhilarating tours. Hugged by the countries of Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia, Slovenia is also the prime spot to use as a starting point of a multi-country tour. Slovenian cuisine is also influenced by these neighboring countries as well as inspired by what its local farmers specialize in producing.  All in all, a Slovenia holiday is well worth the trip and then some..

Destination Must-See's

Slovenia ms1

You will find an idyllic setting in this popular resort town. Home to Slovenia’s only island, this alpine village sits on the edge of a big blue lake. This tiny island seemingly floats in the centre with a white church steeple standing tall, and its historic castle majestically perched high on the hill, offering stunning views of the landscape below.

Slovenia ms2

This picturesque capital city was awarded the name of Green Capital of Europe in 2016. One reason for its beauty is its location, the tree-lined banks of the Ljubljanica River runs through the heart of the city. Its largely pedestrian city centre is the perfect place to explore or simply sit at a charming sidewalk café and enjoy a slice of local life.

Slovenia ms3

Town Hall of Ljubljana:

Constructed in the late 15th century, it is used today as the seat of the Municipality of Ljubljana. Its present façade was updated in the early 18th century and is reminiscent of Venetian architecture. The inside is grand, and you will find many relics including a late Gothic plaque with a coat of arms that dates back to the original Town Hall.

Slovenia ms4

Beautiful landscape:

Driving through Slovenia you will see an extraordinary variety of landscapes. In this small corner of Europe, you will often wonder if you have driven across several countries. At the crossroads of the Alpine, Mediterranean, Pannonian and Dinaric regions, you can see a bit of them all as you go. Towering mountains, rolling hills, vast plains, peaceful lakes, and the rugged sea…this is Slovenia.

Destination Must-Do's

Slovenia md1

Pletna boat:

Cruise along tranquil Lake Bled as people have done for centuries. Board a traditional Pletna boat made by locals that is unique to this lake. These boats with origins in the late 16th century seat about 20 people. They are wooded flat-bottom boats with colourful awnings that are powered by an oarsman rowing with two oars standing in the back of the boat. It is a truly local experience.

Slovenia md2

Lake Bled’s Wishing Bell:

You’ll find a small but impressive 17th century church with a 15th century bell tower that houses the famous "wishing bell." Legend says that a bell, created for the church in memorial of a lost love, sunk in depths of the lake along with its transport crew. After this tragedy the Pope consecrated a new bell for the tower. It is said that whoever rings it gives honour to Virgin Mary, and their wishes will come true.

Slovenia md3

Ljubljana Castle:

Explore this sprawling medieval fortress that overlooks the Slovenian capital city. Built by the Habsburgs in the 15th century with only a façade, towers and wooden barracks, it has evolved over centuries to a grand, romantic castle with an idyllic landscape. It is the perfect place to take a step back in time and watch the sun set, taking in the beautiful views of the town below.

Slovenia md4

Funicular ride to Castle:

Take a ride from old town up to Ljubljana Castle, an experience in itself. This modern convenience is more than a century in the making. Launched in 2006, this glass enclosed rail system transports visitors up and down a steep ledge of rock just outside the old city that was once a medieval defensive wall. The views are amazing and the ease has transformed tourism in the city.

Expert Advice

diana

You will fall in love with the cuisine. It is a delicious mix of Italian and Eastern European – you may be picturing goulash and pizza. However, they take the best of both, and the combination is very tasty.

Slovenia e2

Tourism isn’t as prevalent here as it is in other European destinations. As a result, Slovenians are cheerful, friendly people who are always happy to see tourists. Because many travellers are not privy to its charms, it is the perfect country to visit to get a taste of the way much of Europe used to be.

Slovenia e3

Slovenia is the third most forested country in Europe. A whopping 60% of its land is forested and more than a third of its land is protected. The country plants over 1,200,000 trees each year to keep the forests and biodiversity thriving.

From extended weekends to longer stays, our  carefully devised itineraries  are certain to provide a memorable vacation regardless of the time frame.

In order to give you the most carefree holiday possible, our Slovenia vacation packages include all the arrangements regarding  transportation and accommodation . We also plan all your activities and pair you with a  great guide , unless you prefer a self-guided holiday.

About Slovenia Package Holidays

All types of package holidays in slovenia.

You can explore Slovenia’s beautiful outdoors on foot or on your bike during our  walking  and  cycling holidays . Nothing compares with this kind of first-hand exploration of natural attractions such as the emerald Soča River or the pristine Lake Bohinj.

Walking and cycling holidays can be done with a guide or you can opt for a  self-guided holiday , where we prepare the itinerary and directions, book your accommodation, and offer any help you might need during your holiday.

If you wish to take your  active break  a bit further we suggest you opt for some adrenaline rush-inducing activities on an  adventure holiday .

Fly & drive holidays  give you customized itineraries that combine  must-see highlights  and your personal preferences as well as on-the-go support if needed. The rest is up to you. You can spend 2 weeks or even longer on the road in a  rental car or campervan , across the country’s most awe-inspiring regions, stopping off at numerous well-known and hidden destinations.

The culturally inclined will find their ideal vacation on one of our  cultural holidays . With  city breaks  in Ljubljana and smaller but rich Slovenian cities, you will  learn about history and culture  with architectural and historical city tours.

Slovenia is a perfect destination for anyone who is fascinated by the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, medieval cities, and a  mix of cultural influences  that only Slovenia, a crossroads between four main European landscapes and many historic trade routes, can offer.

You’ve probably heard that love goes through the stomach? We believe that holds true for countries even more than for people, and we guarantee you’ll fall in love with Slovenia on our  food and wine holidays . Experience Slovenian culture through wine tastings,  gourmet dinners , and trips to the beautiful and fruitful Slovenian  wine regions  such as Goriška Brda.

Now, even with all of Slovenia’s attractions, no one can deny the beauty of its southern neighbours. If you wish to visit Slovenia but also go beyond its cultural frame,  Balkan holiday packages  will give you the best of both worlds.

Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia are all amazing destinations due to their rich cultural and natural heritage. Discover how the  different regions of the Balkans  influence each other and spot the similarities between them.

England and Scotland qualified emphatically. Sadly, Wales went out on penalties to Poland, who along with Georgia and Ukraine were last to qualify.

Euro 2024 kicks off in Munich on Friday 14 June and ends with the final in Berlin on Sunday 14 July.

Many fans will want to travel to Germany. Whether you are planning a midsummer’s dream trip to support your team or just want to soak up the atmosphere, these are the key questions and answers.

The venues?

  • Berlin Olympiastadion (capacity 70,000)
  • Munich Football Arena (67,000)
  • Dortmund BVB Stadion (66,000)
  • Stuttgart Arena (54,000)
  • Gelsenkirchen Arena AufSchalke (50.000)
  • Hamburg Volksparkstadion (50,000)
  • Cologne Stadium (47,000)
  • Dusseldorf Arena (47,000)
  • Frankfurt Arena (46,000)
  • Leipzig Stadium (42,000)

Where and when are Scotland’s group-stage games?

14 June v Germany in Munich (the tournament’s opening match)

19 June v Switzerland in Cologne

23 June v Hungary in Stuttgart

Where and when are England’s group-stage games?

16 June v Serbia in Gelsenkirchen

20 June v Denmark in Frankfurt

25 June v Slovenia in Cologne

What are the basic travel mechanics?

Fortunately for supporters of England and Scotland, all the games – except for the opening match between Germany and Scotland in Munich – are in western Germany.

For Cologne, where England will play Slovenia and Scotland will play Switzerland, surface travel looks best: ideally a Eurostar train from London to Brussels and a connection from there.

But it will be much cheaper for groups of supporters to go by road. Many people will take cars across, and the Dover-Dunkirk or Harwich-Hook of Holland ferries are probably best – though Newcastle to Amsterdam and Hull to Rotterdam are also feasible, if expensive.

There’s a wide choice of flights on budget airlines from across England and Scotland to Germany , but they won’t be low-cost during the tournament for key games. It could be smart to fly to somewhere close to Germany instead.

For example, to reach Gelsenkirchen, the venue for England’s first game against Serbia, Eindhoven in the Netherlands is an option. Remarkably, for those flying out on 15 June and returning on 17 June, Ryanair has flights between London Stansted and Eindhoven for £15 each way.

For Scotland’s game against Hungary on 23 June in Stuttgart, you could fly on easyJet from Edinburgh to Basel in Switzerland and get a cheap train from there; out on 21 June, back on 24 June is currently £184 return.

Will travelling around the host nation be easy?

Yes, because German Railways has a vast, high-density network, with low fares if you don’t take the fastest expresses.

There is no real need to book anything in advance – you can buy tickets on the day. The network will feel the strain on match days, but trains will be supplemented by long-distance coaches.

If you’re driving your own car, the autobahns will be busy – and you will also find parking in cities and near venues difficult.

All ticket holders will get 36 hours of free local transport around each match.

Which brings us to the thorny question of tickets...

All group-match tickets have been sold, and the Uefa resale platform has now closed. The organisers say “There will be no further opportunities to resell tickets.”

Uefa adds: “Tickets reserved for knockout-stage matches will be sold during the tournament upon the qualification of the teams for the respective matches.”

Or you can settle for the fan zones – which will be in attractive locations such as Cologne’s old town, the Altstadt.

What about accommodation?

Unlike Paris, where hotel rates are steadily falling ahead of the Olympic Games , demand for rooms in and near host venues is rising – along with prices. For many fans, Germany is extremely accessible.

In Cologne, on the night of Scotland’s group game against Switzerland (19 June), many properties are sold out, and basic budget hotel rooms are selling for £400.

But you can save approximately half the cost by booking in Dusseldorf, about 20 minutes by train from Cologne. Go further, to Aachen (less than an hour away), and rates halve again.

While many Berlin hotels are sold out on the night of the final, a very good hotel room in Leipzig (the Amano Home ) is only €79 (£69) on the night of the final, with trains taking 75 minutes to reach the German capital.

Is it worth waiting until the knockout stages?

Quite possibly. A valid strategy is to do nothing now and see if England and Scotland progress beyond the group stage. From then onwards, everything becomes easier – pressure on transport and accommodation eases because lots of fans sadly go home.

Over the four-day spell of the quarter-finals, from 29 June to 2 July, could be the prime time to be in Germany.

And, if you are feeling optimistic, you could even book a cheap flight to Berlin for the final on 14 July. Ryanair is currently selling flights on 11 July, returning on 16 July, for just £137 from Edinburgh to the German capital.

What shall I do between the matches?

This guide focuses on the England and Scotland host cities, in order of their matches. But the best of the rest will follow.

Munich (Scotland v Germany, 14 June)

The Bavarian capital is the favourite German city of many travellers. The Altstadt, the old town, has the beautiful Marienplatz – dominated by the neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (new town hall), which stretches across its northern side. Shortly before 11am and noon each day, crowds gather for a glockenspiel performance that features a Bavarian knight beating a French challenger in a jousting tournament. For the best view of Munich (and, on a clear day, the Bavarian Alps), visit the tower of St Peter’s Church, just south.

Eat and drink

Warm summer evenings will mainly be spent on cafe terraces and in beer gardens, but the state-owned Hofbrauhaus is well worth visiting for the dizzying choreography of the well-attired waiting staff and the conviviality of the location – augmented from time to time with all the oompah you would expect from a Bavarian band.

Gelsenkirchen (England v Serbia, 16 June)

The Ruhr is off many tourists’ itineraries, but the former coal and steel hub for Germany’s economic and military might is fascinating. Gelsenkirchen itself is actually little more than a northern suburb of Essen (don’t show this to any locals). The industrial archaeology is remarkable, with much of the former Zollverein coal mine handed back to nature – and visitors. You can clamber, carefully, around this Unesco-listed gem. And the German Football Museum is just minutes away in Dortmund (see below).

Essen in central Essen: it is difficult to go wrong, but I like the Pfefferkorn Essen. South of the city centre, Il Pomodoro is a reliable Italian.

Cologne (Scotland v Switzerland, 19 June; England v Slovenia, 25 June)

Cologne is a city designed for walking. Start by climbing the bell tower of the dom (cathedral); the 509 steps are challenging, though you can pause halfway up to admire the glocken (bells). From the public gallery at a height of 97m, you get a fine view of the old town – and some ungainly modern buildings that were erected after the Second World War, in which 90 per cent of the city was destroyed. The Museum Ludwig, adjacent to the dom , celebrates modern art by the likes of Dali and Warhol. For 19th-century works and earlier, the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum is a dramatic modern structure.

Eating, drinking and shopping are the main interests of the locals in what is arguably Germany’s friendliest big city. The local Kolsch beer – light and well hopped – will cheer even losing fans. The tastiest brand is Gaffel, whose home ground is the Gaffel Haus on Alter Markt. But the atmosphere is even more convivial at the Brauhaus Sion, which also serves up sauerbraten : beef marinated for what seems like months, which melts in your mouth in minutes.

Frankfurt (England v Denmark, 20 June)

Europe’s financial hub is far more rewarding than you might imagine. It has a traditionally restored old town, complete with the chance to ascend the tower of St Bartholomew’s (location for medieval coronations of holy Roman emperors), though with some questionable 1960s embellishments. Among the wealth of attractions in this wealthy city: Goethe’s House, where the national poet was born in 1749.

Goethe could have been talking to football fans when he wrote: “If you’ve never eaten while crying you don’t know what life tastes like.” Cross one of the bridges to go south of the Main and sample ebbelwei – apple wine, a cousin of cider – in Ebbelwoi Unser, where you can also dine on sausage, dumplings and sauerkraut.

Stuttgart (Scotland v Hungary, 23 June)

The capital of Baden-Wurttemberg, a big, prosperous southwestern state, feels different from many other German cities: with hilly surroundings and a sense of space, it is a location for getting out and about. Top attraction: the Mercedes-Benz Museum. But if you want to be alone after the match, try Schloss Solitude, just west of the city.

Could this be Germany’s most amazing bar? Jigger & Spoon is a modern take on the speakeasy bar, two floors below the city streets in the vault of a bank, which you reach by going into the office block at Gymnasiumstrasse 33 and taking the lift down two floors. Somehow it includes a cigar lounge. For dinner, the Stuttgart Rathskeller in the basement of the city hall is unbeatable.

Best of the rest – Simon Calder’s top recommendation for each of the other host cities

The wall may have come down in 1989, but 35 years on, the scars of the division of the German capital are still evident. The Palace of Tears at Friedrichstrasse railway station, where people checked out of East Germany to the West, is now a museum, and provides a profoundly emotional experience.

Controversy drags on about England’s third goal in the 1966 World Cup Final: the German Football Museum even has a special investigation into the linesman’s questionable decision against West Germany, using an interactive media station. Unsurprisingly, there is rather more focus on the occasions when German players won the Weltmeisterschaft (in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014).

The Church of St Nicholas was built in 1874 by the great British architect Gilbert Scott. It was devastated during the Second World War by Allied bombers, but the spire survived and remains one of Europe’s tallest church structures. The crypt contains a small museum commemorating the wartime destruction of Hamburg and the victims of the Third Reich. Nearby, visit Altona Fischmark, the ornate fish market where The Beatles used to breakfast after their all-night shows on the Reeperbahn.

One of Germany’s most rewarding cities owes much of its beauty to the Rhine; a riverside highway is now confined to a tunnel. Take the Weisse Flotte €20 Panorama-Fahrt (no sniggering, please) to appreciate the setting and learn more about the monuments.

In this fine East German city, do mention the Cold War. The Zeitgeschictliches Forum focuses on four decades of state communism. You are taken through the whole sorry story, from the Nazi era via the postwar carve-up of Germany decided in Potsdam, and spy cameras disguised as cigarette packets, to the night in 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down.
