From ancient Roman ruins and medieval castles to Berlin Wall Memorial, historical places in Germany allow curious visitors to delve into the remote and recent past of one of the major political powers in Europe. One of the country's most visited landmarks, World Heritage-listed Cologne Cathedral is not only an architectural masterpiece, but also an important reminder of Christianity's strength in medieval Europe. Rothenburg's Town Walls and the well-preserved historic city center will impress fans of the Middle Ages. Perched on a mountain cliff and looking like an illustration from a book of fairytales, Neuschwanstein Castle works well for families with children and romantic couples.
