Spring and summer mean Berlin is alive and everyone is out in the garden cafes, roof terrace bars and parks. The Baltic Sea beckons those looking for a beach holiday in Germany.

Berlin: Berlin isn't as spectacular as other European capitals but it has been reinvigorated with culture and class since the wall came down. Today, its neighbourhoods each offer something different.

Baltic Sea: The Baltic Sea coast offers miles upon miles of sandy beaches and resort towns that are spilling with charm. The islands off the coast are destinations all on their own. Rügen is just one example, the largest island in Germany that is famous for its beaches and cliffs. Take your Germany car hire to Rostock for the summer sailing regatta, the "Hanse Sail".
