City trips
City breaks are one of my favorite types of travel. On the one hand because there are so many beautiful cities and on the other hand because you can experience so much in a short time. In the past few years, we have particularly taken extended weekend trips to cities in Germany – in Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg alone there are so many cute cities that are really worth investing 2-3 days in: For example these Festival city of Bayreuth. Even if you look a bit beyond the borders of Germany, there are great opportunities for a short or longer city trip: The Austrian capital Vienna did it to me too. Or of course the City of love: Paris is always worth a trip.
