My favorite city to visit in Germany is Cologne. It’s very picturesque. The Dom Cathedral (see photo) is spectacular. It’s easy to walk around the city center and see/do many things.

Berlin is interesting for historical and cultural reasons; however, it doesn’t have many landmark buildings/locations like you’re interested in seeing. I like Berlin for its food, drink, and shopping.

Munich is probably the best tourist city in Germany. The Hofbrau (http://www.hofbraeuhaus.de) is a must-visit if you enjoy beer. You’ll never forget drinking out of their pitcher-sized steins. If you time your visit right, you can hear an oompah band perform while you drink and eat. The Munich Glockenspiel would be a good I-Saw-It item for you.

The Black Forest is very beautiful too. You could go hiking or boating there.
