Internationally, Germany continues to be a popular travel destination. Between January and the end of July 2021, more than 14,000 foreign visitors to the online portal germany.travel voted for their tourist favourites in Germany.

Last year’s winner Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg received the most entries for the fourth time in a row.

The customers’ vote give us an authentic picture of the most popular and sought-after tourist destinations. For the partners in the German tourism industry, the ranking is a seal of quality that they use in their international marketing.”
