Best places to visit in Germany

  • Dresden: East Germany has many interesting places including the beautiful city of Dresden rising from the banks of the River Elbe. Restored to its former 18th-century architectural glory, Dresden is a brilliant mix of beauty and buzz, with lots of cool bars, restaurants and shops amongst the breath-taking buildings.
  • [Berlin](https://www.sixt.com.au/car-hire/germany/berlin/): drive over to the new capital of Germany and enjoy the spacious, tree-lined streets, leafy parks, fabulous shops, and at the same time drink in the edgy, arty vibe of the cool, newly gentrified Scheunenviertel quarter. Don’t miss the Parliament building, the Brandenburg Gate, the gardens of the Charlottenburg Palace, the remains of the Berlin Wall – so many memories to be made in Berlin.
  • Quedlinburg: everyone visits Bavaria anyway so let’s remind SIXT drivers about Northern Germany and the Baltic coast. How about a road trip to Quedlinburg – a small, wonderfully preserved Medieval city. The peaceful cobbled streets and half-timbered houses set at the foot of the Harz Mountains are a UNESCO World Heritage site and yet the town has a lovely ‘off-the-beaten-track’ feel.

If you’ve booked a car at this place but you’re lost and don’t speak German, I’m here to help. First off, Google doesn’t take you to the right place. It takes you to the old location next to the Europcar. There’s a video screen still on for some reason which makes you think people work there, but they don’t. You want to go inside the train station further to find the new office near the Burger King. You’d think there’d be a sign or something at the old location telling you this, but that would make too much sense. At least the employee I worked with once I figured it out was great and I had a car in no time. When it comes time to return your car, you need to go to Parkhaus am Hauptbahnhof which is on the opposite side of the station you exit and on. I didn’t ask specifically where to go beforehand and it’s not something that’s easy just to figure out. Park back on the 4th floor, drop your keys off at the office, and you’re done. Aside two very confusing steps, the rest of renting a car at this location was great.

*Our Customer Excitement Score is based on a survey sent to all customers who booked in Germany. The score is an average of all customer responses.
