Cheap flights to Germany
Flights to Germany land at Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Cologne, Hannover, Nuremberg, Bremen, Dresden and Leipzig/Halle. Most people come for a short city break, a business trip or a long weekend, and the airports suit different plans. Frankfurt and Munich are the big international gateways, Berlin and Hamburg draw the city-break crowds, and the smaller airports drop you close to one region rather than the middle of everything.

Berlin is the capital, and the pick if you want history, museums and nightlife in one place. Frankfurt and Munich work well for business travel and for onward connections. Dusseldorf, Cologne and Stuttgart sit in the west and south-west, handy for trade fairs and company visits. Hamburg is the northern port city, with Bremen and Hannover covering the rest of the north. Nuremberg, Dresden and Leipzig/Halle open up Bavaria and the east.

When to go
Late spring and early autumn are the sweet spots: mild weather, long daylight and fewer crowds than midsummer. Summer is peak season, so flights and hotels fill up and fares climb, particularly around the school holidays. Winter is quieter apart from the run-up to Christmas, when city breaks to the markets get busy. If your dates are flexible, flying midweek and outside the school breaks usually costs less.
