Exploring German States

Compare Hotel Room Rates from different Booking Sites

Exploring German States is a state-by-state budget travel guide for people who are visiting specific states in Germany. This guide provides an alternative approach to learning about Germany, which you can also learn from Germany Budget Travel Guide and Discovering German Cities.

There are sixteen states, or Länder, as they are known in German, within the Federal Republic of Germany. They include the original states of West Germany, namely Baden-Wüttemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Saarland; the five states reestablished from the former East Germany, namely Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia; and the city states or Stadtstaaten, which are Berlin, Bremen and Hamburg. I describe them separately within the Discovering German Cities page. Listed in thumbnail below are the Flächenländer, or provincial states.

This page provides you an easy way to learn about the German states, especially if you are going to visit only a selected number of them. Each thumbnail leads to information about the state, its main cities and tourist attractions.
