Between December 2021 and June 2022, around 15,000 international visitors from 30 countries chose their favourite tourist destinations in Germany. The current TOP 100 ranking is now online at germany.travel/top100.

Last year's winner, Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg, received the most votes. Europa-Park Rust was also able to defend its second place. Rothenburg ob der Tauber took third place for the first time. Neuschwanstein Castle, Phantasialand Brühl, our capital Berlin, the Black Forest National Park, the Rothenburg ob der Tauber Criminal Museum, Dresden, and the Moselle Valley followed.

Since 2012, visitors of germany.travel have been able to use a free text field to name the tourist destinations they consider particularly recommendable. From this, the GNTB develops the ranking of the TOP 100.

In addition to the overall ranking, the survey results are structured into clusters: UNESCO World Heritage Sites, cities, urban highlights, natural highlights, leisure & animal parks, museums, national parks, regions, castles & palaces.
