Place data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL). OpenStreetMap data as of 21 September 2026. Built 23 September 2026. Our selection for Germany is offered under the same licence: download it as 2 JSON files. Every part is listed on where our data comes from.
Photos and the one-line descriptions come from Wikidata (CC0) and Wikimedia Commons, not from OpenStreetMap. Each photo carries its own licence and its own credit, printed under it. Collected 28 September 2026.
This is a selection, not everything OpenStreetMap holds, and it has no ratings and no reviews. Places are ordered by how completely OpenStreetMap describes them and how close they are to the centre. Opening hours are shown as listed on OpenStreetMap, so check before you go.
