The majority of Neuschwanstein Castle tours are usually in English, but these days visitors are mostly Germans.
Whether at the museum or in front of a castle, where crowds normally gather, this holiday season there are only a few, spaced-out groups, all wearing face masks.
If you’re lucky enough to be a tourist in Germany right now, you’ll likely have the rare opportunity of snapping a lone selfie with an empty historic landmark behind you. Some restrictions do apply, however.
Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie
Normally, Hamburg’s iconic Elbe Philharmonic building is crowded with visitors. From the viewing platform at a height of 37m, you get a spectacular view over the city’s port.
