Europa-Park in Rust

Hamburg’s Miniatur Wunderland and Rust’s Europa-Park ranked as the two most popular destinations for a second consecutive year in Germany’s top 100 tourist spots for 2022, according to the German National Tourist Board (GNTB).

Miniatur Wunderland received the most votes across all categories, with Europa-Park taking second place, and a new entrant for third place going to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Neuschwanstein Castle, Phantasialand Brühl, the capital Berlin, the Black Forest National Park, the Rothenburg ob der Tauber Criminal Museum, Dresden, and the Moselle Valley rounding out the Top 10.

The rankings are the result of more than 15,000 travellers from 30 countries voting between December 2021 and June 2022.

Petra Hedorfer, chairwoman of the GNTB, said: “The Top 100 ranking shows tourists’ favourite destinations and sights across Germany, providing a snapshot of international awareness and popularity online. This provides us great insights into trends and what we should focus on going forward – as well as highlighting some destinations that perhaps are lesser known.”

Launched in 2012, visitors have been voting annually via the www.germany.travel website 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 rankings, the survey results are structured into clusters: Unesco World Heritage Sites, cities, urban highlights, natural highlights, leisure and animal parks, museums, national parks, regions, castles, and palaces.
