Heidelberg Yet another gorgeous location in Germany, this town is lively and teeming with life. Not only is it an amazing place to sight see, it also has plenty of history and the shopping is fabulous. To the streets~! The main streets are always bustling and street performers are regulars in this town. On this particular day we found some people playing Alphorn's.

↠Germany↞ Goslar Gose River Hallo~! Germany is a stunning place, with some of the quaintest of villages and friendly people you’ll meet around the globe.

With traditional architecture and canals, it was a beautiful place to visit; its history and sites a bonus on the side.  There's an old building with a glockenspiel that plays everyday in the middle of the square and would recommend seeing it at least once!  Despite only being  in Goslar for three days, it stood out to me as one of the loveliest places to go to. If you're feeling in a peripatetic mood, Goslar is definitely a stunning place to visit, if you're looking for a quiet and quaint town.  Author: Jessica Harper
