Exciting adventure opportunities are opening up for Europe explorers
One of the best ways to explore new places and encounter new experiences is to take a journey in a motorhome rental.

Why this city? Well, with a motorhome rental from Hamburg you have the opportunity to discover all kinds amazing places in Germany. Below we’ve outlined just a few of the places and experiences you might come across on a motorhome road trip out of Hamburg.
Schwerin
You don’t have to go all the way to Bavaria to discover Germany’s romantic past - a visit to Schwerin will have you feeling like you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Schwerin Castle is a must-see attraction, set on its own island surrounded by parks and gardens, but this is far from the only beautiful highlight to catch here. The stately gothic Schwerin Cathedral is also well worth a visit - and don’t leave without wandering around the quaint Schelfstadt neighbourhood with its restored timber framed houses, shops and boutiques.
Berlin
You can’t visit northern Germany without calling into the nation’s flourishing historic capital, Berlin. There are far more things to see and do in this city than you’ll ever have the chance to experience in one short trip, but you can certainly make a good start! The iconic Brandenburg Gate is a great place to kick off your tour, before taking a sobering walk around the poignant Holocaust Memorial. Berlin is also famous for its world-class annual events, so if you can schedule your trip to coincide with events like the Berlin International Film Festival, you’re in for an incredible time.
Dresden
Lovingly rebuild and restored after the ravages of World War II, Dresden is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Those with an eye for magnificent architecture will quickly fall in love with this city, while art aficionados will find themselves gravitating to the old masters in the Dresden State Art Museum. Dresden’s main square is the place to be in summertime, with live music, street art and a thriving cafe culture all ready for you to discover without going far at all. Don’t leave before the awe-inspiring Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady).
Hamburg
Of course if you’re picking up a motorhome rental in Hamburg, you can hardly head home without exploring the city itself. Speicherstadt (“warehouse city”) doesn’t have the most exciting name, but this UNESCO World Heritage site is bursting with fun and intriguing things to do, from taking a spooky tour of Hamburg Dungeon to learning about (and tasting!) top notch coffee at Kaffeerösterei. Earlybirds can wander down to the Hamburg Fish Market to sample traditional German street food or pick up some fresh produce while touring Germany on a motorhome hire. Visiting in summer? Beautiful Lake Alster makes for a stunning picnic spot.
With Apollo motorhome rentals now available from Hamburg itself, all these amazing sites and far more besides are just waiting for you to discover them. Start planning your epic road trip through Germany today.

It’s funny how motorhome memories stick with you. I can still recall a motorhome vacation my family took when I was five years old and how awesome I thought I was, tucked away in a loft bed above the cab. From revealing unique destinations to providing tips and tricks, it’s my mission to help others build great motorhome memories too.
