As IGAL has  many members from Germany, we decided to feature some facts about it.

Germany has numerous notable cities within its borders, each with its own unique history and attractions. Listed below are the five largest cities in Germany, ordered by their total population. Population statistics are approximate.

#1 – Berlin (Population: 3.8 mil.)

Berlin, the federal capital of Germany, is well known for its museums, sporting events, and universities, and also for its festivals and active nightlife. Receiving more than six million annual visitors, it’s no wonder that tourism plays a significant role in Berlin’s industry. In fact, it is one of most visited cities in the European Union.

#2 – Hamburg (Population: 1.9 mil.)

Officially known as the “Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg),” Hamburg is one of Germany’s most important media outlets, with around half of the country’s newspaper and magazine companies taking root within its city limits.

#3 – Munich / München (Population: 1.5 mil.)

Munich is the capital city of Bavaria and is located north of the Bavarian Alps on the River Isar. One of Munich’s most famous attractions is Oktoberfest, which runs for 16 to 18 days and draws millions of visitors each year who partake in the festivities. Oktoberfest is considered the world’s largest people’s fair.

#4 – Cologne / Köln (Population: 1.1 mil.)

Cologne is known as a city of the arts and contains hundreds of galleries and over 30 museums. The city is also home to the University of Cologne, which is one of the oldest universities in Europe.

#5 – Frankfurt (Population: 800k.)

Frankfurt is the largest city in the German state of Hesse. Home to the European Central Bank, the city is the financial centre for both Germany and continental Europe. Frankfurt is also considered a major transportation hub, containing one of the world’s busiest airports and one of Europe’s most trafficked railway terminals.
