These are the most popular places in Germany (and the world) - Mallorca's Reign Ends: Antalya Emerges as Germans' Top Travel Choice
German tourists are adjusting their travel preferences, with Mallorca experiencing a significant decrease in visitors due to escalating costs. Meanwhile, Antalya in Turkey is emerging as the new favorite, even surpassing Mallorca in 2025. Closer to home, domestic tourism remains strong, with many Germans opting to holiday within their own country.
The number of German tourists visiting Mallorca has fallen by nearly ten percent, with increasing costs being the primary reason. This decline has opened the door for Antalya, which is now the top travel destination for Germans. In 2025, more Germans are expected to visit Turkey than Mallorca.
Domestic tourism in Germany remains robust, with approximately 30 percent of Germans choosing to spend their holidays within their own country. The Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg has been named the most popular attraction, drawing visitors with its intricate miniature models. Meanwhile, Binz, a charming seaside resort on the eastern coast of Rügen, continues to be the most popular vacation spot, welcoming around 1.2 million annual visitors.
The changing travel trends among German tourists highlight a shift towards more affordable destinations, with Antalya in Turkey gaining significant popularity. Despite this, domestic tourism remains strong, with iconic attractions like the Miniatur Wunderland and vacation spots like Binz continuing to draw large numbers of visitors.
