Germany remains an increasingly popular tourist destination, particularly among German tourists, as confirmed by latest official statistics, reporting more than 223 million overnight stays recorded in the first half of 2025.
According to data published by the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), there was an increase of 0.1% in tourist overnight stays recorded in hotels, guesthouses and campsites in Germany, compared with the record achieved during the first six months of 2024.
The number of overnight stays by nationals increased by 0.8% to reach 178 millions in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year. However, the number of overnight stays by foreign tourists decreased by 3.2% to reach 36.4 million visitors.
For the month of June, German residential facilities registered 50.5 million overnight stays, by locals and foreigners, up 3.8% compared to June 2024.
On the other hand, overnight stays by foreigners registered a decrease of 12.7% to 7.6 million in June. Destatis allocates this setback to the particularly high number in the previous year, when the UEFA European Football Championship had attracted supporters from all over the world.
This gap was heftily compensated by the 42.8 million domestic visitor nights (+7.4%). The latest Whitsun holidays had a positive impact on nationals’ nights, the same source pointed out.
