Maritim Titiseehotel, Titisee-Neustadt

Advantages: beautiful, lovely weather, port aventura, aquaopolis, day trips to barcelona, cheap, safe area, bonavista market, close to airport
Disadvantages: rush for sunbeds in the morning!

It houses lots of memorabilia from things like the ferry services and lifeboats. The museum has a small gift shop selling all kinds of sea related gifts, books and toys. The Leading Lights cafe in the basement area serves lovely coffee and cakes... Read review
