Home swap & apartment swap in Germany

Germany is the country with the most listings on FreeHomeSwap.com. One reason for this is that many members prefer to swap within their own country, without having to fly, travelling by car or train instead.

There are a particularly large number of apartments in the major cities. Berlin is by far the leader, followed by Munich, Hamburg and Cologne, as well as Leipzig, Dresden and Freiburg. Those looking for a holiday by the water will find holiday apartments and houses on the Baltic Sea coast from Usedom to Kühlungsborn, on Sylt and along the East Frisian North Sea coast. For walkers and winter sports enthusiasts, there are options in the Black Forest, the Allgäu, the Bavarian Forest and the Harz Mountains; for those seeking a leisurely break, there are options along the Moselle and on Lake Constance.

Around half of the properties are pet-friendly. And because the distances are short, many members also offer weekend swaps – for example, a few days in Berlin in exchange for a weekend by the sea.
