Germany consistently ranks as having one of the world’s most powerful passports. German citizens enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 190 destinations globally. In addition to extensive travel privileges, German passport holders benefit from excellent healthcare, free or low-cost education, and access to the EU single market.
As a leader in the European Union, Germany offers its citizens political stability, economic opportunities, and one of the highest standards of living. Dual citizenship is allowed in specific circumstances, adding flexibility for global citizens.

We, of course, have our opinion of what makes the grade and we present them here in our list of the best paintings of all time.
