Answer 1

Bavaria is the Germany that most Americans imagine when they think of "typical", traditional German.

It's largest city and capital is Munich - home of the Oktoberfest.  The Munich area is also home to many of the world's best car manufacturing companies - VW, AUDI, BMW.

Bavaria lies in Southern Germany and has a varied landscape, although predominantly forested hills and mountains.  The northern edge of the European Alps is in the southern part of Munich, including the highest point in Germany, the Zugspitze.  Bavaria also has many beautiful mountain lakes.

The main tourist attraction is the annual Oktoberfest celebration that occurs (funnily enough) mostly in September in Munich.  The Neuschwannstein castle (the model for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle) is one of the primary tourist destinations in the region when Oktoberfest is not in season.  The Garmisch-Partenkirchen area is a well-known ski destination that attracts many visitors and Munich itself has many tourist sites, including the Marienplatz and its mechanical clock, the Frauenkirche towers, the German Museum, the English Gardens and Nymphenburg Palace.

The regional dress today is basically the same as any other industrialized nation, and perhaps a bit more stylish than some.  However, the traditional folk costume includes lederhosen for men and boys and dirndl dresses for women.  The clothes are referred to as "Trachten" clothes, generally - these are the clothes that most foreigners associate with tradition German dress.
