Germany has always one of the centers of attractions on the globe. The place is as beautiful as the fantasy of an artist and the imagination of a poet. It has a rich history that’s speaks through the archaic and bewitching architecture and monuments, the culture and the convivial attitude of the locals. There are royal castles, magnificent castles and handmade houses that take you to the roads of the country’s glorious past. The wonderful cities of Germany like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt etc. treat you with an ecstatic unity in diversity.

The best time to visit Germany is summer season. When the sun is shining above your head during the months of April to September, Germany is an ideal place with mild weather and sunshine. Once you reach Germany, it is a pleasure and delight to explore the place via a train. These trains take you from town to town providing you the best of all amenities and an opportunity not just to explore the interior but also the enthralling outskirts of each city.

A Little about the Cities-

Berlin, the capital city of Germany is a city full of life and passion that never lets your spirits down. Besides the entertaining and unforgettable nightlife of Berlin there are other attractions too. The Brandenburg Gate and the remains of the Berlin Wall in Berlin sing the saga of the time of Second World War when Hitler reigned over Germany, are remarkable things to watch. While you are in Berlin be sure to visit the Checkpoint Charlie Museum that throws more light on the history of Berlin Wall and has a collection of the relics related to unbeaten escape attempts across its borders. Apart from this you should also visit the Germaldegaleire or the traditional Picture Gallery that has an exotic collection of the 13th to 18th century art.

There are several good hotels to make your stay comfortable in Berlin. The archaic Adlon Hotel is quite a renowned hotel in Berlin. You can ask either ask your travel agency to reserve the lodging for you or search the internet.

The city of Munich is bustling with all sorts of people from students to musicians, artists and the like. The place is known for its nightlife and for the love for fashion.

The popular tourist spots are the Englischer Garden which has a Chineese Pagoda along with beautifully trimmed landscape parks. Then there are also the Residenz palace and Klostergasthof Andechs well known for its chilly beer.

The city of Hamburg also known as the ‘gateway to the world’ is situated between the Lake Alster and River Elbe. The place has a horde of museums and historical buildings with a bubbling nightlife and delectable cuisine. Hotels like Kempinski Hotel Atlantic Hamburg located alongside Lake Alster can be opted to stay.

It really depends where you are going to in Germany...

There is loads you can do in each region - but you need to be a bit more precise about what you like.

Sport is very popular here - hiking, trekking and cycling.

Paragliding - it was invented here! go to Wasserkuppe to try it out - this is the birth place!

Skiing & snowboarding is also available in the summer - in indoor arenas. Water & fun parks are usually in every big city. In Bavaria there is water-rafting.

Skate-boarding and in-line skating are also popular.

In Berlin there is a popular craze starting - not sure of the name in English - but it involves people climbing over buildings, phone boxes...etc,  instead of walking around them...here is a link to describe it... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/495481...

There is loads of culture to see - music, theatre and museums,

Have fun and enjoy......

Answer 7

Germany is pretty cool. i say the small towns are the best b/c they have SO much character and people are great. depends where you are going.

i would say biking down the Rhine River would be cool to see the castles. There is also a town thats village was built into the side of a mountain. they sell lots of cool handmade jewlery. Bike trails are great, small cruies on a river, walking through an old castle, Beer Gardens, Hiking (if you are in the right area), camping (right area).  Hiedleberg, Rothenburg, Munich, are all cool. its hard to say since i dont know where you are.

for great in depth descriptions of activites, accomidations, and transportation i say buy a Rick Steves Book. They are about $20 and WELL worth it. it will tell you everything you want to know.

Answer 9

Depends where you're going. It's a big and diverse country.

In Bavaria (Beyern) they have dark forests, lots of loverly grub and they really like their beer. Don't waste your time drinking the standard 'international' brands, try some from a local brewery.

In the northern plain around Cologne (Koln) as far as Hannover it's a bit bland and industrial. You could visit Hammel and see where the piper led away the rats.

Go east into Brandenberg and Berlin and you'll find plenty to eat and drink. Don't bother with people who enthuse about 'curryworst'. They've obviously never tried proper curry. A hot dog soused with spicy thin tomato ketchup is nothing to be proud of. Lots of great micro-breweries in Berlin though.

Apart from that, the Germans love music and theatre. They have some fantastic scenery too, especially in the south, cycling and mountain walking are good.

Answer 13

Are you nuts?  Germany is a huge modern country with wide rivers, snowy mountains, beautiful towns, and you can do anything there you can do in any other modern country.  They have beaches up on the Baltic, islands like Helgoland, the Rhine, vinyards, forests, and on and on.  I spent a lot of time when a sprog cycling down the Danube.  The Weizen beer is especially good in te summer.  Berlin I would tend to avoid, though if you're into history it is fascinating.  Basically I am a moechte - gern Bayer, so it's Bavaria for me.
