Germany in review
Germany is full of surprises and it is difficult to know where to start in this treasure trove of landscapes, traditions, art and culture, architectural styles and culinary experiences. Breathe the sea air of the Baltic, visit the fairytale castles of the Bavarian Plains, hike through the Black Forest's pine carpeted woodlands or stay in a chalet style hotel in the Alpine meadows.
Germany shares its borders with a number of countries and their influence is suggested in its cities, each of which displays individual qualities. Contrasts in the people, lifestyle and traditions are evident; even the cuisine embraces it own specialities from region to region.
Travelling the country you will find captivating medieval villages and traditional wine villages, castles, palaces and fortresses that are part of Germany's romance and enchantment. Don't miss a visit to Trier, the 2000 year old Roman city and Aachen dating as far back as Charlemagne in 768 AD.
