Let's begin in Berlin which is the capital and also the largest city in Germany. After the separation during the cold war Berlin has quickly emerged as the most cosmopolitan and eccentric city in Germany for nightlife, architecture and art. Munich which is the capital of Bavaria and your gateway to the breathtaking Alps is stunningly beautiful and green, offering traditional German architecture and museums, and Bavaria's Royal past. The hospitality and world famous beer festival takes place in October drawing around six million visitors yearly.
The major hub is Frankfurt and is the financial centre of the country. You will witness gleaming tall buildings and also this city hosts many major events, one being the biggest Book fair in the world of its kind. Other cities in Germany like Hamburg which is the second largest city and has one of the biggest harbours in the world, and is also legendary for its unbelievable night life. It has several waterways running through the centre of Hamburg with plenty of charm and has more bridges than Venice and Amsterdam put together!
Germany's oldest city lies on the Banks of the Trier and was founded by a Roman colony in 1600BC. Roman domination is extremely prevalent here in Trier. Weimar displays the heart of German culture and was also home to many artists, like Bach and Goethe to name a few. In Dresden you will experience brilliant examples of baroque architecture as well as exquisite art treasures.
There are just so many things to do and sites to visit all of which no traveler should miss. Neuschwanstein Castle is the most famous in the world found tucked away in the Alps, and is truly a fairytale if ever there was one. In fact Walt Disney was inspired by this castle for his classic Sleeping beauty. You have to see this castle to believe it.
When it comes to German cuisine it is not all about sausages and beer. Theres a rich and varied cuisine that comes with culture and history to enjoy. You can choose from thick chowders to the finest salmon as well as delicious pastries with crayfish. Game is also popular especially in the Black Forest offering quail, venison and boar.
Shopping is definitely a German thing, like maybe a past time, as whatever you are looking for is at your finger tips. They do not have these massive malls that most are used to; but the malls they have are very adequate and you find anything you are looking for and might I add at very good prices.
The weather in Germany is mild, with hot summers and cold winters. Expect rain in July and during summer you can expect electric storms. Winter is very cold and the lakes and channels freeze leaving temperatures of around 2 degrees Celsius and 24 degrees Celsius in the summer months. This is a wonderful country for a family vacation and as so much to offer everyone. So go online and book your Germany accommodation in any of the cities in Germany now.
