Overview

Germany

Socialites should make a stop for Berlin's trendy nightlife. If you want more of a traditional setting, the Bier Garten, where sauerkraut, sausage and knuckles of pork are served, is ideal. Go to Munich, the Bavarian Queen, where the Beer Festival takes place every year (end of September-start of October). However, that is not all. Germany is also home to a coastal area, Hanseatic cities, part of the Alps, castles, palaces and fairy tale homes.

pros

  •  Cultural diversity.
  •  Several tourist roads, especially those of the Bavarian castles
  •  Beautiful landscapes.

cons

  •  Cost of living and high costs of certain visits.
  •  Crowded at tourist sites and also during major events.

Country Guide

Germany Germany, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Germans are known for their rigour and discipline. Always be punctual, this is an important quality in Germany.
Even with a friend, forget all the hugging and kissing and simply go for a handshake.
Enjoy the numerous tourist roads proposed by the Tourism Authorities. To avoid the huge tourist crowds, it is best to come in May or September. In any event, it is almost mandatory to book your rooms as early as possible before your departure.
Those with small budgets should avoid visiting towns when there are trade fairs organised as prices skyrocket!
