Germany Travel
After a 20th century defined by war, conquest and division, Germany has arisen as one of the true cultural centerpieces of the 21st century. From the capital city of Berlin in the north, once the icon of division for the country, but now a glittering modern metropolis, to Munich and Fussen in the south, you’ll find dozens of major cities throughout the country home to extraordinary sites.
Along the southern border you’ll find the storied castles of Linderhof and Neuschwanstein among the Bavarian Alps, or the medieval city of Rothenburg, the anchor for the Romantic Road cutting through the landscape. The Rhine is one of the great rivers of Europe, along with which you’ll find historical wonders like the Marksburg castle and classical villages that retain much of their medieval charm.
Germany’s cuisine is legendary, from the world-famous beers that define many of the local communities to the regional dishes that feature some of the finest sausages and breads you’ll ever taste. It’s not only beer and pretzels, of course. Germany is home to a smorgasbord of delectable dishes throughout the summer and fall - every village seemingly with it’s own unique take on the local vegetation.
Culturally and historically, Germany has been the center of both history’s greatest and most terrifying developments. Hes, you’ll find ample reminders of the horrors of Nazism and the Holocaust, but you’ll also find the origins of those like Beethoven, Albert Einstein and Martin Luther. Ancient remnants of the Roman Empire and countless dynasties remain throughout the countryside, alongside modern developments that have propelled Germany to a position of prominence on the continent. Few countries will challenge and delight you like Germany.
