Germany Travel Guide

Alemania, Tyskland, Niemcy —if Germany’s many names say anything, it’s that the country is far from homogenous. While you may be thinking lederhosen and beer steins, visitors soon discover Germany to be a patchwork of distinct cultures and traditions. Nowhere is this more evident than Berlin. The reunified city houses modern shopping malls, somber Soviet towers and graffiti-covered old buildings; an exciting and ever-evolving metropolis, Berlin has everything from neoclassic museums to beat-thumping nightlife. High-powered industry and age-old folklore intermingle in Munich, where you can sip the froth of Bavarian culture during Oktoberfest. Taste dry white wines in the romantic Rhine Valley or windsurf along the sandy hills and beaches of Northern Germany. Not the Germany you were envisioning, is it?
