Germany is divided into 16 states each with its own unique, and long, history. Here we can only mention some of the regions that you can visit on your next vacation. Whether you're here to take a cruise down the
Danube, the Elbe, or the Rhine; go hiking in the Alps or the Black Forest; take snapshots of architectural wonders past and present; or browse some of the worlds finest museums, you will find the
experience of Germany well worth the effort. Every trip to this heart of Europe should begin in Berlin.
Berlin, the capital of Germany and the heart of German culture, is the largest city in the country. With so many museums, the Brandenburg Gate, and the famous Unter den Linden street, visitors can
spend weeks just skimming the surface. In the south, Munich's economy is perhaps the strongest in Germany. Biotechnology, software, manufacturing, finance, and publishing are major engines of the
economy. But, Munich is also known for its Glockenspiel clock tower. Neuschwanstein is perhaps Germany's most famous castle, a short drive outside the city. Berlin and Munich are definitely the
preferred destinations of dedicated shoppers, and taking city tours of these wonderful locations can be fun and educting for the whole family.
Rothenburg is Germany's best preserved and most famous medieval city. Standing on the ramparts and taking in the view one can imagine what it must have been like in the Middle Ages. Hamburg is the
second largest city in Germany and its economy revolves around shipping and international trade, aerospace, and media. Frankfurt is the financial center of Germany. The European Central Bank and
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are here. Cologne is a city of cathedrals that should not be missed. The Cologne Cathedral, begun in 1248 wasn't completed until 1880!
