Rich in history, there is plenty to soak up on a Germany vacation - castles, medieval cities, bustling metropolises. The birthplace of Pope Benedict in Marktl am Inn, the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, the Cathedral of Cologne, or the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in the Alps.

A trip to Germany has something for everyone.
