The Place

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. The braver Germany tourist won't want to miss out on beer and bratwursts of Oktoberfest, the world's largest fair or the Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall in Munich. A trip to Germany has something for everyone.
