Lying in the middle of the continent, Germany had a great cultural and political influence upon all the European countries during the centuries and became today’s third largest economy in the world. High Alps in the South, the Bavarian plain, Black Forest waterfalls and the coast of the North and Baltic Sea create a bewitching natural frame and provide a wide range of entertainment and outdoor activities.

A varied architecture will take you in a journey through the ages, from the medieval castles, gothic churches and traditional villages to the elegant and futuristic buildings in the larger cities – with a stop at the ruins of the famous Berlin Wall, useful memento of the Cold War era.

You can always enjoy some beer and sausages in a traditional festival with cheerful people and live music or have a taste of the latest electronic music trends in the sleek night clubs of the German techno scene.
