Germany Mini Guide
If you have never perceived Germany to be a holiday destination, then you will sure to be amazed to find just what Germany has to offer the visitor. Germany is the kind of travel destination which can be visited the whole year round, a great location for short breaks during the autumn and winter months, and longer stays during the summer. Its cities are famed for their beer festivals, lively local markets and impressive architecture.
Germany really has everything to offer from skiing in the Alps to luxury summer boating vacations on its waterways. Stunning scenery can be found along the banks of the River Rhine and the River Moselle, with hidden villages tucked away in the hills just waiting to be found by those who are touring by car. Germany has a wide range of cultural influences and a long history, which can make it a stimulating and enthralling place to visit any time of the year.
Indeed, most people never realise just how truly diverse Germany can be, mountains to the south boast some of the best skiing in Europe, whilst in the north, clean and sandy beaches rival many of those found in more traditional European resort areas. The centre of Germany is a mixture of mountainous areas and forests and the modern attractions such as the adventure parks in the west are popular with families.
Although it must be said that it is the cities of Germany which are in many ways are its truly hidden treasure. Many German cities have undergone huge amounts of redevelopment whilst managing to maintain a sense of their original character along with many of the original buildings of note.
