Germany:
is `wunderbar,` From the Alps in the south to the low plains stretching to the Baltic and North Seas and the beautiful islands of Rügen and Sylt in the north; from the Roman city of Aachen in the west to the baroque city of Dresden in the east—not to mention Berlin—Germany offers something for everyone. Over 2,000 medieval castles, new design hotels, post-modern architecture, over 5,000 different types of beer, dry Riesling wines, soaring Alps, fairy tale roads, and top fashion designers are only a few of the attractions Germany offers its visitors. Germany`s towns and cities are modern and alive and yet testaments to the past. Enjoy the endless fun of a city`s museums, historic sites, famous festivals, and shopping, or relax at a cafe. Cities are steeped with history and at every turn you will encounter the great names of the past and enjoy the architectural and artistic heritage of great eras.  Here, history really comes to life. In every season the calendars are jam-packed with events for every taste: Top quality concert series, art exhibitions, outstanding theatre, major international sporting events, you can enjoy thriving nightlife or celebrate the classics - Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. Regions are sharply defined, each one maintaining its distinctive character in terms of dialect, traditional dress and foods. Booming Berlin, now the No. 1 tourist magnet is the clearest benefactor of reunification in 1989. As the capital of Germany, a city of cultural superlatives: three opera houses, two concert halls and eight symphony orchestras await you - more than in any other city in the world. Over 150 theatres and stages offer Boulevard Theatre, classic opera, world literature classics and off-scene. Visitors to the cultural centers of Dresden, Leipzig and Weimar in eastern Germany will find improved amenities there as well. The north has the delightful old seafaring cities of Hamburg and Bremen. Along the Rhine and Moselle Rivers are picturesque castles and steep, terraced vineyards. From Frankfurt to Bremen runs a trail of villages that helped inspire the Grimm Brothers` fairy tales. In the south are the alluring Black Forest, Munich and Bavaria`s boisterous beer halls and rococo palaces and churches. Germany shares a border with nine countries, more than any other European nation. Internally, it`s divided into 16 bundeslander (provinces or states). Its only coastlines are in the north, along the North and Baltic Seas. In the south are mostly foothills and mountains: the Alps in the far south and the Erzgebirge in the southeast. The central part of the country is also spotted with several smaller mountain ranges. The northern third of the country is mostly a plain. Rivers are also distinctive features. The main ones are the Rhine, which flows northward in the western part of the country; the Danube, which begins as a trickle in the southwest and becomes a real river farther east; the Elbe, which flows through Dresden in the southeast and into the North Sea near Hamburg; and the Oder and Neisse, which together form the eastern border with Poland. Whatever you want, it`s more than you imagined! Here, there`s something for everyone – from charming Rhine river cruises and the traditional Oktoberfest and Christmas markets, to the cultural hotbed of Berlin and the thrill of skiing or snowboarding in the Alps. With so much to see and do, a vacation to Germany is one you’ll never forget!
