Information about Germany

No matter whether you seek an adrenaline-fueled foray on the autobahn or a leisurely ride on its latest-generation trains, Germany is a land that demands exploration. Walk through the old town, full of history, and enjoy the mixture of Renaissance and Baroque in Schloss Neuschwanstein. Or walk around the streets of Munich and Hamburg, filled with fancy restaurants, great operas and underground dance parties. Traveling to Berlin demands that you abandon yourself to its pleasures and forget about how you might behave at home. Germany is Europe's capital where world affairs, realms of science, technology, commerce, arts and architecture play an important role.
