Germany

In the heart of Europe, Germany offers small picture postcard towns, elegant big-city charm, fine wine and beer, and a wealth of art and culture, plus the perennial pleasure of huge tracts of forest and castles along the Rhine. Germany also lies at the crossroads of Continental history. From the beauty of its cathedrals to classical films, from the silent era of cinema, influential philosophers, physicists, classical composers, Germany has it all.
