GERMANY
Germany
is a fascinating country steeped in history, where you can find
authentic recreations of medieval times, wonderful museums and traditional
festivals such as the famous Oktoberfest. However, Germany is a
very good choice for the English-speaking traveler, since many Germans
speak English and American influences such as fast food and casual
clothing are widespread!
Germany is famous for its castles and palaces. At
many of them, you will find medieval times painstakingly restored,
with traditional dancing, entertainment and even traditionally prepared
medieval food. But culture is found in the charming old cities of
Germany as well. Enjoy many museums and beautifully designed churches,
famous landmarks of classical cities also, musical forms
such as opera are very popular as well.
German food is hearty and very traditional, and of
course consumed with famous, authentic German beer. German beer,
of course, is fascinating in its own right there are even
festivals devoted to it, ranging from the popular Oktoberfest to
smaller, more intimate festivals in other towns. Festivals and other
traditions are very popular Germans celebrate more holidays
than Americans, and there always seems to be something going on.
