Germany has been on the leading edge of European politics and inventions for better or worse over the last few centuries. Today Germany is Europe’s financial powerhouses and cities like Berlin and Frankfurt head the charge and are some of the most exciting cities you will visit. It’s crazy to think about what this Germany has gone through in the last century, revolutions, bombed to near annihilation, divided in half, to reunification. It’s remarkable to witness the reemergence and transformation of Germany into a free thinking progressive society today from where it once was. However have no doubt, even though todays skyline is home to some of Europe’s most inspiring architecture structures traditional culture is alive and well. 

Quaint tree lined neighborhoods, fabulous restaurants, biergartens, underground clubs, music halls, galleries and museums are everywhere. There is no better place on Earth to make new friends than in Munich at Oktoberfest. Every nationality and language join together to raise a traditional German stein and cheers to new friendships…an event that all should experience at least once in their life. There is perhaps no better way to nurse away a hangover then fresh air and some outdoor adventure. The Bavarian Alps and The Black Forest offers some of Europe’s best skiing, hiking, biking and watersports activities. But don’t worry if you need a little more time you can always explore one of the more than 25,000 castels, refile that beer stein and chow down some traditional food….after all you are in Germany!
