Guten tag! Today, our attention drifts across the Atlantic to the beautiful European continent. In particular, we’d like to leverage the expertise of our friend Andy here to talk about Germany. Andy spent 3 years working for a large tour operator as a tour director, taking travelers all over Germany (and a few other countries here and there). Andy is fluent in German and French and can talk for HOURS about the history and sites of Germany in particular. We’ll try to keep it closer to twenty minutes for you today though.
* What are the largest attractions in Germany? Where should we be sure to go?
* What is a hidden gem that not as many people might know about?
* How easy is it to get around? Should we drive? Train?
* What’s the weather like? When is the best time to go?
* Beer? Do tell!
* What are some customs we should know so that we aren’t so touristy when we go?
* What are some common “myths” about Germany?
* Are there places that are very different from what we might expect them to be like?
Have you visited Germany – what were your impressions? Let us know!
