As a vast nation, Germany exhibits a broad range of contrasts. The Baltic and North Sea coasts, the Bavarian Alps, the Black Forest, and Berlin's clubs and bars are just a few of the places that attract tourists from across the world.  That is why I love representing Germany as a travel agent advisor. The arts and literature have always had a special place in German society. Even in the smallest communities, there are musical and other cultural groups. in addition to opera theaters and symphony orchestras. Germany is the birthplace of some of the most influential figures in Western civilization, including Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, and Schiller.  The arts are easily accessible in Germany, thanks to the country's many and cheaply priced events. In Germany, the architecture is just stunning. Germany's architectural talents were on full display throughout the Romanesque and Gothic eras. The Renaissance had just a marginal impact, although the Baroque and Rococo periods are well-represented here. Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Modern, and Post-Modern may also be seen in German cities, particularly in Berlin.  During World War II, the majority of German cities were destroyed by air strikes. Some cities chose to reconstruct their damaged structures while others elected to rebuild in a more contemporary design. Over 20,000 castles and ruins are dispersed throughout the nation. There are huge palaces and cathedrals in remote towns and locales. Germany is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, making it an ideal location for a vacation. With hundreds of miles of defined paths, hiking is Germany's most popular outdoor sport. Bicycling is also a popular mode of transportation, as there are a number of designated cycling routes across cities. Many of Germany’s rivers and lakes are suitable for canoeing and kayaking activities and the Mittelgebirge (the lower mountain range in central and southern Germany) is a good place to ski or snowboard in the winter. Mountains like the Bavarian Alps and wooded hills like the Black Forest are popular leisure venues as well. Berlin, the capital and largest German city, is a fascinating vacation spot. It features more than 170 museums, three opera houses, a plethora of cultural options, and a fascinating history. Visiting the royal residences in Potsdam is a great day excursion, and Saxony (Sachsen) features some of Germany's most beautiful terrains. Visitors frequently flock to the area’s two largest cities, Dresden and Leipzig. One of Germany's most popular tourist destinations is the Rhine Valley. A fascinating section of the valley is between Speyer andCologne (Köln), home to a lovely Gothic cathedral.  Every mile of the Rhine is dotted  with castles and castle ruins, making it the Rhine of mythology.The state of Baden-Württemberg is a popular vacation spot as well. If you're planning a trip to Germany, Heidelberg's castle ruins are a must-see destination. Also, Erfurt is a picture-perfect town nestled in a serene enclave in the Rhineland-Pfalz region. It's a popular destination for hikers and bikers both.  Whether you plan to see Munich, hike through the Black Forest, or spend time in Berlin, I promise, as your travel agent specialist, you will love your trip.
