Germany
 

A huge and diverse country Germany offers every visitor something to please them. A historically divided nation, Germany still retains it's own cultural characteristics from region to region. Former eastern Germany however has embraced western social standards with relish. Berlin has found itself to be one of the most artful,  multicultural, accepting city in the whole of western Europe. German people are stoutly proud of what they produce and their identity as a people. If there are two things that any German will admit to loving it will be beer and Football.

     
   

Since the fall of the wall in Berlin this inspiring fascinating city has become central to artists, music folk and performers. Now home to numerable event venues. For art lovers the choice is astounding with no less than 170 galleries and museums and over 100 cinemas. Outside of Berlin Germany is scattered with smaller, friendly slower paced university towns filled with amazing buildings and night life alike.

In the south Bavaria serves up a different feel completely. This is the land associated with beer maidens and litre steins. Munich in this states plays host yearly to Europe's biggest beer festival Oktoberfest, a month long festival paying homage to Germany's many micro breweries and big name brands.

     

Germany's stunning landscape takes in the huge and eerie Black Forest in the south west to the Bavarian Alps and the North German plains. Any number of activities are on offer but Germany is well equipped for camping trips. Make like a native and hire a huge fully equipped camper van and tour the country in style. It would be a sin to miss traditional Bratwurst, a sausage regularly served with a cold pilsner. Prost!
