Europe - Western Europe - Germany
Few countries have had as much impact on the world as Germany, a land of innovation that has given us the printing press, the automobile, aspirin and MP3 technology. Here travelers can visit the birthplaces of Martin Luther, Albert Einstein and Karl Marx, of Goethe, Beethoven and the Brothers Grimm and other greats who, in some way, have forged the fate of humankind. Visitors encounter history in towns where streets were laid out during the Middle Ages and a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque architecture in Schloss Weesenstein. Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and other vibrant cities wow with progressive cuisine scenes and a cultural kaleidoscope bursting with a panoply of experiences – from high-brow opera to underground dance parties. And wherever one goes, Romanesque, Gothic and baroque classics rub rafters with architectural creations from modern masters such as IM Pei and Frank Gehry. There’s something undeniably artistic in the way the landscape unfolds as well, from the dune-fringed island of Sylt in the north, to Thuringia’s forests, and romantic river valleys of the middle regions to the off-the-charts splendor of the Alps, carved into rugged glory by glaciers and the elements.
