Travel Tips

I am well travelled in Germany and have visited the 'big four' (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne) as well as many other smaller towns and have to say, in my opinion, there is no better city than Berlin. It is a city of great diversity, culture and history. Discover a city so greatly involved in and influenced and changed by WWII and the Cold War - the division of a city caught between two ideologies - Western capitalist and Eastern socialist - and that is today once again one of Europe's great capitals. Berlin is a city rapidly evolving into an economic powerhouse. For the tourist it offers arguably Europe's best nightlife, a vast array of museums, parks and waterways/lakes. Berlin is also famed for its numerous festivals, theatres and cultural exhibitions.

i go there each ,month
Dusseldorf, and if you've got time venture away a little to the Bermuda Triangle in Bochum - loads of bars and restaurants that never close!
Heidelberg is a beautiful university city.Loads of historical interest.
If you want to go to a major city-go to Munich!
You can see many things and the people are nice. Great food and very good beer-if you like that.
Definitely Munich! If you only have a couple of days Munich has everything for you. There is plenty of history, museums, etc., plenty of shopping/restaurants/hotels, beautiful archictecture, and many people speak English. I've been to Munich a few times and always look forward to going back. In fact my husband just returned from there last night ... unfortunately this time I was unable to go with him.
