I'm going to Germany in the summer with my boyfriend and his family..any reccomendations? |
Travel Info Im SO excited!! It's my first time out of the country. How should I act, what places should I see? Travel Tips "B.'s" comments are stupid and dumb - she surely is not a German at all. And Germans doesn't hate the Americans, but the Germans strongly dislike Bush and the current US government and Germans doesn't support the war in Iraq at all - that's a major difference. About your upcoming trip: I don't know where you'll go - but, I advice you to see Hamburg, Berlin, K枚ln (Cologne) and also some other towns in this country. The Cologne Cathedral is a must for foreign visitors! Usually, southern Germany is much more expensive than Northern Germany, but it's up to you where you will stay and make your tours. Also read some good tourism website for Germany, like http://www.germany-tourism.de or the websites of these German towns you want to visit, like http://www.hamburg.de oder http://www.berlin.de Also be aware that summer can be very hot & humid in Germany (up to 95-100掳 F). If you need more travel advices, you can email me (click at my profile here). I hope you'll enjoy your trip to Germany! Source(s): My yahoo search on the Cologne Cathedral: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=cologne... Other Travel Tips Tell them you'd like to see the death camps from WWII. Well, first of all...have fun...just act yourself! If you are in the Frankfurt area, visit towns like Aschaffenburg, Gelnhausen, Ronneburg, and there is this special little castle called: Schloss Mespelbrunn. Have fun! Well, don't be offended - they don't like Americans over there. What places? Castle Neuschwanstein - but it really depends where you are going, because it's not really close by each other (sights in Germany). Go to Berlin, they have a little bit of everything to see and to buy. If you are 16 you can drink beer, so have a Bananenweizen or Colaweizen. Or just a plain "Pils" but I personnally don't like that too much (regular beer). Try all kinds of different meals - we know how to cook in Germany! And go to a lake or a puplic swimming pool (called Schwimmbad) that's where most teenagers go in the summertime and it's not like in the States, it's normally big and is more like a little water park. Germans are rude from nature - so don't get mad, they might bump into you or step on your toes or push you aside. That's normal. I recommend Munich, Hamburg and Berlin (totally far apart, but the nicest) and lots to see. Definetely go to an Italian Icecream Parlor and have some "Stracciatella" Ice Cream!!! But any Ice cream is great - so much better then in the States. New comment: I don't mean to offend anybody but I'm just being honest - one of the "qualities" Germans have. Speaking as a GERMAN (and YES Ich bin Deutsche und es braucht mir keiner was andres erzaehlen!!! Ich werds ja wohl besser wissen!): They didn't like Americans BEFORE the war in Iraq, Missy! (And I never said we HATE Americans, I just said dislike, HATE is a strong word) It's a little bit of everything: American soldiers impregnating German girls, all the military bases that there are still (how would YOU like to have army posts of a different country in YOUR cities??), well, also the fact that the States kicked Germany's behind in WW2. Another reason is, that Americans are considered (and this is NOT my personal opinion) wasteful; especially with gas (your cars need more than the same car in Germany for whatever reason), there is barely any carpooling (if you look on the freeway there is mostly only ONE person driving, at least in Houston), and another reason is, that Bushy doesn't want to sign the Kyoto protocol... Then there is the recycling issue (in Germany we recycle everything, in the States I have to throw my batteries into regular trash cuz... they make it very difficult to recycle) and that Americans just keep going into other countries to make "peace". And then there is the fact that Americans have this attitude like "Deutschland Deutschland ueber alles" about their country and every German will understand what I mean by that. Okay, so I just wanted to set this straight. Germany is a beautiful country, she will have fun there, but lets just get the facts right YOU PEOPLE. I'm from Germany. Germany is beautiful.... Frankfurt: do the river cruise and visit heidelberg Munich: you have the bmw museum and the allianz arena...do buy a beer jar as a souvenier Berlin: Brandenberg gate, reminissants of the Berlin wall Cologne: Cologne cathedral is a must see If ur going during december, do go to nuremberg for the xmas market...there is plenty more..try driving on the romantic route as well its fabulous...hope you enjoy your trip:) |
