Germany is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain ranges
and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its capital, is home to art and
nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for
its Oktoberfest and beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its
skyscrapers, houses the European Central Bank.
Germany is a place that can't be encapsulated in a series of paragraphs, so it is truly best to
grab the chance to experience it in all its finery when the opportunity comes. Come for the beer
and bratwurst, stay for the philosophy and art. Germany is continually evolving and visitors get
to enjoy the fruits of its being at the center of the world stage.
