Germany is one of Europe's most fascinating travel and holiday destinations.

With a long and often troubled history at the center of European politics, Germany is now a peaceful and prosperous giant.

Highlights of any visit to the country are its many historic cities such as Cologne, Regensburg, Heidelburg, Trier and Bamberg, its friendly people and, of course, Germany's excellent beer and wine.

Don't miss Berlin's modern architecture, the baroque treasures of Potsdam, Bavaria's fantasy castles, hiking in the wonderful Alps or the Black Forest, cruising the Rhine and skiing in Garmisch.
