Germany Travel Guide

More than beer tents and currywurst.

There's nothing more quintessential than going to one of Munich's biergartens especially during Oktoberfest to grab a pint with your friends or even random strangers.  It's an experience I totally recommend.  Going beyond the ale is a country that has an exciting mix of medieval towns, sweeping forests, modern metropolises, and historic sites.  Germany is a big country and offers a lot for travellers.

This Germany travel guide will help you plan your next vacation.
