Traveling to Germany

I got this artical from this website fecielo.com

The Magic of GermanyAre you still clinging to the image of the titanic age car in which Jack and Rose made out? Even Volkswagen has undergone so many times of evolution and what more the advent of other symbols of national pride like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche has long given Germany a world-renowned modern and hi-tech façade. City like Frankfurt (”Mainhattan”) features an extraordinary skyline in Central Europe with high-rise buildings, an ever-expanding airport. Other contemporary highlights include Germany’s excellent network of roadways and the InterCityExpress (ICE), an extensive network of high speed trains. Do all these conjure up the pictures of Tokyo, Japan? Not quite so. At least you don’t have sexy Japanese girls like Nozomi Sasaki here but you find Heidi Klum to be the nitrous boost to your heart, and then you will be craving for the adrenaline-fuelled raid on the autobahn network, which has many sections without speed limits beckoning a multitude of speed starving racers. What? You are just a boy? Oops, my bad. Going for a laid-back ride on its latest-generation trains could be your cup of tea. Just know the fact that Weimar and Dessau are where the Bauhaus movement began, the foundation of modern art and architecture trends in Western Europe.

Several historical towns resemble mammoth time machine taking travelers all the way back to the Middle Ages. When they are bought back to life in Schloss Weesenstein, the mélange of Renaissance and Baroque architecture is there to have them believe that they are not yet returning to the modern world. Thing goes even worse when they find themselves lost in a labyrinth of Romanesque, Gothic and baroque classics intertwine with architectural creations by contemporary masters like IM Pei and Frank Gehry. Amazing huh? Anyway, when you teeter on the brink of going fanatical, that you can’t distinguish the past from the present, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and other bubbly cities are your salvation smashing you with first-rate gastronomy and a cultural kaleidoscope. From high-brow opera to underground revelry, get ready for the panoply of atmosphere. What’s more, the way sceneries spread out reminds you of the tremendous façade details of Casa Batllo in Barcelona, Spain. How so? From northern dune-fringed island of Sylt to central Germany’s Bavarian plain, Thuringia’s Forests and dreamy river valleys to the ethereal grandeur of the Alps in the south, engraved into jagged splendor by glaciers and the elements, the landscape itself is a detailed art wanderers appreciate most.

No worries about hunger, you are very likely to bump into epicure restaurants at every corner serving mouthwatering food and drinks. From vigorous country charge at affordable inns to fashionable light connoisseur at star-rated cafés, each region has its typical local specialties in addition to the top-notch international gourmet. Munich is the heart of its famous beer culture as well as the host for Europe’s most visited fiesta and world’s largest feast, the popular annual Oktoberfest. Meanwhile, famous wine growing areas dotted around the south-western regions such as Rheinhessen and Palatinate, while Bad Durkheim on the “German wine route” is the organizer of the largest wine festival in the world boasting over 600 thousands visitors each year. That said, your trips to different cities are surely accompanied by the world-celebrated beers and wines, making each step a memorable culinary experience.
