Tourist Overview: From the High Alps in the South, the Bavarian plain, and the flowing hills of central Germany to the coast of the North and Baltic Sea: it all looks like a miniature train landscape packed with the nicest of old towns, medieval houses, gothic churches and small villages. Thanks to the different regional princedoms, earldoms, monarchies and states Germany did not develop unique during the last centuries. Thus Germany has not one but many major cities. And each city has its own unique character, formed by its history and the surrounding region. Each is a whole new world unto itself in which you will experience not only different architectural styles and art treasures but also a very distinctive lifestyle. Local traditions and mentalities are clearly reflected everywhere - in the arts, the nightlife, the shops, the pubs and restaurants and the way people work and live.
To start in the north, spend some days in Hamburg, Bremenor Lubeck, and the "Hanse" cities, whose prosperity arose out of the ship trade market. Berlin, the capital, is of course one of the top travel destinations in Germany. In the eastern part of Germany, you can find real gems: Leipzig, Weimar and Schwerinand.. Continue south, passing through Nuremnberg, you will soon hit Munich, a city known for beer, but also for art. It is a good starting point to find the treasures of Bavaria. Discover the beautiful south west of Germany with cities like Freiburg, Heidelberg and Tubingen. In the western part cities still have some French influence, discover Bonn, Dusseldorf, Cologne, the heart of the Rhineland, Trier, the oldest city of Germany and a former capital of the Roman Empire or Aachen with its impressive cathedral.
Today Germany is also an industrial powerhouse. In the Ruhrgebiet (Essen, Oberhausen, Duisburg and surrounding) there is heavy industry, different car brands like Mercedes (near Stuttgart), BMW and VW make Germany one of the worlds biggest car producers and Framkfurt is the country's bank and finance center, called also "Mainhattan".
