Germany

Germany, the home of Bratwurst and lederhosen

Germany is located centrally in northern Europe and one of the most powerful economies in the region. It is a relative big country in Europe with one of the largest populations. The country used to be divided into two parts but has been reunited which gives Germany a blend of different influences which is still visible today. There are many cities worth visiting such as its cultural capital Berlin, the financial heart of Frankfurt and Munich which is famous for its Oktoberfest. Several other cities including Cologne, Aachen en Dresden are worth a visit, but there are many interesting cities. The famous food in Germany is the sausage or as they call it, the 'bratwurst'. This is a snack you can buy everywhere. Another benefit of visiting Germany is that everything seems to work and the trains run on time. One particular attraction of Germany are the Christmas markets which are held in many cities in the last few weeks of December and despite the cold there is much to do throughout the cities. The weather in Germany is seasonal, so summers are nice and warm, while winters are rainy and cold. Germany also hosts some world famous universities such as the University of Heidelberg and the Humboldt university of Berlin.
