Introducing Germany
Few countries have had as much impact on the world as Germany, a land of innovation that has given us the printing press, the automobile, aspirin and MP3 technology. This is the country where you can visit the birth places of Martin Luther, Albert Einstein and Karl Marx, of Goethe, Beethoven and the Brothers Grimm and other greats who, in some way, have forged the fate of humankind. The roots of modern architecture? Right here in Dessau where the Bauhaus movement began. For God’s sake (so to speak), even the pope is German!

You’ll encounter history in towns where streets were laid out during the Middle Ages and a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque architecture in Schloss Weesenstein. Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and other vibrant cities will wow you with progressive cuisine scenes and a cultural kaleidoscope bursting with a panoply of experiences – high-brow opera to underground dance parties. And wherever you go, Romanesque, Gothic and baroque classics rub rafters with architectural creations from modern masters such as IM Pei and Frank Gehry. There’s something undeniably artistic in the way the landscape unfolds, from the dune-fringed island of Sylt in the north, to Thuringia's Forests, and romantic river valleys of the middle regions to the off-the-charts splendor of the Alps, carved into rugged glory by glaciers and the elements. All are a part of the vast and magical natural quilt that’ll undoubtedly have you burning up the pixels in your digicam.
