Making up a checker-board of fantasy, natural beauty, classical cultures & quaint folksiness, Germany can satisfy any traveller’s Wanderlust!
Germany is the heart of Europe. Surrounded by nine neighbours, it has a unique blend of ethnic diversity, modern lifestyle, great educational and employment opportunities, and not the least, an unparalleled zest for sports.
There is plenty to pick from, a calendar bursting with fairs and festivities, exciting travel routes through the famed Fairylands of the Brothers Grimm or the open-house at the vineyards during harvest, treks and expeditions across scenic country and a feast of displays at museums and exhibitions, both indoor as well as open-air.
Travelling through Germany is easy, through its famed road and rail networks, by air or even along the waterways. Language no longer remains a barrier and English is spoken or at least understood by most of the local residents.
No wonder that the heart of Europe continues to be a popular destination for tourists from the world over!
